Purchased at a race expo and walked in them ALL day prior to a marathon. I took a big risk and wore them for the marathon the next morning. They were so comfy!!! No blisters, no pain -- love the lightweight and all over cushioning. Great experience with my first Altra pair! Thank you!

I use these every day all day long -- so far for about 8 months. The cushioning is SO PLUSH! The toe box is wide, which is great! And the tongue on the shoe is thin and soft. THE PERFECT SHOE! I have metatarsal issues and plantar fasciitis, and these shoes have really helped that. It was so bad before that I couldn't walk for months, the custom orthotics didn't work either. But my ortho surgeon recommended these, AND THEY ARE GREAT!!!!

I have big ol' flipper feet and these are amazing. Extremely comfortable for long stretches of time, lots of room in the toe box so no bunching when I run and my foot inevitably swells. Stylish enough that you could get away with them for business casual looks.

I love these shoes. I started wearing these because Altra is known for their wide footshape in front. I had developed a Morton's Neuroma, and between Altra athletic shoes and Birkenstocks, I actually managed to cure that! These allowed a lot of toe-spread, and I love the zero-drop (that means your heel and forefoot will be the same amount of space off the ground, i.e.,, not hiked up in the back like most athletic shoes that are 10mm or 12mm heel-to-toe drop). I was used to zero drop from wearing Birkenstocks, so these fit the bill for me. Can't recommend highly enough the Altra brand and what this shoe has done for my foot health.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Haflinger, Merrell, Lems

They have plenty of toe room, are cushy and comfortable. A light weight, good walking shoe. The neutral charcoal grey main color isn't drab, with a bit of trim colors which look good but are not flashy, these shoes go with most everything I typically wear. Definitely keepers!

Love these! Hate the newer model because it is too narrow in the toe box. I'm loookg at other brands Bessie sadly altra decided to narrow the toe box in all its shoes. Very sad! Please bring the torin 4 or 4.5 plush back with wide toe box

I have been a fan of barefoot since I was 2, barefoot shoes since I was 25, and now that I am in my 40's, I need a little more. Zero drop works for me, and these allow all the natural stride I want and still have the cushioning I need.

These are the best shoes. I have planters fasciitis and these are the only shoes I can wear for hours and hours at a time, miles and miles of walking with no pain. I walked 15 miles in Las Vegas about a month ago and had no pain with my feet afterwards. I am in love. Just bought another pair and have recommended them to everyone I know!

I love these shoes! Third pair of Altra's I've had and I love them all! They are wide, lightweight, zero-drop, and sooo comfortable!! The only thing I would request is that the shoe strings be a bit longer!! I have danced in these shoes for literally hours as an outdoor entertainer!! They keep me balanced on uneven terrain!!

Love the Torin plush, it is the only shoe I can wear that does not hurt my feet. I have ankle and feet problems this shoe makes it possible for me to walk farther and stand longer. This also keeps my lower back from aching as much. Also it is so light weight. I will keep buying this shoe

I tried on several pairs of running shoes at a local shop. I needed a wide toe box due to a bunion on my right foot. The sales person suggested the Torin 4.5 and they were perfect. I don't run but am on my feet all day and these have made such a difference! I LOVE them! Comfortable, perfect in size and width! The only issue is the fact that I wanted another pair and the store didn't have any then they informed me they weren't making the original model I purchased. The new version is also out of stock! Please hurry and restock!!

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

I am a hospital nurse on my feet for hours and hours a day. I have bilateral mortons neuromas and have had surgical removal of one on one side. I have tried ALL the shoes and these are the ONLY ones that I can wear and still walk/work/hike in. (Though one of the Allegria slip on shoes I do wear around the house as I havent been able to walk barefoot for 3 years). They are by far the BEST BEST BEST! I highly recommend.

I went to the running store and had my foot sized to know exactly the size I need, it was the best thing I ever did. I had bad foot pain and blisters all the time from being on my feet 60 plus hrs a week on concrete, I have high arches and tried every type of shoe out there and spent hundreds of dollars to find the perfect shoe. My feet also used to be extremely hit. One day at work a coworker told me about the shoe and the store to go n get fitted, because most people think they know their size but actually getting fitted is key. After my fitting and trying them on I bought 2 pairs that day, my feet have never been happier!!! No blisters, no hot feet and more productive at work! She also reminded me socks also play key in comfort and the absolutely do. I will never buy another brand of shoe! Thank you soo much.

Best ever - 2nd pair - really great!! Just had major foot surgery & these are exactly what I need.
Once I’m completely healed ... (no pun) ... will only wear these.

This is a roomy shoe. Wide enough on the sides and a wide toe box. Plenty of cushioning. My new favorite. So comfortable for walking.

Fit perfectly (I find Altras always run short), extremely comfortable, good colors. This is my first pair of Torins - I usually buy Escalante. Same first but cushier.

Walking is much easier now that I've switched to the Torin 4.5. I've had some issues with the toe box of shoes not being wide enough. Got these on a Monday, wore on vacation for a week following and came back without any sore spots! Awesome!

I love these shoes! I'm usually a Brooks person, but lately I have found myself needing something different. I have a high instep and high arches. The comfort level is unreal. The shoe has so much "bounce," and leaves a lot of room for foot movement within the shoe. For reference, I tried a pair of OnCloud shoes for a week and the shoe was SO tight and had virtually no room for movement within the shoe that I actually had all of my toes go numb while wearing them. These shoes are not overly-plush, so it makes me think that they'll last a while before wearing out. I am a huge Altra fan because of these shoes. I can literally wear them all day with no discomfort. Keep it up!

I find that Altra’s run small so I get a half size larger. The shoes are good looking and extremely comfortable. They feel almost like bedroom slippers with support. I am a big Altra fan and have bought four pairs of Escalantes over the years. They are great but the Torin is cushier and provides more support.

Teva Sandler. New Balance are ok but Altras are my favorite.
