This shoe has helped my heel. On my feet 10/12 hours a day
On concrete. Restaurant work but these are not slip resistant.
Will not buy again for work. I have to really be careful
Walking around wet floors.
I have to wear to work because of 160.00 plus I have for them.
Was really disappointed about the sloping around on wet floor.

The last leather Altra shoes I had had been discontinued and I missed them. I can wear these shoes everywhere. They're lightweight and comfortable, but surprisingly they don't keep my feet warm.

I received this shoe 2 days ago and I thought maybe it was mismarked. The shoe is small, too short and too narrow. I even went up a half size. I will have to send back

This shoe is all over as far as sizing. I originally ordered the 11W. It was definitely wide but the length was perfect. I reordered a second pair in Wide and one in Med width. BOTH were too short after the first pair I ordered in 11W was actually slightly too long that I considered ordering a 10.5. Back both pair go. I ended up ordering the Torin 5 Luxe. Same thing with sizing. For over 50 years I've worn a size 11M in ALL shoes "cross the board." I reordered an 11M. TOO SHORT. I don't like my toes feeling like they're rubbing. I reordered an 11.5. Finally, a good fit. But really 11.5M. I'm not thrilled about this new age development with sizing. Big nuisance to order, try on and return to try another size. AND, even the same size doesn't always fit the same !!! Can you footwear companies at least be consistent with sizing ?? I've ALWAYS worn an 11, NOT an 11.5. In fact, until VERY recently, there was no such thing as 11.5 in a women's shoe. That seems odd. Ya think ?? Anyway, I'll keep wearing Altra as long as I can find shoes that fit CORRECTLY. They really are the best shoes for my personal foot health.

I have many pairs of Altras and they should stick to running & walking shoes. These are NOT built for the restaurant industry. Tried filing a claim twice and each time it said "something went wrong"

this shoe feels great, but the soul of the shoes is already tearing up and I haven't even had it a month

I tried to wear for new restaurant job, but was slipping and was a hazard. Cheap restaurant shoes were safer after that even though they hurt my feet. Please consider upgrading the slip resistance of the shoes so restaurant people can benefit from these shoes. Thanks.

I love the comfort and style of this shoe and was planning on buying another in a different color but the shoe hasn't worn well at all. They are only 4 months old and toe of the shoe is losing its color and sheen and the entire shoe looks generally worn out. For this price point it wasn't worth it.

Really wish this shoe was OIL SLIP RESISTANT!!!!! There's a huge difference between water and oil. I wish there was a comfortable shoe like Altra with a restaurant suitable sole. I'll have to look elsewhere.

I have been wearing these for my daily walk since I purchased them a few months ago. The fit is good and they are comfortable but not for walking. If you are like me with moderate hip and knee arthritis, these aren’t for you. They have so much spring with each step that each step is a jolt that soon becomes painful. This is also bad because it makes me feel unstable. They are just too ‘springy’ to be comfortable walking on sidewalks for me! They are too soft and spring-y to provide the stability that I need. They might be ideal for lots of standing though.

I purchased these for work where non slip is a must. These are not non slip. I had to use a special no slip spray on the bottom to keep from sliding about. They were great for about a month and then started falling apart: the sole is now hanging in pieces. It's a shame because the wide toe box is a dream for my high arches and bad hip.

Bought these because I had a pair of hiking boots from Altra and hiked 80 miles in them and had no problems. So I purchased these shoes for my work since I had such a great experience with the hiking boots. These are not comfortable and the soles are not made for restaurant floors or surface that is wet I was working outside for an event and the area was slightly wet I slid numerous times on the surface. Now the sole is coming away from the shoe at the toe area.
Really wanted these too work, but I will have to stick with my Hoka's for my job

I don't think it's a bad shoe it might work for someone else. My feet hurt really bad. They were not comfortable to me like altras have been to me in the past. Also it said slip resistant. I work in a fast food restaurant and I was slipping all over the place. So where I work it doesn't really work. I like altra but the version of work shoe I tried didnt work.

I echo Lucy's comments. I would live in this shoe if I could buy the women's Torin Leather in wide sizes (9 for me) again. When will those be in stock again?? Like Lucy, I keep checking.
As I look through all the styles for women, it sure looks like you are phasing the wide sizes outthere are so few in any of the styles. Please pay attention to the needs and requests of your loyal customers. We need those wide shoes! And we will buy them!

I bought these for work our floors are dangerously slippery specially when water is spilled but these shoes do not work as anti slip when you step on wet floors besides that they are comfortable but unfortunately not safe

I bought a pair of these last July and fell in love with them - comfy, well fitting, could walk for hours and hours. I just bought a replacement pair and they feel too small and are flimsy

The shoe is too short. It does not sit right on the foot. I do like the fact that it's leather too bad the fit is so bad.
