Love the wide toe box. Needed after 2 foot surgeries. Fabric against heels ripped apart after a few weeks. Mesh is now ripping after a few months. Wish these shoes lasted longer! This is my second pair of altras that have fallen apart in a few months.

This shoe was cute and had more cushioning than my Altra Escalante. It felt good in the toe box and heel. I would have kept the shoe, except the tongue cut into my foot. It is too long and too stiff. Instead of being soft like the Escalante, it is firm and reinforced with extra stitching (definitely not needed). The only way to avoid it cutting into my foot was to wear a thicker sock, and I don't allow my shoes to dictate what socks I wear. It was immediately returned!!

I wear these for work. They are very comfortable. However, the bottom layer of the sole started peeling off after a few weeks. Would not buy again. Also wish they came in better colors.

I LOVED altra until this new stiff tongue started invading their shoes. I loved my old luxe but this new pair does not feel nearly as luxe. The stiff tongue hurts and the rest feels cheap.

The tongue on these shoes is very long and thick, and it pokes into the front of my leg well above the place where my foot meets my leg. I can't imagine putting up with this discomfort, so I am sending them back. Very disappointed.

I love the shoes from Altra. My feet feel great in them. The last two pairs I have gotten the soles have started to come apart though after a month of use. Normally I would be doing 3 miles of walking a day in them lately it's been less so for the sole to start coming after in less than a month for the HIGH price is ridiculous. The logo in the shoe was gone in a week. Means the quality and production of it have gone down but the price went up. Guess I'll be finding some good glue to fix this pair and my other pair.

Very comfortable fit, good cushioning and grateful for wide toe box. Soles began to come apart after one week of wear.

Please bring back the 4. The tongue on the 5 is awful. Everything about this shoe feels boxy and stiff. This shoe is fine for walking but I had to scour the internet to find a pair of Torin 4's to do my daily run. Please, just bring back the previous design! This one is terrible!

Why do they keep changing the design of perfect shoes? The new Torin 5 Luxe is comfortable enough, but not as cushy feeling as the 4.5 . What is with the padded tounge?! I noticed other people mention this too. It isn't a deal breaker for me, because I can fold it over or move it aside where it doesn't bother me. But what were they thinking? If I used these for running instead of walking, the shoe's tounge would hurt. I also compared these to the new Paradigm shoe, which has the "Max" cushioning level. The Torin has the "High" cushioning level. But the new version of the Torin is definitely more cushy-feeling than the new version of the Paradigm, which is a heavy-feeling shoe.

Really liked the cushioning on these, and the way they let my toes spread out while keeping snug on my heel. But the tongue is hard and pokes into my leg, and the laces are really hard to open! Will try another style from Altra.

For the price, this shoe wears out way too quickly. I am sad because I have no idea what sneaker to buy because this shoe works for me other than the pricepoint for how long it lasts. Disappointing

I have worn torins for years. I really wanted these to be a comfort ride like 2-4.5 were. These are . Okay I've ran in them and they were ok for low mileage days I worked several 12 hour hospital shifts in them and they were just okay for that too . The toe box is still wide on this model, the heel has a good grip without being constricting. I just wish the footbed had more cushion to negate those 12 hour shifts. It's not at all a bad shoe.( they worked on that pesky tongue ) it's just not what will get me through work it's a solid 5 mile run shoe for runs.

Walking and at work. The tongue is too rough and irritates the top of my foot. The left sole is pealing away after less than 1 month

My husband ordered these for me after I had been battling a bad flare up of plantar fasciitis. I've only worn them maybe 5 times because they make my foot hurt worse and even bought plantar fasciitis inserts for them to see if that would help any. I'm just really disappointed because they are pretty pricey only to not be able to wear them. This was my first time every buying this brand and I'll probably not buy again. Returned to my go-to Brooks.

I totally agree with a previous reviewer. Loved my Torin 4.5. I too, hesitated to order the new version based on the "tongue" reviews. Again, I agree with the reviewer. The Luxe tongue is still too long and the shoe is slightly short. My feet measure 10.5, I always order size 11, and too short. Sadly, these are getting returned.

I really wanted to like this shoe and probably would have if not for the long sharp tongue that cut into my ankle. It is sewn funny and has a plastic label on top making it stiff. Saw this in other reviews but tried them anyway. Should have known better. Now I am hesitant to try another style. Oh well.

I bought these for marathon training & ran a 16mile run right out of the box. I wore my no show socks & the tongue rubbed my ankles so much I was bleeding! Seriously, did a runner test these? Get quarter socks if you buy these. Honestly, what is the purpose of such an enormous tongue???

I have only worn my shoes a hand full of times and the sole is coming apart! The support email does nothing for response, sent a couple emails with no recognition! For the price of these shoes its unfortunate there isn't more support! Gave a couple stars as they are comfortable for the amount of time I've used them, they just don't last.

I wear these shoes to the gym and in everyday use. I feel the quality of the shoe has gone down, The sole of the shoe has started to come apart after only 3 months. The cushion of the insole is not as good as in the past torin 4 and 4.5.
