GURU TIP:  Reformulated Altra EGO™ MAX  foam!

TECH TIP: Altra’s flagship premium daily trainer is ten happy toes down on zero-drop goodness. With 30mm of Altra EGO™ MAX  foam under your entire foot, this is a balanced shoe ready for just about any task. Hardcore Altra fans are likely to feel at right home in the Torin 8, and newcomers may be in for a well-balanced treat with this update. Similar to the Torin 7 with a few refinements that would make your barefoot ancestors sing– Improved on-foot feel, new upper, and tuned fit in the heel. Slightly on the firmer side and low enough stack to give you some ground feedback, the Torin 8 is ready to soak up some miles and time on feet.

BUY THIS SHOE IF… You want a trusty, cushioned, yet primal experience (without having to step on rocks and sticks like the cavemen)

DON’T BUY THIS SHOE IF... you’re currently battling Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or have strained calves.
