ALTRA Sneaker Men's AL0A547F Torin 5 Road Running Shoe, Maroon-11 M US, Maroon, 9.5

I got these on Prime Days for a good deal and I'm happy with them. So far did two runs - 5 mile and 10 mile with no problems- I'll update the review if I have anything to add.I love the Altra fit with the wide toe box, and my heal locks in fine without needing to over-tighten the laces. I tend toward more minimalist shoes, and these Torins have more squishy cushion than I normally prefer, but they do feel neutral and comfortable under my feet, and the uppers are also very plush and comfortable. I was surprised that despite the higher stack height and soft cushioning, they allow for good ground feel on trails even if they mute the road a little more than necessary. The only thing I don't like is the tongue is thin and stiff and the top edge pokes right into my top-foot/lower-shin, so I need to be sure to wear socks tall enough to protect my skin in that area. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.Anyway, I think they're a good buy at the current clearance prices if you like low drop, wide-toe, medium cushion, plush-feeling shoes so long as you wear socks to keep that tongue from biting you. Maybe you could also cut that edge oof or somehow soften it or glue felt to it or something if you like very low socks or no socks.Oh yeah- I wear size 9 or 9.5 in most shoes and these I need the 9.5.Enjoy!

I have been wanting to try Altra shoes for a while now. The zero drop have always been intriguing. I transitioned to a 5mm shoe to slowly step into 0mm of Altra. If you’re considering, I would recommend just make the move as you will notice the zero drop no matter what. I was pretty surprised how much you notice it when running. I am going to buy another pair, one for everyday wear and one specifically for running. Everyday wear, you really don’t notice the zero drop much. Love it!I really like the toe box as well. My feet definitely have the room they need and not feel pinched or cramped like some other brands. Very comfortable shoes!

I’ve been wearing Altra shoes for at least 12 years if not more. Way back when you used to have to order from a catalog and then their website…. But now that Vanity Fair bought them out, they just don’t last as long as they used to. VF bought them out in 2018, they own Vans, North Face, Dickies, SmartWool, Wrangler, and several other shoe companies and other clothing companies. I have owned all the original Altra shoes although I wear a 10 and every other shoe Altras have always been a half size bigger so a 10 1/2 for me. No complaint there. My only complaint is that now the toebox is not as wide as they used to be and I personally think that is for aesthetic reasons. The materials used don’t seem to last long and hold up under trail running and hiking conditions as the older shoes used to. I have had at least 30 pair or more and the original lone Peak shoes would last quite some time. The new Altra shoes are now the same as Hoka One Ones, they just don’t hold up as well as they used to.What do I see that has changed? For starters the cushioning, it does not last as long as expected when paying $130 or more for a pair of running trail running and hiking shoes. The beloved toebox has gotten slightly narrower. The tread does not last as long, especially the more aggressive tread. the lugs tend to break off or just plain wear out. I still love Altras I will continue wearing them however, I wish the days are old, where construction and wearability were top notch! But that’s the price of progress specially, when I conglomerate like VF owns what used to be a cottage industry shoe.

These are the Torin 5. I like them. I couldn't run in the Torin 6. It hurt my feet. Glad I found these.

When new I use these as my primary running shoe and after they get some wear they are my knock around shoes.

- Refer to image, Olympus 4 is ~12cm in width & Torin 5 is ~10cm in width.- Both shoes are Mens US 9.- Length of both shoes are similar. My feet is 26.5cm for reference.- I have bunions and wear a big toe separator. Olympus 4 fits comfortably but Torin 5 is too narrow.- The sole of Olympus 4 is wider and my feet rest fully on the sole, whereas Torin 5 has a slimmer sole and my small toe is not resting on the sole. Also, my small toe is pressed against my 4th toe. So, toe spread is not as natural as Olympus 4.- Olympus 4 has more cushion than Torin 5.- Olympus 4 wider base makes it more stable in comparison to Torin 5.BUT with that said,- Do not purchase Olympus 4 if you're planning to wear it on tiles, city, road, drainage cover when the floor is wet or moist. I've nearly fallen a few times wearing the Olympus 4 while working in a clinic. The sole of the Olympus 4 is very slippery on wet tiles. Hence, I wanted to try out the Torin 5 that has a different sole.

Great long distance trainer. Must wear taller socks as the tongue rubs. I've run marathon distances in their previous iteration of the model.

Assuming you wear decently thick socks the shoe is fairly comfortable. The top of the tongue is covered by heavy (kind of sharp edged) material that is very stiff and would dig into your skin (other reviewers have mentioned cuts they suffered from after wearing for a run). I tested these walking around the house with socks that went above my ankle and it didn't bother me (as of yet). I did try it on with shorter socks and I definitely understand how people have ended up being cut by the edge of the tongue.I'm very perplexed as to why a shoe designer would create a shoe with such an obvious flaw. One of the main reasons I love my older Altra Escalantes is the nice soft tongue and the zero drop which is wonderful for those who don't want a heel in their running or walking shoe.It does appear the material is water resistant or water repellant (although the rest of the shoe is not). It does seem airier (more breathable) than my former Escalantes and is also lighter weight. The shoe provides some rigid support at the heel and ankle and also at the front toe box.I am a fan of zero drop shoes with cushioning as I do most of my walking/running on city streets and the cushioning makes for comfortable strides.For those looking for sizing the 10 wide is EU size 44 UK size 9 .. although it fits more like a EU43 I think

Each opinion is subjective , we all know this . Yes , there is a real issue with the tong , nothing short of design and implementation flaw .. but with a sock if should not bather you and if you like thicker socks , you could try a half size bigger shoe . Running smaller - I would not say that. The previous models run a bit lager and this is just perfect fit for me . Because of the tong being to short and made out of material that is not soft enough I am taking away one star. Fixing the tong would make this shoe perfect ! All have also Escalante and Lone Peak as well and all of them are exactly what I needed .

Bought these after owning both the Olympus and Lone Peaks. They're just as good as those other shoes, but are definitely smaller - if you've worn either of those other pairs before, go up a size with these!Other than that, these are great shoes (though I do miss the pull loop on the back of the Olympus!) - bought them for indoor use (gym, standing desk, etc).

Habe ihn 1/2 Nummer größer bestellt, zuerst war er zu klein.Sitzt als ob ich ihn schon ewig getragen hätte.

Ich war viele Jahr nicht mehr Joggen da mir nach kurzen laufen meine Kniee geschmerzt haben. Habe das Schuhmodell von einem Freund empfohlen bekommen.Nach den ersten Test bin ich nun sehr zufrieden. Die Schuhe sind sehr bequem und bieten vor allem im vorderen Schuhbereich viel Platz für breite Füße.Die Sohle dämpft sehr gut, sodass ich nun auch keine Schmerzen mehr in Knie nach dem Joggen haben.
