ALTRASneaker Men's AL0A547F Torin 5 Road Running Shoe, Maroon-9.5 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!

Was road running in the Torin 4.5 Plush and just moved to these. Seem firmer and less bouncy. Everything fits except the toe box height seems a little less (less stretchy?). Tow box length and width are okay just slightly more pressure on my big toe, but not a deal breaker. The tongue is the same/similar to the one on the Timp 4 which I use on trails. While different from the Torin 4.5 Plush I have no problems with the tongue. I do prefer the more cushioned feel in the Torin 4.5 Plush and Timp 4 though. Good shoe for my needs, but not great.

Would’ve kept it if the seller would’ve advertised as used. Yes. It’s not new. It has gravel. Shoe laces worn and re inserts. The packing alone tells you it is a used pair. Definitely not satisfied with my experience with the seller or the packaging.
