Summary
The Altra Torin 8 is a versatile road running shoe that exemplifies Altra's signature balanced cushioning and foot-shaped toe box design. It is part of Altra's lineup of neutral shoes specifically tailored for runners who seek comfort and support during longer runs on paved surfaces. Compared to other models in Altra's lineup, the Torin 8 offers a plush, cushioned ride with a higher stack height, making it ideal for those prioritizing comfort over terrain versatility. It is more cushioned than the Altra Escalante, which is designed for speed and responsiveness, but less rugged than the trail-specific Altra Lone Peak. The Torin 8 is perfect for runners desiring a combination of support and softness suitable for daily training and road races.
