Customer Reviews Altra Torin 3.5

I walk 3 miles on asphalt and loose dirt every day with my German Shep dogs and love the foot shape of the toe box and how my toes aren't getting crunched anymore, i used to wear nike, never again.

Awesome shoes. I used the run in Brooke's all the time and now I'm obsessed with these. I've had an ACL repair & stress fracture in my lumbar region so running has become difficult as I excel to longer distances and faster times. These shoes have minimized the amount of pressure I feel in my back & knees while I'm running. I'm 23 years old and can say I won't run in another shoe ever again.

On my 3rd pair of this exact shoe. LOVE the Torins! I like these slightly better then the Torin knits because they seem to have a little more structure. Wore these in a 62k race on crushed gravel and they held up great!

This version of the Torin is my favorite Altra road shoe since the old Intuition/Instinct 2.0. The new mesh upper is snug and secure, while still leaving enough room in the toe box for my toes to spread out. My feet don't slide around in these like they did in previous versions of the Torin. The lacing pattern is interesting, but after using it for awhile, I like it. The sole is soft and flexible, just what I expect from a high cushioned Altra shoe.

I was excited to see Altra offering colors other than pink, purple, baby blue, or even worse, a combination of these colors. Now onto fit...Most shoes leave me crying on the side of the road in the fetal position because of how uncomfortable they are. These shoes provide plenty of support and extra toe space for people with hobbit feet like me. These shoes make me feel like the runner version of Michael Phelps. Thank you Altra!

I ordered up a half size based on other comments and that worked for me. Love the squishy outsoles but wish there was better arch support inside. As others have mentioned the lacing system is odd and makes it hard to get the shoe on. The lacing tabs act like locks, preventing the tongue from opening enough. I finally abandoned those tabs, but then the laces were too long. Now I'm using some elastic laces.

I have Mortons Neuroma in my feet and I work in retail with many long hours. With these shoes, I feel like I'm walking on a cloud. The open toe box and zero drop is essential for my comfort. I bought a half size bigger than what I normally wear and it's a perfect fit. Highly recommended if you are on your feet all day!!! I wear them until they are worn out. Lol Will continue to purchase these great Torino 3.5 Women's Altra shoes. I got the gray/black ones this past Christmas. You won't be disappointed!!

These shoes are light weight, very cushy and breath! My feet are very small, so finding shoes that aren't too long, is a huge challenge, and becoming a REAL problem! Thank you Altra for going a bit small on this style! I don't usually even look at shoes size 5.5, because they are too big most of the time. These 5.5 are a tiny bit too big and a tad too wide. But easily fixed in my usual way, by adding a thicker or extra inserts in the shoes. I haven't had the 3.5 Torins long enough to say how well they hold up. I can say I'm still wearing 1 of my pairs of Torin 2.5 almost every day. They don't have any holes or failing seams. The soles are worn down to just about no tread and they aren't as cushy as they used to be, which was why I got new ones! Now I can retire the old ones and enjoy my new Torins!

I have really bad knees and haven't been able to find anything that is comfortable for me to run in. I was having trouble with my knees after running 15mi or so a week. Found these and my life has changed. Once you go Altra, you can't go back! Slowly moving the rest of my sneakers to these. Will buy every edition, I am on my second!

I wear these walking and running, other cardio workouts, outside and inside. On the trail and playing b-ball too. These shoes saved my feet. I've been suffering forever from plantar fasciitis and coming off a fusion surgery to correct a bunion in January. It's been a painful year of recovery until I found these babies. I also wear these to work and for everyday. Only negative thing I have to say about them is that they seem to be made of material that can wear down pretty quick , especially if you do a lot of road running. But these are so perfectly squishy and supportive at the same time, my plantar fasciitis pain no longer exists. Thank you Altra

These sneakers gave me my life back. I have always been a walker but once I developed neuroma, I couldn't walk due to the pain. I tried every sneaker imaginable, including wide widths, but nothing worked. I got cortisone shots and orthodics, all to no avail. Now that I have these sneakers, I am able to walk miles without pain! I am so happy; over the past two years I gained 40 lbs thanks to my neuroma but now that I have these sneakers, I am back to walking and taking off the lbs. I am so happy and so grateful to this company. Thank you for giving me my life back!! I will buy a couple more pair to make sure that I always have them. They are worth every dollar!!!

After well over 500 miles on my old Torins I decided to upgrade. I've never been happier. These new torins are super responsive, the new heel fit is incredible, and the extra cushioning is so perfect for those long run days. Went with the Black option and have had several compliments already. Love them!

These were comfortable and required no break in and the uppers have been fairly durable. My only small gripe is with the durability of the midsole. I'm a heavier gal and I put a TON of miles on my shoes so I generally only expect them to last about 3 months anyway, however these started losing cushion in 2 months. While they were supporting me I loved them, but at almost exactly 2 months I started noticing the characteristic knee and shin pain that always tells me my midsole is starting to compress. Not quite as long as I'd have liked to get out of them, but I'm still happy.

I started wearing the intuition 2 and loved the feel of the goofy looking shoes, then I was not impressed with the intuition 3 so I tried the Torin 2.5 and was pretty happy , then tried the 3 and it was sized smaller and narrower. I in the end have Altras all over. But I tried the white Torin 3.5 and aside from the fact that they absorbed the muddy water I ended up walking thru ( turned a brown off white color) they are the best fitting of all of them on my weird bony feet. I have no issues with my bunions or my plantar fasciitis. The only negative I can say is the softer material on the outside toe portion of the sole, it wears out faster than the rest of the sole. I bought the last two pairs after the sizes started selling out so my first pair are my normal 9.5 and the last 2 are 10s. When I first got the 9.5 I did think they were running small but didn't cause my toes to be irritated in any way but the 10s are just a smidge bigger and fit just fine. I wear them every where and only walk no running. But they are life savers for me. I usually wait till the shoes are on sale because of the price but I have bought them at full price when needed. I was having all sort of foot problems before these shoes. I am very happy. Still would love for them to bring back the intuition 2 style, got used to looking at my toddler clown feet.
