Customer Reviews Altra Torin 4

These fit perfect! They are very light weight. I can go on long runs without feet hurting

These were the winners in my long, long search after foot surgery. They will accommodate my custom orthotics. They are built with space for the toes and lots of cushion, plus they didn't put any pressure on the sensitive parts of my feet. I live in these now. Wish they came in better colors. I typically wear a 7.5-8 wide and I took a 7.5 in these, but if an 8 were available when I needed them I would have probably gone up a size. I love Altras and I always order from Zappos now (not Altra) because the shipping and returns are so easy! (Not at all the case with Altra direct.)

These shoe were exactly what I was looking for. A zero drop for walking/jogging. I wear a size 8, bought a size 8 and they fit perfect. I have normal feet. Real nice cushion and an ample toe box. NOTE: these are zero drop from heel to toe which is what I look for in a high mileage shoe. Glad I found Altra.

My saga to find a good athletic shoe for mostly walking has lasted more than a year now, but I'm optimistic the Torin 4 will solve it for awhile. I've had 4 pairs of Altra's over 3 years. All had some good points and I used 2 of the pairs until they wore out. But none of those 3 were PERFECT. I then switched to a pair of Xero minimalist shoes, thinking that might resolve some issues I had but instead, it made things worse. So, I read a bunch of reviews and went back to Altra. I've been walking 2-4 miles a day in these Torin 4s for about a week now. They feel great on the bottoms of my feet - the cushioning is just what I needed. The toe box is also great - I have just barely wide feet - sometimes I need the W size and sometimes I don't depending on the shoe and the toe box accommodates my foot well. No issues in the heel - my foot stays put. The one issue I had with all my other pairs of Altras is that they don't fit identically on each foot: something rubs on one that doesn't on the other, or there is a weird lump or dip in one insole that isn't in the other. So far, the arch on my right foot is a little sore after a long walk compared to my left, but I'm not ready to say it's the Altras just yet - I think it might be a nagging pain leftover from the minimalist pair. So I guess this is a cautiously optimistic thumbs up for these shoes. They definitely solved my primary issues and hopefully won't introduce others.

Love these! My new running shoe. These are replacing my Nike Pegasus 35s. I had 800 miles on my 35s, ordered a pair of 36s and didn’t like them. I tried a a few other Nikes and several Altras. I have very narrow feet and these still fit fine. Like others have said about zero drop, my legs are sore after running in them for the first few times, but I will adjust. Because I like them so much, I have ordered another pair.

If you have foot discomfort, this is the shoe for you. They are very roomy in the toe box with good cushioning, and are very lightweight. They may feel a bit strange when you first try Altra sneakers, but, in my experience, they are the only sneaker I can wear and have comfortable feet all day. I recommend them totally. I have also purchased Altra hiking boots in the past, and they too are my favorites because of the comfort and support.
