Altra Torin 5 Luxe Running Shoes

Product Information

Innerflex grid-like grooves in the midsole allow your foot to flex while being super light for impressive speed.

I was contemplating about doing a few runs in them later on as an introduction to 0 drop running, hence the question.The Torin 5 would be the road shoe equivalent to the popular trail shoe the Lone Peak 6, although not quite as roomy. We are experiencing a high volume of traffic at the moment, please bear with us whilst we load your page. The 5 weighs about 9 ounces which is really light for a max cushion shoe—especially compared to some of the other stuff we have on the wall in that same max cushion family.

It will be a great shoe for somebody looking for an Altra shoe to do shorter, faster miles but can also start training for long-distance runs. The breathable mesh upper boosts air circulation to prevent perspiration, while the spacious Foot Shape Toe Box improves stability. If there isn’t enough room for the foot to breathe then it will cause friction against the inside of the shoe and eventually lead to blisters.

In my opinion, it is not necessarily an update to the Torin 4; for me, it is closer to the Torin Plush 4. This spreading allows your foot to absorb the shock, stabilise you and spring you into your next step. Our signature FootShape™ comfort gives your feet more space to sit naturally and is designed to address biological differences in men´s and women´s feet.

By having more space allows the foot to relax and spread out, working to reduce over-pronation, enhance stability and creating a far more powerful toe-off. A neutral shoe makes up roughly 80% of available running shoes and have the same level of cushioning in the heel and the forefoot making it suitable for a large section of runners.

The textile / synthetic mix upper provides breathable wear that keeps feet cool whilst Altra’s signature FootShape toe box construction ensures toes spread naturally for optimal control. The Altra Torin 5 Luxe Womens Running Shoes are engineered to provide plush comfort mile after mile and feature an enhanced heel collar for a locked-in feel.

Micro perforations allow air to flow throughout the construction to reduce uncomfortable heat build-up; this creates a perfect micro-climate for your feet to thrive in.

If the upper has split near the toe box you might want to consider going up a half a size or in some cases, change the width of your shoes.Again, this is their more classic wide round toe box if you compare it to the new Rivera, which I think is nice and wide; it doesn’t quite have the same width looking like this is the standard version of this shoe. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. The Zero Drop and broad rounded toe box are a huge benefit and I strongly believe giving your feet the room to function is important in reducing the chance of injuries and allows your feet and lower legs to get stronger the more you run. The womens Altra Torin 5 Luxe takes all the benefits of a Zero Drop and FootShape Toe Box Torin 5 road running shoe and adds a more casual, high quality finish to create an incredibly versatile casual shoe or combination of run/casual. The Torin 5 Luxe sneakers from Altra are constructed using their own proven FootShape comfort technology to take you effortlessly through everyday life.
