Altra has launched its latest editions of the popular Torin 8 and Torin 8 GTX, designed for everyday runners and veterans with many miles under their soles.
These new models continue Altra’s legacy of comfort, performance, and zero-drop innovation. The Torin is Altra’s best-selling road running shoe. Runners praise it for everyday workouts and casual runs to intense training and marathons.
“Runners deserve shoes that can keep up with their ambitions and the demands of any condition,” said Alex Lind, Product Director at Altra. “With the Torin 8, our product team focused on elevating what runners have loved about previous versions while refining key elements for an even better ride.
“We prioritized all-day comfort, enhancing our signature underfoot fit and updating the EgoMax midsole compound to be softer and more flexible than ever before. The result is a smoother, more responsive experience that stays true to the Torin legacy while pushing it forward.”
