Engineered Mesh Upper Designed to provide complete comfort, the upper of the Altra Torin 5 Luxe Running Shoes have been constructed using a breathable mesh. That’s one thing I like on the original Torin 4, and I felt like I had a lot more side-to-side wiggle room in it. The Torin 5 will have a midsole similar to what we have seen in those shoes but slightly more elevated.

The Eva utilises the force from your last step to power you into your next one, resulting in reduced fatigue and no loss of momentum. Also, just to make it super clear this is the only Torin shoe available this year, they are no longer selling the Torin Plush.If you have had a good experience with your old shoes and have stayed injury free then you might, understandably, be reluctant to change brand or model. After this, it compresses and then more shock is being put through the body and this can lead to muscle fatigue and injuries. Increased heel collar padding provides a more focused, locked-in fit and feel while the new Altra EGO™ MAX foam brings premium performance with a little extra bounce. The Balanced Cushioning Platform places your heel and forefoot at the same height to promote low-impact strides, and the Innerflex groves enhance flexibility to boost performance.

These design updates offer an improved fit for your foot with our updated, sock-like upper material and added elastic throughout. It is advisable to pop to your local running specialist and try on a few different brands, on the treadmill if possible, to get a feel for the shoes. It seems to me that it was marketed as a lifestyle shoe, though I see many comments about people running in them.

Altra EGO MAX Midsole The Torin 5 Luxe features an ultra-lightweight and springy Altra Ego Max midsole. We found the sizing to be a bit on the small size in comparison to other Altra models so try a half a size larger than you would normally purchase in Altra shoes. Altra Torin 5 Luxe Women's Running Shoes Constructed with new Altra EGO MAX foam, the Torin 5 Luxe provides plush comfort you can count on for miles and miles, so you're always ready to go from everyday training to marathons and more. The toe box is still nice and broad and roughly equivalent to a 2E in other brands, but does have as much width through the midfoot or volume (height) in the toe box as shoes made on Altra’s ‘original’ roomiest last.
