Altra Torin 8: Zero-Drop Comfort for Everyday Miles

Whether you're racking up high-mileage weeks, walking city streets, or standing on your feet all day, the Altra Torin 8 is built to keep you moving in natural, cushioned comfort. Featuring a zero-drop platform, roomy toe box, and plush ride, this premium daily trainer delivers the hallmark Altra experience — now even softer and more refined.

At the heart of the Torin 8 is an updated EGO™ MAX midsole, reformulated to be lighter and airier than before. This new version adds extra softness underfoot while still retaining the structure and durability runners need for consistent daily use. With a balanced stack height of 30mm, it delivers ample protection for longer efforts without feeling disconnected from the road.

The engineered jacquard mesh upper is light, breathable, and built for all-day wear, now enhanced with a new molded heel collar and cup for a more secure fit. Meanwhile, the full rubber outsole features plentiful flex grooves, supporting smooth transitions and allowing your foot to move naturally through each stride.

As a core member of Altra’s road lineup, the Torin 8 sits between the ultra-plush VIA Olympus and the more minimal Experience Flow, making it the ideal option for neutral runners seeking a cushioned ride that preserves proper foot alignment and natural biomechanics.

Best For

• Runners looking for a well-cushioned, zero-drop daily trainer

• Anyone seeking a comfortable, foot-shaped fit for long runs, walks, or all-day wear
