Why We Like The Torin 4.5 Plush Running Shoe

Designed for our high-mileage days, the Altra Torin 4.5 Plush Running Shoe is back again, lighter and sleeker than ever before. Resting on the same midsole and outsole as the Torin 4, the 4.5 features redesigned knit uppers and has shaved over an ounce of its total weight. We love that they still feature a zero drop, in addition to a wide toe box—the signature elements of Altra shoes. This design encourages a low-impact run and a natural stride and toe splay which provides you with happy joints and muscles for a more comfortable and natural ride.

Please bring back!

I have owned 4 pairs of these shoes. I recently had to try a new pair and m unable to find something comparable. Unfortunately I do not like the 5 or 6. I went with the Olympus 4.0 and it still is not great. Will have to try a new brand and hope for something better. Not willing to spend 200 on a pair of shoes that aren't comfortable.

Love my FIRST pair!

Purchased at a race expo and walked in them ALL day prior to a marathon. I took a big risk and wore them for the marathon the next morning. They were so comfy!!! No blisters, no pain -- love the lightweight and all over cushioning. Great experience with my first Altra pair! Thank you!

BEST SHOES EVER!

I use these every day all day long -- so far for about 8 months. The cushioning is SO PLUSH! The toe box is wide, which is great! And the tongue on the shoe is thin and soft. THE PERFECT SHOE! I have metatarsal issues and plantar fasciitis, and these shoes have really helped that. It was so bad before that I couldn't walk for months, the custom orthotics didn't work either. But my ortho surgeon recommended these, AND THEY ARE GREAT!!!!

No

In a way this shoe felt very different from its sister the Torin 4.0. I'm a nurse and spend 12 hours in a pair of shoes per shift. 1. With it being a plush shoe, I noticed that my feet started to hurt and feel fatigued. 2. I'm not sure what Altra changed in regards to who produces their products. But my Torin 4.0 sizing fit very different to the Torin 4.5. I ordered my regular size and it felt too small. Ordered a half size up and the shoe felt too big! So I gave them a chance and the shoe was a deal breaker after my feet hurt. I feel that you shouldn't have to "Break in" a running shoe. It should be comfortable day one. 3. I decided I wanted a more minimal shoe so I went with the Escalante instead. This style didn't hurt my feet. However, I still feel like the sizing needs to improve. Please change whoever is producing your shoes. The sizing is poor!

Love the wide toe box

Love these! Hate the newer model because it is too narrow in the toe box. I'm loookg at other brands Bessie sadly altra decided to narrow the toe box in all its shoes. Very sad! Please bring the torin 4 or 4.5 plush back with wide toe box

These shoes are like bedroom slippers!

I love these shoes! Third pair of Altra's I've had and I love them all! They are wide, lightweight, zero-drop, and sooo comfortable!! The only thing I would request is that the shoe strings be a bit longer!! I have danced in these shoes for literally hours as an outdoor entertainer!! They keep me balanced on uneven terrain!!

OMG -- These are INCREDIBLE!!!!

These are the best shoes. I have planters fasciitis and these are the only shoes I can wear for hours and hours at a time, miles and miles of walking with no pain. I walked 15 miles in Las Vegas about a month ago and had no pain with my feet afterwards. I am in love. Just bought another pair and have recommended them to everyone I know!

Love this shoe

Love the Torin plush, it is the only shoe I can wear that does not hurt my feet. I have ankle and feet problems this shoe makes it possible for me to walk farther and stand longer. This also keeps my lower back from aching as much. Also it is so light weight. I will keep buying this shoe

yes

I got Torin because sometimes I want a little more cushioning than I get with Escalate. I love them. They are super comfy and work well with my narrow feet. For me they are pavement or easy trail shoes. Not enough traction for rough terrain. I have 4 different Altra shoes, and the 0 drop works for me every time.

The Best Shoe I've Ever Had On My Feet!

I tried on several pairs of running shoes at a local shop. I needed a wide toe box due to a bunion on my right foot. The sales person suggested the Torin 4.5 and they were perfect. I don't run but am on my feet all day and these have made such a difference! I LOVE them! Comfortable, perfect in size and width! The only issue is the fact that I wanted another pair and the store didn't have any then they informed me they weren't making the original model I purchased. The new version is also out of stock! Please hurry and restock!!
