Brilliant Shoe. Took Me a While to Catch Up.
6 days ago
The Altra Torin 9 is an exceptionally comfortable, thoughtfully engineered running shoe, although I initially questioned whether the engineers had been entirely sober when designing the lacing system. There’s an unusual gap in the lacing arrangement that struck me as either a manufacturing defect or a spectacularly misguided design decision. I spent an embarrassing amount of time examining it, adjusting the laces, and questioning the judgment of everyone involved. Then came my epiphany: it wasn’t a bug. It was a feature. Once I understood how the system worked, I discovered just how easily I could fine-tune the fit. Suddenly, the very thing I’d been criticizing became one of my favorite aspects of the shoe. Apparently, the engineers knew what they were doing. Imagine that.
Beyond my self-inflicted lacing drama, the Torin 9 is terrific. The spacious toe box gives my toes room to spread naturally, while the midfoot and heel remain comfortably secure. The dual-density P35X cushioning delivers a wonderfully balanced combination of softness, stability, and responsiveness, without the mushy sensation that sometimes accompanies heavily cushioned running shoes. I’m particularly impressed with the Vibram XS DURA outsole, which provides excellent traction and looks substantially more durable than the relatively featureless soles found on many road-running shoes. The zero-drop platform feels natural underfoot, and the overall construction is outstanding. The Torin 9 has earned its place alongside my FWD Via 2 and Experience Wild 3+ in my three-shoe Altra rotation. Five stars for the shoes, and perhaps three for the fellow who initially couldn’t figure out how to lace them.

Nice shoes for zero drop fans
8 days ago
I bought these mostly for some light road running, where I appreciate the zero drop and perfect amount of cushion. I find them to be very responsive without being overly aggressive or snappy, which is my preference. I love the Vibram outsole which provides awesome traction when things get a little slippery. They do, by design, run narrower in the toe box than my all-time favorites, the Lone Peaks, but not so much that they are uncomfortable. Most of my runs/hikes or on trail, but when I do get out on the pavement these are my go-to's.

Disappointing Changes
10 days ago
The Torin 9 is a big departure from the Torin 8 (I owned 7 pairs of 8's). The Torin 9's lack of Heel structure, poor shoelace execution, toe box design, and unstable foot bed is disappointing. There seems to be a lack of structure in the shoe both in the upper and lower. For reference I am 6',2", 260lbs, and a 14 wide. It made me sad. I ended up ordering 4 pairs of Torin 8's as back up until I can figure out a new shoe to lock into.
I took me a long time to find a shoe as good as the Torin 8, bummed to be on the search again.

I expected more..
14 days ago
I've used the Torin 5 and 7 before and I think the Torin continues to have some issues, though the 9s have some good upgrades to. The vibram outsole is of course a nice touch. It makes the shoe work well in many types of terrain. I think the heel collar is much better than the last few versions. It's just soft and padded, and not too stiff. The new midsole is good, but there's nothing really special about it in my opinion, though I like that they went down to 28mm stack again. The problem I have with these shoes is the upper. It is way too tight across the top of my foot. it's ot too narrow (though I wouldn't say no to a little more width), it's just too tight, and it rubs against the top of my forefoot and takes away the comfort I look for in an Altra shoe. And I don't have a really high volume foot, so I suppose others could experience the same feeling. I have seen other reviewers comment on the same thing as well. The tongue is also very weird. To me the structure of the tongue feels a bit like a piece of wet cardboard, which bends and folds when I tighten the laces. I find this very disapointing because Altra have a lot of other shoes with perfectly fine, padded tongues, but the Torins always seem to have some issues with it. In every new Torin the tongue is updated, but it is never good. For me the concept of the Altra Torin is the ultimate daily trainer, so I really hope to see some of these continuing issues with the Torin get better in future versions.

Not what I expected from Torin
14 days ago
I've been wearing Torin shoes for over 4 years. Since the Torin 6 I've had each edition. I run in them everyday and have loved them all. I recently ordered the Torin 9 hoping it would continue. Unfortunately I found the support to be lacking and the shoe to be very small compared to the 8. I can barely lace it up and would likely have to go a full size larger to fit in the height, but that would make the length too long.
I'm so disappointed that I recently order a few pairs of the Torin 8 to get me through until their next redesign.

Torin 9 not quite as great as Torin 8
14 days ago
I bought a pair of Torin 8's last year and absolutely loved them! I put over 650 KM on them. I bought a pair of Torin 9's Last month and am a little disappointed. First the laces are too short since I always use the last hole - I had to go out and buy longer laces. And I hate the leather lace loops. It makes lacing up a 2 or 3 step process.
I have to agree with a couple of other reviews here that they feel tighter in the toe box than the Torin 8, although they are the same size (8. 5).
The slightly softer sole feels good but not necessary as the Torin 8 was perfect for me. This is my 5th pair of Altra shoes and all around Altra is the best for me.

Pop Ups A-plenty

I wanted to shop your website, but I kept being interrupted by multiple pop-ups, including this review page.
Better luck next time, I guess.

the tongue is horrible !
19 days ago
I have 3 pairs of the Torin 8 's . Tongue is extremely comfortable . It doesn't move around or crunch up . Torin 8's slide right on . I slid the new Torin 9's on and immediately as I started tiring shoe laces tongue starts crunching up . Took me a lot of adjusting trying to tie shoes without felling the crunched up tongue . I really wanted to love these shoes . Torrin 8's slide on and tie effortlessly !
