How it ranks
The Altra Torin 7 ranks below most daily trainers in our data. Comfort and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Durability scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 27 runner reviews and 10 other rated shoes in the Torin product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Not durable at all. Upper was very fragile and frayed easily with only two months of training.

45 mpw training for 5K and 10K came from the Altra Timp 2

I love that Altras have the foot shape and zero drop. Switching to Altra has helped alleviate my plantaris fasciitis. I run in Altra and I also recently started running in Topo Athletics.

My plantar fascia really appreciate these shoes. A slight improvement would be more tread for muddy/icy trail runs. I have added sheet metal screws to an old pair to cover this problem.

The Torin is back! Finally Altra has returned to the function and cushion of the Torin 4. It’s almost better.
