How it ranks
The Altra Torin 1.5’s rating is an early estimate. We’ve collected 6 runner reviews so far, with brand history also informing the score.
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 is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
78 Moderate

“The zero drop has helped resolve ankle issues and improved my running form.”
“The zero drop and wide toe box have helped.”
“I can no longer wear narrow shoes.”
