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.
