Review on πŸ‘Ÿ ALTRA Women's Torin 5 Luxe Road Running Shoe - AL0A5485 by David Garnic

New Terrible Torin Tongue πŸ‘Ž

I've been an avid Altra user for years. I especially liked Thorin. The new Torin 5 and Torin 5 Luxe have great sole/foot padding, but the tongue is like a razor blade. The regular Torin 5 cuts my knuckles like nothing else. The Luxe tongue looks softer but has an upper that hits higher yet is tough enough to slice you. I hope Altra goes back to the languages that have worked for years. Before that, I switched to Escalantes to do sprint work and fuel for distances. Although commission is not zero like Thorins….

Pros
  • Stay Comfortable: Paired with our FootShape toe box, Torin Luxe also features the brand new Altra EGO Max midsole foam, luxurious and lightweight
Cons
  • Modern
