Altra Torin 5 - New Color 2022
.
You Need to Know!!!
- The Torin and Torin Plush models have been combined into one, making it easier to remember and understand the shoe's character. Therefore, there is now only the "Torin 5".
- The new midsole no longer uses Quantic and has switched to the EGO MAX midsole, which provides a soft, smooth, and deep feel.
- The forefoot remains comfortable and spacious as before.

After the Torin family of shoes was renowned and famous for its softness and positioned as the "King of marathon" but not long after, the Escalante model line was discontinued and a new model, the Rivera, was born. This time, the Rivera was positioned as a "Fast Marathon" shoe. This raised the question: would there be overlap between the Torin and Rivera within the brand? And finally, the day has arrived. Altra has released the Torin to roam free, and it comes with the slogan: "Comfort Marathon"
.
If that's the case, it's quite clear that the Torin 5 focuses solely on softness, while the Rivera focuses on speed. However, both have the same range: the marathon distance.

Upper
BREATHABLE ENGINEERED MESH UPPER It is a mesh fabric that is highly breathable, lightweight, and has a non-rough texture that is friendly to runners' feet. It also provides good flexibility while running. It dries relatively quickly when wet or in the rain because, as mentioned above, the upper is thin, allowing it to dry faster. This time, the tongue is thin, which may cause friction around the front of the ankle for those who wear ankle socks or socks that sit below the ankle.

Midsole
EGO™ MAX After the previous model used Quantic, this time the Torin 5 has chosen a new one with a new name, the EGO™ MAX midsole, which clearly separates its character to focus solely on softness. This avoids internal brand conflict and makes it easier for fellow runners to distinguish between Altra's foam types. The feel of wearing the Torin 5 with EGO™ MAX must be described as soft, smooth, and deep, and it is truly an unforgettable feeling. It is just the right amount of softness—not only is it fun to run in, but it is also fun and comfortable on the feet for everyday wear. It is another foam that leaves a very impressive impression when worn.
.
NRS – NATURAL RIDE SYSTEM Of course, if it's Altra, it will definitely have this technology. This technology helps runners with wide forefeet wear running shoes comfortably and comfortably on their feet. With the FootShape™ design, the forefoot has a shape that follows the natural shape of the human foot, so the shoe is not too narrow or squeezes the foot too much.

Outsole
FOOTPOD helps the outsole flex to accommodate the sole of the foot, including the bones and tendons. It increases movement efficiency and allows for more independent foot placement when running. From trying it and many people who have tried Altra before, you will know that the shoes can flex well. You can easily bend the shoe by flexing it. This flexibility makes it easier to run and gives you more freedom in your running form.
.
The added rubber also makes the sole of the Altra Torin 5 highly durable. From testing, it can run comfortably on wet roads without slipping. It really holds up.
Feel after using the Altra Torin 5
During the first half of 2021, I must say that the Altra Torin 5 is a memorable and highly desirable support running shoe. With the EGO™ MAX midsole, which provides an incredibly appealing feel, it is comfortable to run in and works well for walking. And with the wide forefoot design, our feet are free and not cramped or squeezed at all. It is very enjoyable to run in. I give it a big thumbs up. If you need a support running shoe with a wide forefoot, these Altra Torin 5 shoes are the ones.
