Reliability Meets Innovation in Altra’s Updated Zero-Drop Daily Trainer
Altra is well-known for its consistency and unique, barefoot-style running shoe designs. The newest iteration of the brand’s daily trainer, the Torin 9, incorporates all of the brand’s signature reliable features. From the wide toe box to the balanced, zero-drop design, the Torin 9 delivers a classic grounded Altra ride.
However, when you take a closer look at the newest Torin, you’ll find that Altra blends these signature elements with new, innovative design choices to deliver the most comfortable and dependable iteration of the Torin yet.
The Torin 9 debuts a brand new foam, a dual-density P35X midsole cushioning that’s firm and stable on the outside and soft on the inside. This innovative new foam provides a well-balanced ride that delivers soft landings without sacrificing groundfeel and stability.
The Vibram XS Run AW outsole is another brand-new standout feature. This high-coverage outsole offers maximum grip and durability, making the Torin 9 an incredibly versatile running shoe option. Whether you’re hitting the road, gym, or even light trails, this model will keep you secure through every step.
Finally, these features are all tied together with a soft and breathable mesh upper. This mesh provides immediate step-in comfort, and the elevated tongue design and heel shape keep you comfortable from the first to the last step of your workout. This new upper design creates a lightweight, streamlined feel that any runner, walker, or gym rat can appreciate.
