Women's Altra Torin 6

Very comfortable, overall great running shoe.

I have bursitis in my heel that required a boot for a couple of recovery weeks. Returning to running after the pain subsided, I learned that my feet had grown and my previous shoes were too small triggering my bursitis. Seeking relief and new shoes I tried a couple and landed on the Altra Torin 6. I stuck with this pair because they are light weight, don’t trigger my bursitis, plus they don’t look orthopedic. I’ve only worn them in about 6-8 short runs and 3 mid-long runs. Overall, I think they are good for building back my endurance- they don’t trigger pain during my runs but I still have increasing pain through out the day after a run - especially if I continue to wear them through out the day. I will likely change my shoe for any distance or race training because after about 2-3 miles when my feet are warm and the shoe builds up heat- I can feel the shape of the sole (a center split divot) edges press uncomfortably into my feet when ever I strike the grown. It’s early in the wear process, however, the sole pressure is not preferable.
