A Balanced, Wide Toe-Box Shoe Ready to Take On Any Weather Condition
The Altra Torin 9 has become a go-to for walkers, runners, gym-goers, and anyone else looking for a comfortable blend of natural, barefoot-inspired stability and soft cushioning. The GTX version of the Torin 9 maintains this balance, comfort, and stability, all while providing extra protection against the elements.
Like the standard Torin 9, the Torin 9 GTX features a new foam, a dual-density P35X midsole that’s firm and stable on the outside and soft on the inside. This innovative cushioning provides a well-balanced ride that delivers soft landings without sacrificing groundfeel and stability.
The new Vibram XS Run AW rubber outsole is another highlight. This outsole design is around 20% grippier than the Torin 8. Whether you’re running on wet pavement, picking up the pace on the track, or even traversing light trails or dirt paths, this Vibram outsole will keep you safe and grounded with every stride.
And now, if you’re on wet or muddy terrain, you can enjoy even more protection thanks to the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper. The stretchy GTX upper design makes the shoe completely waterproof, keeping you dry and comfortable no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. This updated upper is also paired with a new heel shape and elevated tongue details, securely wrapping your feet while optimizing comfort with every step.
Last but not least, while the Torin 9 GTX offers some innovative new features, you can also find all the classic, established elements Altra is best known for. A roomy FootShape toe box enhances natural toe movement and splay, and the balanced, 0-drop design keeps you aligned for a natural and comfortable running experience.
