Zero Drop, Plenty of Cushion

The men's Torin 9 is Altra's everyday road shoe for runners who like a level platform, with the heel and forefoot at the same height. It has a 28mm stack, a roomy toe box that lets your toes spread, and enough cushion for most daily miles.

For version 9, Altra introduced P35X, a two-density foam that's firmer around the edges and softer in the center, and switched to Vibram XS DURA rubber underfoot. Altra lists it at 9.8 oz with a reshaped heel and a breathable mesh upper.

The Technology

P35X Midsole
Two foams in one: a firmer outer edge for steadiness and a softer core for comfort.

Vibram XS DURA Outsole
Hard-wearing rubber with good grip on pavement.

Standard FootShape Fit
Room for the toes to spread, with a secure hold through the midfoot.

Mesh Upper and Updated Heel
A breathable upper with a reshaped heel for an easy step-in.

Who This Shoe Is For
