AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are mixed about the comfort of the shoes. Some mention that they are super comfortable and easy to break in, while others say that they might feel uncomfortable on their bare leg. The box is adequate and they have not experienced any uncomfortable friction from the tongue, but some say that it just chews up their leg and irritates even through socks. The tongue is stiff and will cut into you, so you'll need to cut it away first.

I love the Altra fit with the wide toe box, and my heal locks in fine without needing to over-tighten the laces. I tend toward more minimalist shoes, and these Torins have more squishy cushion than I normally prefer, but they do feel neutral and comfortable under my feet, and the uppers are also very plush and comfortable. I was surprised that despite the higher stack height and soft cushioning, they allow for good ground feel on trails even if they mute the road a little more than necessary. The only thing I don't like is the tongue is thin and stiff and the top edge pokes right into my top-foot/lower-shin, so I need to be sure to wear socks tall enough to protect my skin in that area. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
Anyway, I think they're a good buy at the current clearance prices if you like low drop, wide-toe, medium cushion, plush-feeling shoes so long as you wear socks to keep that tongue from biting you. Maybe you could also cut that edge oof or somehow soften it or glue felt to it or something if you like very low socks or no socks.
Oh yeah- I wear size 9 or 9.5 in most shoes and these I need the 9.5.
Enjoy!
Prior to purchasing the Torin 5's, I was a serial Torin 4.5 user. The most comfortable running shoe I've ever owned. Tons of support, tons of cushion. I learned how to be a medial/front foot striker runner in these babies.
What I loved even more about the 4.5s was the fact that they didn't lose their utility once the cushion/shoe life cycle ended. I'd use my old 4.5's as house work shoes or transition shoes when I needed to wear cleats as a referee but wanted a comfy, roomy shoe in between games.
The 5's are lightweight, provide a ton of support, and are overall a good shoe. They run smaller than the 4.5's (a nightmare for any runner who establishes a comfort level with a particular model), they run narrower than the 4.5's, and they are firmer/stiffer than the malleable 4.5s. I'm not sure why so many major changes occurred in one shoe model, but it was utterly disappointing.
I have run about 50 miles in my 5's and know that I'm stuck with them, now. I'm either going to have to find a different ALTRA model to run in, now that they have destroyed this line, or start shopping the alternate market for old, unused 4.5s.
Count me as disappointed.

Fallen wie bei meinen Treckingschuhen von Altra auch eine halbe bis eine Größe zu klein aus. Hab beide eine halbe Größe grösser bestellt und passt perfekt.
Other than that, these are great shoes (though I do miss the pull loop on the back of the Olympus!) - bought them for indoor use (gym, standing desk, etc).
