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.

Width is different from Olympus 4. Altra has made their shoes slimmer.
4 Stars
Width is different from Olympus 4. Altra has made their shoes slimmer.
- Refer to image, Olympus 4 is ~12cm in width & Torin 5 is ~10cm in width.- Both shoes are Mens US 9.- Length of both shoes are similar. My feet is 26.5cm for reference.- I have bunions and wear a big toe separator. Olympus 4 fits comfortably but Torin 5 is too narrow.- The sole of Olympus 4 is wider and my feet rest fully on the sole, whereas Torin 5 has a slimmer sole and my small toe is not resting on the sole. Also, my small toe is pressed against my 4th toe. So, toe spread is not as natural as Olympus 4.- Olympus 4 has more cushion than Torin 5.- Olympus 4 wider base makes it more stable in comparison to Torin 5.BUT with that said,- Do not purchase Olympus 4 if you're planning to wear it on tiles, city, road, drainage cover when the floor is wet or moist. I've nearly fallen a few times wearing the Olympus 4 while working in a clinic. The sole of the Olympus 4 is very slippery on wet tiles. Hence, I wanted to try out the Torin 5 that has a different sole.

5.0 out of 5 stars Soles fall apart after less than 2 months.
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023
Soles have came apart on these shoes, they have been replaced once. I purchased then October 2022 then those were replaced on Dec 24, 2022 and now the replacements are coming apart. I have had my torin 4.5 for years and even though they are worn out they haven’t came apart. I hope that these are authentic Altra shoes.
