Altra Women's Torin 1.5 Running Shoe
Altra Women's Torin 1.5 Running Shoe
Run protected, increase performance and improve your running technique without sacrificing any cushioning with the Torin 1.5, our highly cushioned neutral training shoe. The Foot-Shaped™ toe box and Zero Drop™ platform work together to help you run the way you were born to with relaxed feet, more power, and better technique. Blended EVA/A-Bound™ cushioning protect your feet from hard surfaces across long distances and various terrain. For this update, we didn’t want to mess with a good thing, so we simply revamped the upper to improve the fit at the heel and forefoot while making the shoe a touch more stable.
Women’s feet are anatomically different than men’s feet, featuring a narrower heel and midfoot, higher instep, longer arch and unique metatarsal spacing. The Torin 1.5 has been molded around the unique shape of a female foot to ensure proper fit.
Traditional running shoes feature pointy toe boxes that squeeze the toes out of their natural position—increasing risk of bunions, hammertoes and plantar fasciitis. The Torin 1.5’s Foot-Shaped™ toe box allows the toes to relax and spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position. This enhances stability and creates a powerful toe-off to maximize running performance.
The Torin 1.5 features a highly cushioned Zero Dropâ„¢ platform that places the heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground. This natural balance aligns the feet, back and body posture for less impact. It also strengthens the Achilles and lower calf muscles that have been weakened over a lifetime of running on elevated heels.
Made of recycled materials, this unique layer sits directly under the foot to reduce the impact of hard surfaces and return energy return into each stride. It’s literally a layer of bouncy ball between the road and your feet!
