Altra Torin 7
The best zero-drop shoe — foot-shaped toe box and balanced cushioning for natural running form.
Our Review
The Altra Torin 7 is for runners who believe in letting their feet move naturally. Its zero-drop platform places your heel and forefoot at the same height, encouraging a natural midfoot strike. The foot-shaped FootShape toe box lets your toes spread fully for better balance and power. Altra EGO midsole foam provides moderate cushioning without interfering with ground feel. If you want to run the way your body was designed to, the Torin 7 is the gateway.
