ALTRA Men's Torin 9 GTX Road Running Shoe

GORE-TEX Invisible Fit: The primary feature of the GTX model is a waterproof membrane bonded directly to the upper. This provides durable protection from rain and wind while maintaining a lightweight, flexible feel similar to the non-waterproof version. Vibram Outsole: A significant update for the Torin 9 series is the transition to a Vibram outsole. This provides "all-weather grip" and enhanced traction on slick road surfaces compared to previous standard rubber outsoles. New Midsole Foam Technology: Expected to feature a next-generation foam (potentially an evolution of EGO MAX) designed to be lighter and more responsive than the version used in the Torin 8. Balanced Cushioning (Zero Drop): A hallmark feature that places the heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground to encourage a low-impact landing and better alignment. FootShape Toe Box: Designed with Altra's "Standard" fit to allow toes to spread naturally for better stability and comfort, while maintaining a secure midfoot lockdown.
