I gave Altra ROAD SHOES a second chance… Here’s what happened | Altra Torin 8 first run review

Altra Torin 8 review - first run and first impressions. It’s been a while since I’ve tested a road running shoe from Altra. The last time was two years ago with the VIA Olympus—a highly cushioned model that, unfortunately, didn’t quite work for me. The stiff midsole left me with foot pain, and that experience put me off Altra’s road shoes for a while.

But I’m all about second chances.

In today’s video, I’m lacing up the Altra Torin 8, a lightweight, neutral, zero-drop daily trainer, to see how it performs. I’ll cover key updates, specs, and features before heading out for a first test run to find out if this new version changes my mind.

If you’re curious about how the Altra Torin 8 feels on the run, or you’re considering it as your next road running shoe, this first impressions review is for you!

Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!
