▷ How to measure your feet (video)
Size chart:
Measure your feet (with your heel against a wall, up to your longest toe). Add 1-1.5 cm for extra room inside the shoes and follow the size information in the size chart.
Example: Your foot measurement is 27.7 cm. Choose size 44.5 and you will have 1.1 cm extra.
These shoes are checked and measured by us at Widetoes.

Feel on foot:
Wow – what comfort! These shoes are incredibly comfortable! They feel slightly roomier than other models from Altra. Lina, who usually wears size 37.5 in Altra, wears size 37 in these – so you can probably go down half a size compared with your other Altra models. (The sizing is fairly similar to the Escalante Racer.) The sole has really good cushioning – it feels responsive and energetic, not too soft. You still get good ground contact, which many runners appreciate, especially if they are used to a barefoot-style feel. Torin 8 is a perfect choice for runners looking for comfort, performance and a natural feel in every stride.
