Torin 9
Torin 9 is a neutral, zero-drop road shoe for daily runs and walking. Against Torin 8, its stack is lower, while P35X dual-density foam pairs a firmer exterior with a softer interior for balanced cushioning and stability. Vibram XS DURA improves grip and durability over its predecessor. A reshaped heel, raised tongue, breathable mesh upper, and Standard FootShape fit refine step-in comfort and natural toe movement.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- The adopted men's weight is 9.8 oz / 269g from the exact Altra US product page. Altra Japan's 228g line is not adopted because its product URL and size run present the women's product.
- Plate note
- The exact Altra Japan and US construction and technology specifications contain no carbon structure, so this model is classified as not carbon-plated.
