Altra Torin 3.5Knit

When we introduce running shoes, we often talk about the difference between a certain shoe. Most running shoes on the market will adopt a design with a heel higher than the forefoot. For example, the 8 mm, 10 mm drop design is the most common, and today is everyone. Introducing the Altra Torin 3.5 Knit running shoes, it is particularly distinctive, the design concept of zero drop across the brand's shoes.

Upper

Altra has achieved good reputation in the American cross-country running market for many years. Natural products have their own unique features. The two most prominent technologies are FootShape and Zerodrop. FootShape means foot-fitting technology, which means that the toes are There is more room for exercise; Zerodrop is the difference between the forefoot and the heel. These two characteristics also make Altra's running shoes significantly different from other brands in appearance and outsole design.

The first time you touch this Altra Torin 3.5 Knit running shoe, you will find that the upper is obviously different from the traditional running shoes. The wider shoe last gives the shoe a strong appearance recognition, even if you look from a distance, you can recognize it at a glance, FootShape This wide boring head design removes the appearance, and more is the difference in the space design of the shoe, so that the front end of the foot is no longer subject to the squeeze and restraint brought by the traditional pointed running shoes. The toes can naturally stretch while running, the big toes remain in a natural straight state, the grounding is more stable, and the toes can work better mens jordans.

The Knit suffix of the Torin 3.5 is mainly reflected in the difference in the upper technology. The whole body of the shoe is made of all the knitted mesh surface. The whole body of the shoe is reduced as much as possible, and the obvious supporting material is eliminated. The touch is very soft, but we have not found the location of the reflective strip throughout the body, and hope that the next generation of products can be improved.

Midsole

Altra Torin 3.5 Knit's midsole technology is relatively simple, using its own A-Bound shock-absorbing midsole, the overall soft and flexible, but different from the common running shoes rely on the midsole material to absorb the shock, Altra first absorbs the impact force when the feet are landing by A-Bound damping material, and then adjusts the landing mode by the sole design of the zero drop, and coordinates together to achieve the shock absorption effect. Let's talk about the specific performance later. how is it.

Outsole

The outsole design of this shoe is also very distinctive. Just like the wide sense of the wide last, the Altra Torin 3.5 Knit's outsole and toe design are exactly the same, completely simulating the design of the human foot structure. And even the distribution of the toes can be felt.

Performance

In this Torin 3.5 Knit we did not see the use of new materials in the midsole, but we still focus on the performance of the bottom, after the foot will obviously feel the difference between the design and the traditional running shoes, the difference is It means that the front and rear palms of the running shoe sole are consistent with the height of the ground. For runners accustomed to wearing other brands of running shoes, wearing this running shoe needs a little adjustment to adapt. Common running shoes are designed with heels higher than the forefoot, meaning that when landing, they will get used to the heel landing, and this Torin 3.5 Knit is as high as the heel. After wearing it, the center of gravity will be more forward. Unconsciously, it will change to the way the middle forefoot falls, which helps to cultivate the correct running posture. For the calf muscle group and The utilization rate of the sputum area will increase significantly. If the previous heel landing method is used, it will feel that the cushioning is insufficient. However, if the middle anterior palm is changed, the cushioning feeling is just right, but the running speed will be corresponding. The improvement, this change in running posture may be the most want to convey this runner to the runner.

Of course, except for the different feelings brought by the zero drop, the wider hoe is quite unexpected for the small piece after the foot. We specially took out the insole for everyone to show that the forefoot design of the insole is obviously different from the common running shoes. It is completely natural toe stretch. It is different from the widened shoe lasts we often mention. It is not wide in the instep and arch position, and the focus is only on the forefoot position. The moment of force will be obvious, the toes can be fully stretched in the space inside the shoe. This feeling is hard to imagine on the usual running shoes. It must be said that this FootShape design is really full of features.

Of course, the details of the Altra Torin 3.5 Knit running shoes that have been found in the experience need to be improved, such as the coverage area of ​​the forefoot outsole wear layer should be increased, and there is no reflective design when running at night. Finally, we need to remind everyone that after changing to the middle forefoot method, the demand for calf muscles has increased significantly, which is also a new attempt to experience different running methods.
