Asics Metaspeed Sky vs Altra Torin 5

You'Re going to notice, it has kind of diagonal lines, and what that does is you can have very thin open mesh in one part and then a little bit of a s...

I purchased these for running and have put about 20-30 miles on them. They're comfortable under and around the foot. Good support, nice wide toe box. Good laces and upper

Positives and drawback positive is the upper, the breathability, it's like hot, you know, I'm thinking like Chicago. Chicago can often be fairly warm....

I love the wide toe box on these and they are comfortable, but they are falling apart. The upper is separating from the sole in 3 places (2 places on 1 shoe and 1 on the other), the mesh is significantly fraying on both shoes, and there are parts of the sole that are coming apart in the front and back of both shoes. To look at these shoes you would think I’ve worn them 12 hours a day on tough trails for over a year. I would not purchase these shoes again

Anything more than that and it's a no go. You'd be all right for a few miles but I think if you wanted to wear these for a half marathon or marathon r...

That said, this shoe is light, and exactly the fit I have come to expect from an Altra shoe. If you love Altras, you will have a hard time finding fault in the weight and fit of this shoe. I just wish that made the tongue more of a mesh material.

5 sizes up in. I think the performance differences between these shoes will pale in comparison to the difference you'll feel from what fits best.

Saucony's Triumph 19 is great, too, though still 8mm drop and a bit heavier. If you're comfortable with zero drop, Altra's Torin 5 is a great cushion-to-weight ratio long run cruiser, but make sure you size up as they run a bit short.

perfect size, very light, shape of outsole seems to push you forward, very happy for now.

The top of the tongue isn’t padded. It’s quite sharp, and it cut into my skin (literally) after a few miles. Kind of a weird design oversight. Probably not a problem if you run in taller socks, but I prefer the short ones
