Hoka Carbon X2 vs Altra Torin 5

Long runs? I have more cushioned, comfortable options. Speed days? Not a chance! I wanted to like these a lot more than I did. As far as carbon racers go, I definitely recommend the Rocket X over these for just about every kind of run.

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.

So at least it did not gain weight, all right, so good job hoka and yes, there is my score on the screen. Not the best, okay and i'll come back to the...

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

Ultimately, I sent these back as I found the US 10s too large for me. I found them very chunky walking around the house.

I have two pairs of trail running shoes a pair of hiking boots and then these. They are extremely light and comfortable. If you are looking for a pair of zero drop running shoes with a wide tow box, these should be your go-to. They probably wont last as long as some other brands just due to the materials, but they are the perfect value at price vs quality

I wouldn't have gone to size up. I think i quite like the narrow um fit and, like i say up front um you've got a lot of kind of space there for your k...

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.

8 ounces, so to explain what it was like to run in the carbon x2 today, i think it might be helpful to kind of compare it to the carbon x version, one...

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
