Looks are the last thing I usually judge a shoe on, but to be completely honest, I thought the Altra Torrin 8 was a pretty fugly shoe when I first saw it. This is partly, perhaps, because the bright sole on the black & orange version I have been testing really accentuates the deep stack and makes the shoe look a bit boxy – to be fair, some of the other colorways are much more handsome, especially the white & blue iteration, which is very cool-looking.
