Altra Experience Flow 2 vs Torin 8

The Altra Torin 8 and Altra Experience Flow 2 are, respectively, the older sibling who took up the family business and the younger one who tried to make its own way, but is still undeniably the same family. The Torin 8 carries Altra's signature zero-drop platform and a relatively minimalist upper with no gusseting that is typical of the brand's other shoes. The Experience Flow 2 breaks the mold and introduces a 4 mm heel-to-drop, with a semi-gusseted tongue that helps secure the foot and helps make the ride of the Experience Flow 2 more stable, despite having those few extra millimeters of stack under the heel. The Experience Flow 2 is also lighter, and its EGO PWR foam is a touch softer than the Torin 8's EGO Max midsole.
