Love the Torrent
2nd pair of Torrents. Light trail shoe with plenty of cushioning and traction for all trail types. Also works well even on grid roads and in the snow. First pair lasted well past 600 miles. Fit true to size.

I hiked 400 kms on the Chemin St Jacques from Le Puy this summer in my Hoka Speedgoat 4 including tune-ups. I have also been using them at home. I appreciate the padding and they have held up well. But I did feel they were a bit high — almost like hiking in platform shoes (I grew up in the 70s). So after some positive reviews I decided to try these. They are more like regular trail runners. Grip is good. Overall they seem like solid shoes (I will try to update this after a few hundred kilometers if Alttude allows it). They fit well although they are a bit tight in the toes, especially with toe socks (not like Altras of course), but I think they do fine with regular socks. I don’t find the footbed quite as comfortable as my Inov-8 290s. I might wish for a rockplate. But overall I think they are a solid trail runner, and as the price of shoes skyrocket I think I got a good value.
Great quality shoes! The Hoka shoes I tried on before did not accommodate orthotics well. These ones are spot on. I ordered a size mens 7.5, which was recommended by the web site. However they ended up being a half size too big. I am going to return these and get a smaller size. Overall, great comfort and quality.
Ordered half size bigger. I really like the cushion, but toe box and middle foot are narrow for me. My outside toes can feel the squish. Had to return it.
Ces souliers de sport sont très confdortable.
I bought 3 pairs of Torrent running shoes so far, very comfortable for daily walking & light hiking, good looking too.
These are perfect pair of shoes, as I suspected it even before buying. Very light and yet they maintain a firmness and high-level of stability on the ground. Your ankles are in good hands ... It provides confidence for moving relatively fast in an assured way.
This shoe is well padded, nimble, and very grippy. They are excellent on very technical trails and the cushioning helps a lot with foot fatigue on longer runs (25K+). I find they fit TTS and fit well for people who have wide feet.
Bought these in my normal size 10.5 and they fit true to size. I previously had the Salomon Sense Ride 2 which I wore a lot but are just too firm and narrow, and the Pegasus Trail v1, which I destroyed this past winter. I'm loving the Torrent 2. They're my first pair of Hokas and I'm a fan. Love the rocker and find these plush compared to the Salomon's. Fit is great but they're a tad narrow in the toe box, hence the 4 stars. That's my only knock. Other than that I love them and definitely enjoy running in them.
My 3rd pair. Love these.
