Our Verdict

Altra Torin 7

ASICS GEL-KAYANO 31

The Altra Torin 7 and the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 31 are both daily trainers emphasizing stability, catering to runners seeking support during their runs. The GEL-KAYANO 31 offers even higher stability, featuring a wider base at the arch. However, this comes with added weight, making the GEL-KAYANO 31 heavier than the Torin 7. Another key difference is the heel-to-toe drop: the ASICS features a high drop, whereas the Altra offers a zero-drop platform.
