Our Verdict

Altra Torin 7

Brooks Glycerin Max

The Altra Torin 7 and the Brooks Glycerin Max are both reliable daily trainers designed for runners who prioritize consistency over energy return. The Glycerin Max offers a plush, max-cushioned experience with its substantial stack height ideal for long runs and recovery days. In contrast, the Torin 7 emphasizes stability through its lower stack height and zero-drop platform, promoting a natural foot strike.
