Wet roads don't usually mix well with a natural, zero-drop platform, but the Torin 9 GTX Running Shoe holds onto that platform even with a GORE-TEX waterproof upper built in. The zero-drop, Standard FootShape fit stays exactly as roomy and secure as the non-waterproof version, so the shoe doesn't ask for a trade-off between staying dry and moving naturally. A new Vibram XS DURA outsole grips slick pavement, and a P35X dual-density midsole keeps the ride stable underfoot without going stiff in cold or wet conditions. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I got caught in a downpour halfway through a run and kept going without thinking twice, because my feet stayed dry and the shoe never stopped moving the way I expect a zero-drop shoe to move. That grip on the new outsole is what got me through the last slick mile home."
