Men's | Altra Paradigm 8
New and improved! The updated version of this product is now available.
Features
The Altra Paradigm 7 gives you maximum cushion and support for every mile.
Altra reformulated its EGO™ MAX midsole material to make it softer and lighter than ever before. The Paradigm has Altra’s signature Balanced Cushioning that has the same stack height in the heel and forefoot (or 0 mm heel to toe drop) to give you a natural stride.
Altra’s GuideRails™ provide stability and support only when you need it, like when your legs are toast during the late stages of a run. The upper also has a lacing system that provides support and structure for your feet.
A plush collar and tongue provide premium comfort and a fantastic fit. The engineered mesh upper gives you plenty of breathability, while the wider toe box allows your toes to wiggle and gives you more stability.
Whether you are walking for your health or running to relieve stress, the Altra Paradigm 7 provides the stability and cushion you crave.

First pair of Altras
Giving the Paradigm 7's a try after not running much for the last year. I (60M) got some great advice from the awesome Fleet Feet rep in the Appleton, WI store a couple of months ago. She suggested that a big toe box might be more comfortable for a guy my age (with beat up feet) and that the zero drop has worked for others, so I ordered the Altras. The arrived quickly (on my birthday) and so far, so good. I thought they'd be a little cushier but I don't need pillows for my easy 3 - 4 milers.

Great Fit and Comfort
Altra toe box geometry in the wide/2E width with the Paradigm design beat out other brands with 2E/4E widths for fit and comfort. These are a great compliment to my Torin 8 wides.

Weird sizing
The toe box is too wide while the arch is too narrow.
