Why We Like The Altra Paradigm 7 Shoe
Altra's Paradigm 7 Shoe gives us the touch of support we need at the end of our long runs. Outfitted with medial GuideRail technology, this pair nudges our feet back in line when fatigue starts to make them pronate too much, and the generous stack of ultralight foam keeps our strikes soft no matter how heavy our strides start to feel. Despite the max stack of foam and stabilizing tech, the platform still feels flexy underfoot thanks to the grooved midsole smoothing our ride.

Paradigm is back!
After running in the Torins and getting injured, like a fool I researched after. Knowing I need supporting shoes, I bought the Paradigm 5s and absolutely loved them. Once they wore out I bout the the 6s the foam was too soft and not supportive like the 5s. The 6s were also not responsive like the 5s. I took a gamble on the 7s because I heard they were firmer and they are way better than the 6s. People that started on the 6 probably won't like that, but people who started before the 6s and went to Paradigm for support will love them compared to the 6s.

Almost perfect, quality issues
The zero drop, wide toe box, and solid cushioning sold me on this shoe. It's a great shoe, except the quality is poor. I developed a hole in the upper mesh near my toe after six months, although I only use the shoe for walking. It would be a perfect show aside from this defect.

Very Comfortable
Wear them casually, specifically when getting groceries, shopping, running errands etc. Very comfortable to wear all day and stand in.

Zero drop+ Stability+ 30mm EGO Max foam= Happy back & knees
Thank you, Altra for giving us the only zero-drop stability shoes with moderate/high cushion in the market. As someone who has had knee surgery and back issues, this shoe is a godsend. Super comfortable and stable. The arch support and the guidance rails are perfect. Please don't change this combination Altra or discontinue this line. My only request to Altra is to give us a trail version of this gem! Currently, none of the Altra trail shoes have an arch support and guidance system.

I love the fit, but give the wides the black option
I've only had them for 2 months, but I love the fit and feel for my wide, zero-arch feet. This could be a 5/5 rating, if not for the fact that the wides don't have a neutral color option, as usual for Altra. This bright blue color is particularly garish and almost put me off of buying them entirely. It severely limits where I can wear them. If the black option was available in wide, I'd have bought a second pair for work and general wear, in addition to my pair for exercise. Maybe even a third in case I can't find something that fits better than this in the future.

Most comfortable shoes I have ever owned
Finally a shoe that wont squish my toes and provide cushioning and support. Ive been looking for something like this for over a decade.

Didn't last long
This is my first pair of Altras and a hole developed above my big toe on my left shoe. Had the shoes less than 3 months. For such an expensive shoe I would have expected better wear. Altra would not warranty or replace shoe. I only walk and don't run.

I don't need my orthotics with these shoes!
This is the first pair of shoes (and the 6 before these) that I don't need my expensive orthotics. I need a Metpad to help a problem with the ball of my right foot. I can wear these all day with zero discomfort. When the 6's wear out I'll buy another 7, or maybe 8's when they come out.

EXCELLENT SHOE!
The Paradigm 7 is very comfortable, roomy, cushiony and well built. I've mainly worn the Torin over the years but thought I'd try something different. My feet fell warmer in the Paradigm 7 than the Torin but overall I really like them. BTW: the blue color is a "really bright" blue.
