Comfortable Paradigm 8

The Paradigms look great, feel cushy yet sturdy - therefore extremely comfortable - and provides the expected wide toe box of Altra’s, giving my toes a relaxed feel. I would say it is an enhanced version of the Torin - also a shoe I enjoy wearing.

Excellent comfortable shoes

This is the wide width version of the regular paradigm which i owned. It has a bigger toe box and more cushioned. It is definitely more comfortable while sharing the property of stability running shoes. I highly recommend Altra paradigm if one is used to zero-drop

SpongeBob

Extremely comfortable shoes with lots of room to let to dogs stretch. Only downside is the squeaking. My gosh the squeaking. Only 2 months since purchasing, I sound like Spongebob walking around and I can’t find a way to fix it.

Perfect for everyday comfort

I love them. Best Altra’s I’ve owned for my troublesome toes and feet. Got them for everyday wear. I use other Altra’s for hiking.
