This is the men’s Altra Paradigm 7, a maximum cushioning running shoe that blends comfort and some natural stability for mild overpronation. The Paradigm 7 features a premium engineered mesh upper that has protection where you need it, breathes incredibly well, and features a good level of volume for your feet and toes. Especially over longer runs when fatigue starts to creep in, the Guiderail technology and great overall stability & firmness helps keep your gait cycle from allowing you to roll inwards.
Neutral and mild overpronators can enjoy the more natural feel stability of the Paradigm 7.
The ‘Standard Footshape Fit’ toe box sits in the mid-range of volume and width, with plenty of room especially when comparing to more traditional shape running shoe from other brands. Your toes can finally splay naturally, providing another level of cushion and stability, plus a better toe-off.
The Paradigm 7 has a plush collar and tongue for irritation prevention and a secure fit with an optional extra lace hole. The Altra EGO MAX midsole was designed to offer a higher level of cushioning without feeling soggy and lacking energy.
INNERFLEX and FOOTPOD are both technologies designed to provide flexibility where you actually need it. In summary the Paradigm 7 feels comfortable out the box, right through your longest runs and can equally be used for neutral runners who like the supportive feel, or mild overpronators.
Altra describe the men’s Paradigm 7 as: “Support doesn’t have to mean big, ugly clunkers. Meet the Paradigm 7, with a fresh redesign featuring an engineered mesh upper for breathability and ghillie lacing for a secure fit. A molded heel collar with soft detailing and premium lining materials provides a soft step-in feel.
