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.

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.

Big miss from the Paradigm 6
I've logged thousands of miles on Paradigms. These are a huge miss, especially since the 6's. I wore these on several training runs prior to a marathon and they felt like boards on the feet, a much different feel from other models. My knees hurt after each run, i figured it was just the break in period, which I've never really experienced on other Altra's. I wore these in a marathon and about half way in my feet were on fire... it felt like every time my foot struck the ground I was hitting a brick, very odd coming from such a historically good shoe. Whatever they did on the 7 was a big mistake. Wish I could get back to the comfort and feel of the Paradigm 6's. Sent these back.

Midfoot is way too narrow.
Paradigm 7s have way too narrow of a midfoot. Tried multiple pairs to make sure it wasn't a manufacturing issue. My wife had the same experience with women's. Would avoid.

Great Running Shoe
Great shoe with good cushioning and comfortable on long runs. I indicated that fit and width are true to size, but these fit about a half size larger than other running shoes. In normal shoes, I wear a 9.5 with standard width, but typically need a size 10 wide running shoe. These fit fine with a 9.5 regular width.

Highly anticipated....but was a big let down
Had the shoes for over 3 months now. Too stiff and makes my running worse. Perfect for walking and everyday use though.

Great shoe buy PLEASE make more of them with the wider toe box and better colors. I would stock up if so. I miss the Paradigm 5.

Great shoe. Just wish the wide fit had more colors
Great shoe. Just wish they had more colors available in the wide sizes. If the lime colorway came in wide that would be my go to shoe for everything. Hope altra expands the colors in the wide fit.....@

A little stiff, not enough toe room
The support is good, but my midfoot has pain when I wear the shoes longer than a few hours. I wish there were more shoes with the original fit for a wider toe box. I wish this supportive shoe was more comfortable. I am concerned about the many complaints about the sole coming apart and holes in the mesh part.

Super narrow midfoot
I have never had any problem with my lone peaks or brooks I've worn but these shoes have a super narrow midfoot that pinches the side of your foot while running. It's not a break in thing I've ran 50+ miles in them and it hasn't gotten better. It's a real shame because they're supportive and comfortable but the pinching and how narrow it is leads to blisters I don't want to wear them all day.

Awesome shoe, but please make more color options for wide si
I have extreme over pronation, with wide feet. These areone of the most comfortable shoes I've worn, but I hate the light blue color on the only color way that is offered in wide sizes.
