Customer Reviews Altra Paradigm 8

These shoes are very comfortable with a large toe box. We bought both pairs that were in our order. Highly recommend!

I desperately needed new Paradigm’s, but my color/size preferences were sold out in the women’s version. This is my first time trying a men’s sneaker. Zero issues at all in translation, aside from what Altra tells you to expect (a slight bit heavier and wider). I also tried the Olympus, but that only made it clear that the Paradigm is the shoe for me. I prefer the flexibility of the material, as well as the stability.

Ultra has the foot shape figured out. That's what sets them apart. Not tremendous cushioning and has a zero drop. Good for fast runs, but maybe not the longest runs where you want to help your knees out.
