Customer Reviews Altra Paradigm 6

I have had issues with tight toe box! This shoe is my saving grace!

Good

Have foot problems & it seems that Paradigm are the only shoes that are comfortable on my feet Arch support & width are comfortable

Happy with my shoes. I'm am Altra user for the last couple years. I've got Lone Peaks for walk around/hiking. My prior road running shoe is the Rivera, which I also love. I'll still use those on faster days and now my Paradigms for general training and when I want a little more cushion and support. I'm happy with the cushion and support. Cushion doesn't get mushy but felt good as I started and continued into the run. I tried on some Torin 5 and they felt great except the tongue was terrible and scratchy.

Altra is excellent for foot/toe support/comfort. Got these for my husband who runs. His other pair lasted 5 years. This brand was recommended by my orthopedic doctor.

The last Altra I purchased was in 2020 (?) Altra Paradigm 4.5. I love this shoe. So when I needed a new one I ordered this shoe. I wear a 10 in the 4.5's ... this shoe was a half size larger at least. I had to return.

I liked mine so much, I got a pair for my husband. They were shipped quickly and arrived in good order. He normally wears a size 13, but there were none available so went with the 12.5 and they fit great. He likes that they are lightweight and with great cushioning in the sole. He has had plantar fasciitis in the past and non-specific neuropathy now. These shoes have been recommended for both. He hasn’t decided if he will put his orthotic insoles in them yet. He’s not a runner but will be using them for walking and for casual wear. So we’ll see how it goes. If they last for a fair bit, will be well worth the price.

These shipped incredibly fast & arrived in good order. These were a gift for my husband as I liked mine so much & his old pair were falling apart. He often wears a size 13, but the closest they had in stock was 12.5 or 14. The 12.5 is plenty roomy! He really likes the lightweight feel and cushiony sole. He hasn’t decided if he will replace the inner soles with his orthotics or not. He has had plantar fasciitis in the past & non-specific neuropathy now. These shoes were recommended for both conditions, so we hope they help!

Great looking shoe and very comfortable. The toe box actually accommodates the forefoot and toes - what a concept right? Sort of a minimalist setup with a small heel to toe drop, but enough cushioning to keep feet & knees from getting beat up on long runs.
