I've been wearing Altra's for a while. The Paradigm 5 & 6 were great, the 7 is a different shoe, not in a good way. Sadly, I can't wear. Will be returning. Please bring the old version back!

I love the wide width. So much more comfortable than I have ever had. Help stop ingrown toenails in my big toes and the clallused toes I've had! Miserable. This shoe is helping and cushion in right on. Thank you. I just want another pair but your sold out!, Wonder why??

These are AMAZING! I love the cushion, it's just the right amount without being too squishy, the softness of the lining, and the low back doesn't annoy my Achilles. I want every color, my bank account does not.

These are the best shoes ever. They are really great feeling. I wear them at work on my feet every day. I work in the OR for 10 years and theses are the best shoes I've had yet. I love them!

In love with my first pair of Ultras! I've been a Brooks girl for years but they seem to have gotten narrow. I got my first pair of Ultras and the wide toe box is amazing. I will be purchasing more Ultras.

This is my third pair of Alta Paradigm 7 shoes. I use custom orthotics with them and find the shoes to be exceptionally comfortable and supportive. My feet veer outwards when wearing other athletic shoes which causes foot & knee pain. This is not an issue with Altra's. I also like their style and wide toe box. I highly recommend!

I am a huge fan of Altras. Trying this new style, but felt the toe box was not as roomy as others. Went a half size larger and felt much better. Still unsure if I'm going to keep them or try the wide (normally, I am a 7 medium in Altras). Love that these have a little more support.

These were recommended by my physician two years ago and I haven't purchased any other walking shoes since . I just got my third pair. Great support, lightweight, and feel great after walking all day.

Love these!! I have tried on more shoes than you can shake a stick at, and these fit the bill for all categories needed. Firm shank (but not Birk hard), wide toe box, light cushion, mild but low arch support (doesn't aggrivate Fibroma), and no break in...put on and go walk. Happy girl!

As a nurse, I'm constantly on my feet. Even after a 12 hour shift my feet feel great in these!

I have some arthritis in ball of foot and was told to look for a zero drop shoe. Confess that I asked Chat GPT for best rated and got the Altra. Bought two pairs. Love them!! No pain! Perfect fit! Great feel.

I was looking for a shoe with a wide toebox since I was planning to walk the Camino de Santiago. These were perfect for my needs!

This shoe provides great structure and stability. I ran variety of distances on road and treadmill and enjoyed the run. the wide toe box allows for optimal comfort and I enjoy the ride of a zero drop shoe. Great everyday runner.

I wanted to start letting my toes splay, so I purchased these Paradigm 7 shoes. I wear a 9 and these feel perfect. They are so comfortable. In fact, I'd been having pains in my right foot in various places when wearing a competitor's shoes after I started walking 4-6 miles a day at a good pace, and often with a weighted vest. As soon as I began to integrating my new Altra shoes, the pains went away and my feet have been trouble free ever since.

I love these shoes. I’m not a runner, but I’m a teacher. I was looking for good arch support and a wide toe box to help me get through the day without foot pain. These shoes have done a great job!

These fit like a glove. Toe box was wide but not too wide like some other Altras feel. No heel slipping. Good shape and comfort. These would be great shoes for walking but left a little to be desired in terms of heel cushion and sole flexibility, so didn't feel like the right fit for running for me personally.

I bought Altras for the first time and I love them. I have been suffering with plantar fasciitis for almost 2 years (I am finally pain free most of the time! Yay!) and have been searching for the perfect shoe. I do a lot of walking with the dog on pavement so I buy new shoes frequently. These shoes are incredibly comfortable. I usually have to replace the insole with Superfeet, but I didn't have to do that with these. They were awesome right out of the box.
