This was my only choice the day I bought them. I only use them for running so I would have preferred to save a few bucks for a model that was a runner only. But, I have very pleased with the Paradigm.

I run primarily in them and if I have a long day on my feet. Supportive and comfortable!

I use these shoes almost exclusively for daily walking exercise. They are GREAT! I can't believe how light weight and comfortable they are. The cushioning for my bony feet is exceptionally comfortable and supportive. I love them.

The product is comfortable and provides me the toe box I need. I would like to have a greater selection of colors in size 15. This has limited my ability to buy the colors I would like to have. There is a lot of great value for me in having this quality of a walking shoe and I would like to buy more.

These were my first pair of altras and I'm so happy I took the leap and spent the money. I'm so happy to finally have a shoe that gives my toes the room they need :)

Love, love, love this shoe and the substantial improvements from the previous 6 model. I had 2 pair of 6's and both wore out a hole in the heel cuff. They fixed that with better, stronger fibers throughout and this shoe feels so solid/stable underfoot. by the way, customer service folks were awesome responding to having shipped the wrong shoes to me at first Go Altra!

This is my 4th pair of Altras and I love the wide toe box, just what I need. My downgrade on the style stars is due to the color. The color says ‘white’ but these are cream…even slightly rose gold…at best. It’s not enough to return them as I’m using them for exercise but if it was an every day shoe for me, they would have been sent back.

So grateful Altra shoes are in this world!!! My feet can only take thin-soled barefoot shoes for so long and then I need CUSH, especially when walking longer distances on city concrete surfaces. LOVE this bright blue color too!

I use them for running. I have bunions and these wide toe boxes allow me to run without pain.

I use it for my all around shoe. I've tried other brands as well as Altra and know that the paradigm is the shoe for me.I have six pair of this model.

After running in the Torins and getting injured, like a fool I researched after. Knowing I need supporting shoes, I bought the Paradigm 5s and absolutely loved them. Once they wore out I bout the the 6s the foam was too soft and not supportive like the 5s. The 6s were also not responsive like the 5s. I took a gamble on the 7s because I heard they were firmer and they are way better than the 6s. People that started on the 6 probably won't like that, but people who started before the 6s and went to Paradigm for support will love them compared to the 6s.

Wear them casually, specifically when getting groceries, shopping, running errands etc.
Very comfortable to wear all day and stand in.

Thank you, Altra for giving us the only zero-drop stability shoes with moderate/high cushion in the market. As someone who has had knee surgery and back issues, this shoe is a godsend. Super comfortable and stable. The arch support and the guidance rails are perfect. Please don't change this combination Altra or discontinue this line.
My only request to Altra is to give us a trail version of this gem! Currently, none of the Altra trail shoes have an arch support and guidance system.

First time trying the Altra stability line. Comparing them with Topo, another brand with the larger toe box. So far so good. Will know more after wearing them for a while. Roomy toe box. Orthotics fit nicely. Secure fit, but not too tight. Size seems to be the same as other brands. These are listed as having 'high' cushion vs 'mild' cushion, but I didn't notice that much of a difference in the cushioning between the Provision, Paradigm, and Experience. I would say they do not have an abundance of cushioning, but enough. The 'guide rails' seem to offer fairly good stability, not the kind of stability that shoes had several years ago, but the type of guided stability shoes are offering now. As these are my first pair of Altra, I can't compare to previous versions.

Finally a shoe that wont squish my toes and provide cushioning and support. Ive been looking for something like this for over a decade.

This is the first pair of shoes (and the 6 before these) that I don't need my expensive orthotics. I need a Metpad to help a problem with the ball of my right foot. I can wear these all day with zero discomfort. When the 6's wear out I'll buy another 7, or maybe 8's when they come out.

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.

PLEASE MAKE SOME EVERY DAY WEARABLE COLORS! Outside of the color scheme I do love these shoes. Good comfort with plenty of space for your toes. Been wearing altras for years now. Paradigm was my first type and probably my favorite.

Use these for work where I regularly walk 40-50 miles a week. EVERY.SINGLE.WEEK. These last me about 3 months till they are pretty much toast. I'm happy with the comfort over the miles and durability. I previously used the Torin 7's and much prefer these for a long haul walker.

I absolutely love these shoes! I have had Hokas, and these are much more comfortable in my opinion. I have a high arch and I love the support these give while still giving my toes plenty of room for activities, like wiggling! I am so glad to have found these.

Great shoes. Comfortable with spacious toe box. I love the fact that they are not squishy like some other brands right now. Just the right amount of support for my feet. I also like the look of the shoe that is unique and unlike many other snickers. I bought them for daily use/walking. I’ll buy more of Altras in the future for sure.
