Review on ALTRA AL0A5471 Paradigm Orange Men's Running Shoes: Optimize Your Athletic Performance by John Ford

I can't speak to previous versions but I think these are fantastic shoes. I've worn ASICS Kayano shoes for many years for their soft sole and overpronation support. However, the 26's and 27's felt a bit tight in the arch and arch of the foot and didn't last as long as the previous models. I went to Fleet Feet and tried the 28s and they felt about the same. I tried these ALTRAs and found them incredible. The stock Fleet Feet only had bright orange, but Best Buy had white with a green border. The wider toe box feels great and the soft support is as good or better than ASICS. I hope they last and I definitely plan to buy more ALTRA.
