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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wide toe, cushioning, zero drop - just what the doctor ordered

Recommended by my podiatrist, I didn't need a camber, lots of padding and a wide toe box for my foot. They fit the bill and are what I wear almost 100% of the time for 6+ weeks, indoors and out. Great shoes. The only thing I can currently wear without pain. Being restricted in my activity level, I didn't hit them as hard as regular running shoes, solely for walking. They have held up well, no outsole split issues as some have mentioned. Previously there was the Hoka Bondi (also a great shoe) which had even more cushioning but had an even wider toe box and zero drop.

Pros
  • The shoes are still comfortable. The next test is durability.
Cons
  • Some runners may find the shoes too heavy.
