Review on ALTRA Women's Paradigm 5 - Medium Fit by Jason Stokes

I have several pairs of Altra running shoes. My feet are long but narrow except my toes like to be splayed when running/walking. The Altria is great for a wide toe box but a narrow heel that fits me like a glove. However, these shoes were very short. My fingers couldn't move apart because my thumb was pressed into the gray smooth area of the finger box. You could see the intention, very uncomfortable. My other Altrias fit great right away. I wanted to try these because they have a "drop" ratio versus a zero drop and they are said to offer stability and arch support. If they came in a size 11.5 I would try them but a 12 is too big for me.
