Men'S ALTRA Paradigm 6 Road Running Shoe - AL0A5471 Review

Considerably narrower than the 5's at the same size. I wish I could size up for more room but there is not a half-size up option (13.5), full size would be too much toe room. Feeling a little hot spot on the lateral side spreading across the ball of my foot, I believe due to the narrower toebox. I probably won't be using them for long runs to avoid blisters.I would rather have gusset tongue than the medial lacing gimmick.I wish Altra would stop narrowing their shoes. This will probably be my…

Ridiculously expensive for a deconstructing shoe. I have had these for 2 weeks exactly and the sole is coming apart. Disappointing.

I am a long time runner, and at 68 years old, that means a lot of miles and a lot of wear and tear on the ol' body! I am coming back to the Altra Paradigm because I have read, and I am experiencing, that the low drop design of the Altras are beneficial in lessening the discomfort of my aching knees!

I have exclusively worn Altra Paradigms for the past 7 years. This is definitely the worst model to date. It feels different that the prior models. I would like to see them go back to prior designs, such as the paradigm 5.

Love this shoe. I am an ALTRA fan due to the width and the unique toe box built into their products. The support they built into this model is really outstanding. The ride is highly cushioned. I still run in my New Balance Foam - but these are fantastic everyday shoes. Hopefully they come down in price by the time I get ready for the next pair!

Don't waste your money. I have shoes with over 500 miles on them that are more "cushy" than these things. I bruised my heal in these shoes on my second run. I can barely walk on that foot. Huge waste of time and money.

These shoes are good. Just not as good as previous edition of the paradigm. Hopefully ALTRA will pay attention to the customer reviews and go back to the old style with the next generation.

The main thing to know about these shoes is they don't have an offset, that means basically that the heel of the shoe is not raised. For me what this results in, is that I land more mid-foot, whereas I am normal more of a heel striker when I run. Is that a better thing? Depends on what you consider better, so far I like it. Only time will tell if it's what I will stick with long term, I have been a Sacony Omni guy in the past, but a friend recommended these. The shoe does have generous…
