Great running shoe

Can't say enough how much I love these. I've tried a few different Brooks sneakers previously (Ghost, Levitate, etc.) in various sizes and always had issues with knee and foot pain and losing toenails. I don't have any of those issues with these. I've put a good amount of miles in them and still have all my toenails and zero pain. The large toe box has definitely helped a lot with this. The zero drop did take some getting used to in the beginning but after a few runs in them I couldn't go back to the Brooks. I'm glad I didn't read reviews prior to purchasing these and bought them based on the recommendation from my local running store. The negative reviews about the changes from the paradigm 6 likely would have deterred me. I'm very happy with these but would love to have tried the 6. Hopefully the next version will be a good mix of the two!

This pair was my introduction to Altra & I love them!

These shoes have been a game changer for me. I have tailors bunions so I have been wearing toe spacers in my shoes & it is so nice to have a pair of shoes that are comfortable in the toe box. I've put a lot if miles into these shoes & am so happy with my purchase. Thank you!!!

I love this shoe but.....

I love the shoe, however, after a few runs my big toe has torn through the top of the shoe. Very flimsy and thin material.

Recent reviews said Paradigm 7s were tighter in the toe box & too firm in the foot bed. I wore my new Paradigm 7 today for the first time & found them to be as comfortable as in the past. Love them!

Great shoe but would make a few changes!

I just finish a pair of their olympis's and loved them! Wanted to try these out. I got them in the same size but these feel a bit smaller. I also don't like how high the back rise, they kind of rub on the back of my ankle.

Altra Paragram 7

Perfect pair of shoes. I had Morton aroma surgery. These shoes have a square box in the toe area. That makes it where your feet feel more natural. I wouldn't change for nothing.

please make a wide shoe in white!

Thanks for offering a wide width in the Paradigm and Torin. Both feel great - love that they're zero drop, not too stacked and have lots of room for my toes. Can you please offer a wide option in white please? Us wide-footed girlies want cute white sneakers too.

Excellent comforting shoe after bunion surgery

These shoes are so great! Very comfortable, very light, just amazing. I never thought I'd like a shoe so much especially after having bunion surgery. These shoes have been a lifesaver and are my go to. Can't wait to start running again after I heal a little more. The wide toe box in the shoe is perfect and the cushion is just right. Excellent shoe.

Ruined the perfect running shoe

I made the switch Altra and the Paradigm 6 and loved the shoe so much that I stocked up on several pairs since I am a daily runner who after decades of running developed various foot issues. I was so disappointed when I got these Paradigm 7's which, as so many others have noted, are way too firm and hard in the midsole. Why did you change the perfect running shoe and what will you do to address this intolerable firmness and loss of cushion which had been present in the 6's?

Better than the 3.

I ran in the 3rd version of this shoe. I wasn't keen on it then but trying it for a second time. I definitely like this version better than the 3. The overall comfort and roominess is what keeps me interested. I love the foot shape toe box but even the heel cup is roomier than the 3rd version.
