Summary
The Altra Paradigm 7 is a high-cushion road running shoe designed to offer maximum support and comfort for long-distance runners. As part of Altra's core lineup, it stands out due to its extra cushioning and stability features, making it ideal for those who require additional support or experience overpronation. The Paradigm 7 integrates Altra's signature FootShape toe box and Balanced Cushioning platform, which encourage a more natural running form and efficient toe splay. Compared to other models in Altra's lineup, such as the lightweight Escalante or the trail-ready Lone Peak, the Paradigm 7 is specifically engineered for road running with an emphasis on comfort and stability rather than speed or trail adaptability. It's aimed at runners who prioritize a plush ride and superior stability for road surfaces.
