Paradigm 7
Paradigm 7 is a high-cushion stability road shoe for daily running, walking, and longer efforts. GuideRail support engages only when medial control is needed, while reformulated Altra EGO MAX foam targets a softer, lighter ride. An engineered-mesh upper, plusher collar, and padded tongue improve breathability and step-in comfort. Standard FootShape Fit and zero-drop geometry preserve Altra's roomy, balanced platform.
- Intended uses:
- Daily, Walking, Stability
