Men's Altra, Paradigm 7 Running Shoe

Cushioned, Controlled, and Built to Go the Distance

The Altra Paradigm 7 combines a plush EGO Max midsole with Innerflex grooves that allow the shoe to flex and adapt naturally underfoot, giving you cushion that moves with you rather than against you. Medial GuideRail technology steps in to manage pronation only when your stride calls for it, keeping your gait on track without overriding your natural movement. The FootShape toe box and zero drop platform round out a shoe engineered for runners who want serious support without sacrificing natural foot mechanics.
