Support Level:

Support Level describes how much lateral stability a running shoe provides to help guide your foot through its stride. Neutral shoes are best for runners with a natural gait who don’t want/need extra correction. Support shoes add some structure to reduce mild overpronation, while Maximum support shoes offer the highest level of stability for those who need stronger motion control

Overview

Experience comfort, stability, and your natural foot movement in the Paradigm 8 - perfect for everyday runs, long walks, or if you're on your feet for most of the day. 

EGO MAX midsole foam cushioning provides step in softness and comfort, as well as being lighter than traditional stability shoes. The underfoot feel is stable, comfortable and responsive enough to give you that kick where it's needed. Altra's signature FootShape toe box allows your toes to anatomically splay the way they should, promoting a more natural underfoot feel. The snugger midfoot and heel fit, combined with a ghillie style lacing system, keep you foot stable without irritation. 

GuideRail™ sidewall support provides gentle guidance where it's needed to help keep your feet moving in a straight, stable movement. The 0mm heel to toe drop allows your heel and forefoot to sit at the same level, which encourages a natural, balanced foot strike to promote better posture and alignment. 

If you're looking for a lightweight stability shoe that has the perfect balance of comfort and natural movement, the Paradigm 8 is the perfect trainer for you.

Key Features:

  • EGO MAX cushioning
  • GuideRail™ sidewall support
  • Signature FootShape design
  • 0mm heel to toe drop
