Support doesn’t have to mean big, ugly clunkers. Meet the Paradigm 7, with a fresh redesign featuring an engineered mesh upper for breathability and ghillie lacing for a secure fit. A molded heel collar with soft detailing and premium lining materials provides a soft step-in feel. Experience responsiveness with a side of plushness in 30 mm of lightweight, updated Altra EGO™ MAX midsole foam. Invite your feet to spread out in our Standard FootShape™ Fit, designed for natural foot position. GuideRail™ technology has got your back (and your feet) with medial support, only when it’s needed.

Altra EgoMAX is a soft midsole compound designed for high energy return, providing high levels of durability and responsiveness
Guide Rails are incorporated into the A-Bound midsole for adaptive stability
Inner Flex flex grooves system provides additional flexibility and cuts weight for increased performance
Natural Ride System (NRS) design includes a more natural, foot-shaped last, zero millimeter heel to toe drop, and metatarsal-specific shapes in the outsole to assist in proper foot mechanics and allow for more natural foot movement
FootPod Outsole follows the natural construction of the human foot for a responsive ride, updated to improve flexibility through the gait cycle
Engineered Mesh Upper balances breathable comfort and support while a plush tongue and Collar offer additional comfort
Standard Footshape is Altra's most common footshape that sits right in the middle of the Original and Slim fit options. This fit will be slightly slimmer than the Original roomier fit
