Best running shoes I’ve ever used.
Absolute dream. I don’t think I will ever use another running shoe again. Neutral runner, slow, big calves. These give the absolute best support while still having zero drop and a wide toe box. Amazing. Changed running for me. Will swear by these for life. 9.5 true to size. Support, stability, comfort, lightness, so good.I used to wear brooks ghost and brooks adrenaline and under armour charged pursuit. These were better than hokas I tried on and everything else.

Great well built shoes.
These shoes are well made and have well placed supports on the inside and outside of the heels and arch. I have low arches and these felt comfortable. My plantar fasciitis causes me to pronate in order to avoid pain but these shoes force my feet to align properly and keeps my posture correct. Walking is well balanced. These shoes are pricey so wait for a sale. I would consider buying again. Also, quite stylish. Got so many compliments from strangers as I walked in these. It does stand out with its pretty blue color. I wear a 9.5 and have slightly wide feet but the wide version of this is too wide even for me. The regular width was perfect for me even with wide toe box.

Great shoe
Great running shoe with stability and cushion. Nice wide toe box but still snug fit. Good daily trainers. More than 350 miles on them, and still seem to be doing well. Color and fit were as expected. Usually wear a 6.5 wide or a 7, and the 7 fit great.

Great shoes!
I am always on the lookout for a comfortable shoe to wear with peripheral neuropathy. While I haven't found the perfect shoe yet, these were worth the buy. I wore them for several hours walking while on vacation. They gave good support and enough "cush" to allow me to enjoy my time on my feet. They were a good buy, enough so that I got another pair in black to wear with pants in the winter.

1 sad star
I have owned 6 pairs of the Paradigm 6. I have bunions and these trainers were perfect. I thought I found my forever trainer. The new 7 was a huge disappointment. The heels were huge. Felt like a man’s shoe. They have been sadly returned. In my opinion the fit is totally different than the 6.

Back of shoe rubs
I love the look of this shoe and am typically a big fan of Altras. I normally wear the Provision 7. I lived the look and coloring of this pair so decided to try them. Upon try on they fit great and were very comfortable! After wearing them and being on my feet for a few hours, they started to rub my achilles tendon area on my the back of my heel raw/blistered.

Great shoes
These are my second pair and they really help if you do a lot of walking. When my husband was in the hospital for several months and I had to walk far distances to get around, these were such a blessing. My back and legs stopped hurting. I had noticed nurses wearing them so I splurged and got a pair. They are well worth the price! I have fallen several times because of arthritis in my knees and ankle, but I haven’t fallen since purchasing these. They have a good cushion and keep me stable. I even wear them to church.
