Altra worked with Olympian Kara Goucher to create a maximally-cushioned stability trainer that provides an experience that’s incredibly protective yet still nimble and light, the Paradigm 6. The Paradigm 6 is now sporting the new EGO MAX midsole foam seen in the Torin 5.0 in a generous helping alongside a Guiderail system for on-demand support. This shoe is also sporting Innovarch technology, which optimizes foot placement within the shoe and provides a seriously high-profile feel. If you like a lot of arch in your shoe, this should be a serious contender. True to the Altra formula, the paradigm has an accommodating FootShape last and zero-offset geometry to help you move as naturally as possible while still providing great support. The Paradigm 6 is a great daily trainer, long run, or all-day comfortability option for the “more-is-more” minded folk.
