PARADIGM 7 provides optimal support with a concept that has remained unchanged since the first generation. PARADIGM is the most tried-and-true model, with features added and lost with each version update.

The Paradigm is often used for long-duration exercises such as ultramarathons and 100 km walks, so we have made changes to further pursue "weight reduction" and "comfort. The Paradigm has been modified to be more "lightweight" and "comfortable". The mesh of the instep part of the foot was made thinner by eliminating some features from the previous work and redesigning the upper, and in addition to improved breathability, the same size has been made thinner.Light weight of about 13gand dramatically lighter.

Common to all ALTRA models updated this season are improvements to the laces, tongue, and footwear opening, which we believe significantly reduce stress over long periods of use. The most supportive feature is a straight line extending from the rear foot to the forefoot.GUIDE RAILThe most superior support function is the GUIDE RAIL that extends in a straight line from the rearfoot to the forefoot, which is adopted continuously from the previous work, and plays its role only when support is needed on the inside of the foot to prevent the foot from moving too much to the outside, extending the installation time by walking over long periods of time such as 100 km week.

The PARADIGM model, which is active from daily walking to ultramarathons, will continue to be updated in the future, but I think it is a good shoe with the optimal balance at the time it was created. We hope you will experience them for yourself.

About sizing
Because the previous PARADIGM 6 was a little tight in size, we recommend a half size down from the previous PARADIGM if you do not have a voluminous foot.PARADIM 5If you have worn the previous model, there is generally no need to resize.
