The Paradigm 7 features a fresh redesign, plush cushion and medial support for when your feet need it the most.

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. Our GuideRail™ technology has got your back (and your feet) with medial support, only when it’s needed.
