Introducing the Altra Paradigm 7 for women, a maximum cushioning running shoe that seamlessly blends comfort with natural stability, making it ideal for mild overpronation. The Paradigm 7 boasts a premium engineered mesh upper, strategically reinforced for protection where needed, ensuring exceptional breathability and ample space for your feet and toes. This feature becomes particularly valuable during longer runs when fatigue sets in, as the Guiderail technology, alongside excellent overall stability and firmness, assists in maintaining a steady gait cycle and prevents unwanted rolling inwards.

Whether you have a neutral gait or experience mild overpronation, the Paradigm 7 is a great option.

The Paradigm 7 is built with the 'Standard Footshape Fit' toe box. This mid-range volume and width provide abundant room, enabling your toes to splay naturally, delivering enhanced cushioning, stability, and an improved toe-off from your own feet. With the addition of a plush collar and tongue for irritation prevention, and an optional extra lace hole for a secure fit, the Paradigm 7 ensures your comfort and confidence on every run.

The Altra EGO MAX midsole combines increased cushioning with responsive energy return, eliminating any sensation of sogginess. Furthermore, INNERFLEX and FOOTPOD technologies strategically enhance flexibility where needed, offering a comfortable experience straight out of the box and ensuring lasting comfort through your most extended runs.

Perfect for both a new runner looking for a comfortable and supported running shoe for your first miles or a seasoned runner setting out on long, slower recovery runs.
