So Far So Good
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 7.5
I’m a 58 year old with a duck waddle gait. Low 20s miles a week, and I got fed up with Hoka wearing out after 6 weeks. So I’m trying Altra. Paradigm 6 has a nice wide toe box, and Backcountry shipped right away. Happy so far!!

Best shoes ever
Love these shoes, but super annoyed that less than 30 days after I bought them, and after I disposed of the return papers, they show up on Woot for half the price!

Would buy again
After going through Chemotherapy the Chemo left my feet with neuropathy (some numbness and nerve pain) that would flare up from just walking around a grocery store. I tried on several brands of shoes to find something comfortable and supportive. These shoes were my last hope and despite the price I gave them a try because they were the only ones that were comfortable and supportive with my neuropathy. As I started wearing them out of the house to my radiation appointments and physical therapy appointments several of the nurses and physical therapists noticed my Altra shoes right away and commented on them! They wanted to know which model they were and how I liked them. I had no idea they were so popular with the more physically fit crowd. I bought mine at an outdoor store. These shoes made it possible for me to walk normally and be on my feet when I needed to be to live a normal life. I just hope the Paradigm 7 is as comfortable. My shoes lasted well over a year of normal activity and have not come apart at all. I did not use them for running and I alternate these with summer shoes in hot weather. They do squeak a little when I walk so if it's quiet you can hear them, but it's probably happening more now that they've loosened up from being worn for 18 mo's.

Really comfortable but wears down really fast
I bought my shoes in 2022 and I wore them inside only for my light dance workouts for only 3 months, 2x a week. I stopped the dance workouts, forgot about the shoes, then started wearing them again late 2023 on walks. Within 6-8 months of very intermittent walking (3-4 times a month) the bottom soles are literally peeling off and starting to squeak. I wanted to write an email instead of a review, but I looked all over the site to find an email and I couldn't find it and the chat bit wasn't helpful. I love the feel of Altras but if they are going to fall apart like this, I don't know what to buy next.

Best you ever

Echo max Siri six is the best shoe for running on the street. I had Achilles issues and was having a hard time running for a long distance. The shoe takes the pressure off your Achilles and your arch and makes it feel like you could run for 5 miles with no problem. I really wish they would keep the shoe and bring it back. I did not like the series 7 had no cushion and I was unable to run as far as I wanted to keep series 6 love it so much. Thank you.

Love these! The very best for Achilles and knee issues!
These are by far the best shoes for Achilles and Knee issues. Please don't stop making the Parisian 6. The new paradigm 7 caused pronation and is uncomfortable! Why did Altra ruin a good shoe

Comfortable shoe
This is my first time ever purchasing this brand. They are very comfortable and well made. I feel like they look a little geriatric to me. But I guess that's what you get with the wide toe. If you don't mind looking a little older, they are really comfortable.

Comfy but squeaky and wearing quickly
These are the first of this kind of fit I have ever owned, and they cured my knee issues almost immediately. The guide rail was a little narrow on one foot at first, but they broke in nicely. On the down side, both shoes are squeaky, sounding like I am walking with wet shoes on. I have tried adjusting the inserts but it keeps coming back. Also, they are wearing VERY quickly - pieces of the sole are detaching after 7-8 months or so, and a hole is starting to wear on one.

Favorite shoes
Favorite shoes, I may or may not have 6 altras in rotation due to how much I love them. I will forever run in altras and also wear them as work shoes. Thank you for making the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.
