Great pair of walking shoes

I use it for everyday wear - work, bringing my kids to and from school. The cushioning helps alleviate my heel pain, and the wide toe box encourages me to walk properly, activating my leg and thigh muscles.

I LOVE my Women's Paradigm 6

I love my new pair of Women's paradigm 6. I mostly walk with some light jogging and they are the perfect shoes for my level of activity. The shock absorption is perfect, they fit exactly the way they should, and they just feel great! 10/10 recommend and I will be buying them again when I next need new shoes.

I really like them.

I can finally walk with less pain & discomfort. I have hallux limitus & the wide toe box alleviates pressure on my big toe (MTP) joint. I have s slight leg length discrepancy and there is enough room to add a special insole in one shoe, but I can still lace the the other one securely enough. Only complaints are laces too short for lacing a heel lock. And the tongue is stiff & slides to outside. (Yes I laced through the slot.)

Too squeeky

I have worn Altras for many years, but never had them squeak like my paradigm 6's. I took them to the store and they exchanged them. Still squeaking. I called Altra and I was told that they know they are squeaky, put some baby powder or VASELINE in them. I tried powder, still squeaky. This time wasted my money

Squeaky shoes

For the price point you could do better. I'm an RN, I've worn everything from Hooka, On-Cloud & Danskos. I bought these hoping for better comfort. They are comfy, but too noisy & stain easily!

Works for ME!!

I ran in Altra Provisioness for years. I had Richelson's Feet First help me with a foot bed and lacing pattern, and they were perfect. So perfect that I didn't even unlace them.....kept that lacing pattern intact for years. They wore out and I tried to find new ones. Nothing worked. I kept using them and did my last "race" in them at their 10-year age point. Nothing left to the shoe but they were comfortable. I decided to return to Richelson's and see if they could recommend a replacement. They came up with this one and I'm happily running (at 75 not as much, but still) happily. LOVE these.

No

I have RA in my feet and toes and even thought I ordered ride I'm the toe wasn't wide enough as even after walking a short distance my feet started hurting and burning. Since closed yor constricts my feet the toe had to be extra wide so as not to constrict my toes.

Worst pair of Altras I've ever owned

I wore these for about three days and wound up with the most excruciating foot pain I've had since recovering from plantar fasciitis almost 10 years ago. The arch and top of my foot were screaming in pain and this was only with walking. Six weeks later and I'm still experiencing pain across the top of my foot after wearing these.

I'd buy again and again

I've never felt this way about a shoe before... I just love the way these feel. I've been using these for work (i'm on my feet all day) and I feel all of the support and cushion. They're amazing!
