Altra Paradigm 6 Womens Running Shoes Dark Blue

The women’s Altra Paradigm 6 has the highest level of cushioning, combined with some support for mild to moderate overpronation in the form of a GuideRail. The GuideRail is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible and the EGO MAX foam ensures the Paradigm 6 still has some energy return, and does not feel ‘soggy’.

Zero Drop from heel to forefoot will encourage a more midfoot landing, which is understood to have many benefits over a heel strike. The rounded FootShape toe box allows your foot and toes to spread out, naturally cushioning you as you land and helping provide a better toe-off.

Altra say: “Collaboration is key. That’s why we worked closely with Altra Elite Athlete and two-time Olympian Kara Goucher on every detail of the Paradigm 6. The result features our luxurious and responsive Altra EGO™ MAX midsole foam, a slimmer aesthetic that will have you questioning whether it’s really a support shoe, and support features that will remind you that it is. The new Paradigm 6 is “in a category of its own.””
