Altra Mens Paradigm 8

Product description

PARADIGM 8 | GUIDED COMFORT, EFFORTLESS STRIDE.

The New Paradigm 8 is a supportive shoe disguised as a sleek road runner. And it’s here to help guide your feet in a straight line while delivering efficient, lightweight strides. We updated the Altra EGO MAX midsole compound, for a more cushioned yet lightweight underfoot feel. GuideRail technology encourages natural foot placement with gentle guidance on the medial side, but only when it’s needed. A redesigned engineered mesh upper and ghillie lacing system combine to improve breathability and fit. A premium molded heel collar, featuring soft detailing, offers comfort at first step-in. It’s got a roomy toe box to help your toes move more freely with a secure midfoot and zero drop, so you can move naturally. Looking for a supportive, cushioned running shoe that’s got your back (and your feet)? You found it.

GUIDERAIL

Stay supported only when you need it. GuideRail technology offers gentle, on-demand guidance along the medial side of the shoe, encouraging natural foot placement without feeling intrusive. It’s designed to keep your stride aligned and efficient, providing extra stability and comfort on long runs while letting your foot move freely when guidance isn’t required.

EGO Max Midsole

Experience plush cushioning without the extra weight. The Altra EGO MAX midsole delivers a perfect balance of softness, responsiveness, and durability, so every stride feels smooth and energized. Designed to keep you moving comfortably on long runs or daily miles, it provides lightweight impact absorption with a touch of bounce, giving you cushioning that lasts from start to finish.

OUR BRAND

Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running for a lifetime.

OUR PURPOSE

Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION

Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.
