  • I love them
Size: 11 Wide Color: Black/White
Best tennis shoes ever They last forever They fit very well and they are super comfortable Good cushioning

  • Love these sneaks light weight and comfy. Great cushion
Size: 10 Color: Purple
I really like these shoes. Not as much cushion as the via Olympus which is what I wanted,but the same awesome toebox. Zero drop and light weight. These shoes help with my balance. The cushion is nice and my feet feel supported. Some days I add arch support because my foot wants it other days I don't. Great traction too. ... show more

  • Paradigm 8 just as good or better than Paradigm 6
Size: 7.5 Color: Light Gray
For me, bypassing Paradigm 7 and waiting for Paradigm 8 was the way to go! I am a fan of Paradigm 6, and have 4 pairs, some still in pretty good shape. But the Paradigm 7 never felt right to me and I returned more than one pair. This Paradigm 8 is great - maybe even better than the Paradigm 6. Super roomy toe box, sufficient bounciness to the shoe overall and the white color is perfect. ... show more

  • Narrow shoes
Size: 7.5 Wide Color: Black/White
The "wide" shoes are narrow. Thought they sent the wrong size until I rechecked. I would NOT recommend this shoe to anyone used to buying wide shoes. Disappointment. Now I need to find out how to return.

  • Altra Womens Paradigm 8 Shoes
Size: 8 Color: Navy
My wife has a issue with a toe joint causing some walking difficulties. Her foot Dr suggested this brand with a 4mm to 0mm drop. She went to a shoe store and tried some on. The shoe is a little wider in toe area making it more comfortable for toes, and it was recommended to order a half size bigger.The 0mm drop shoe felt most comfortable with best support for her to walk in, but they did not have color she wanted. We then ordered the shoes from Amazon and received them in a few days. She can now take walks without pain. ... show more

  • Comfortable and wide toe box
Size: 7 Color: Light Gray
Very comfortable with a bouncy feel. Not as high stack as said. Wide toe box allows toes to splay compares to Hoka bondi
