    Altra Running
    Paradigm 8
    Support that doesn't get in the way.
    Supportive daily trainer
    A supportive daily trainer that feels smooth, cushioned, and surprisingly natural to run in. The Paradigm 8 is built for runners who want guidance and stability without a stiff or overly controlling feel. It's a great option for everyday miles, walking, or anyone looking for a little extra support underfoot.
    New to Altra? The Paradigm 8 has a 0mm drop (zero drop), meaning your heel and forefoot sit level with each other different from most traditional running shoes. It encourages a more natural foot position, so we recommend easing into it start with shorter runs or walks and build up as your body adjusts.
