Perfect Running Shoe
I've had these shoes for 7 months and they are perfect for me. I've always liked how Altra has a big box toe area so your toes can spread out comfortably when running. They also have the perfect cushion for my running style.

Good Quality, But a Bit Narrow for Me
These seemed really well made and the materials felt premium. Unfortunately, the fit was too narrow for my feet, so I’ll be returning them. Likely a great option if you have a slimmer foot profile.

Very comfortable, wide front part, and soft foam insole.
I didn't have high expectations for this pair of shoes but it's amazing! They fit perfectly and feel like it's "hugging" my feet without pressing and squishing my toes. The front part is very wide and allows a lot of movement for your toes which is brilliant and very comfortable. It doesn't look wide if you just look at the shoe but it's very spacious inside and ensures a good and secure fit. They're lightweight and nicely designed. Great pair of shoes for running, cycling, or walking. The sole has deep groves and provides a very good and secure grip. High quality and looks like they will last. Design wise, they're minimal and with nice colours and very detailed. The material is soft and easy to clean. The price seemed quite high but to be honest, as soon as I tried them I changed my mind. They are worth every penny. I would highly recommend it.

Very supportive
These shoes have several positive aspects to them They are comfortable, well fitting shoes The upper is particularly good, soft tongue and excellent laces allowing me to get an excellent foot lockdown The toe box is wide enough without allowing foot slide The heel again is particularly good, protective and comfortable, no rub and you feel very secure. The grip is excellent, no chance of any skidding and it handles rough ground fine. The midsole, although firm does give noticable bounce and when I go up and remain on that section its quite a fair run. The shoe is designed to be supportive; to "guide" you feet and it does this quite strongly and some would be very attracted to this aspect of the shoe to help with their overpronation. However even as an overpronator myself I think it is overdone; the heel in particular and the toebox feel too rigid as they try to guide my feet and there is not enough give to the extent that running feels unnatural in these. There is plenty of evidence that overpronators are better off running in comfortable neutral shoes and as an experienced long distance runner who overpronates I definitely lean to that argument. I am a marathon runner and I would not even contemplate running a marathon in these. Good for walking, heel support and for those who want their feet strongly guided.

I got these trainers or should I say running shoes, they are versatile and can be worn as casual wear and also for running in. I got them in a size 9.5 black colour, though I am not sure if you can get them in any other colour, so do check, but the black colour does look nice and suits them well. You do need to know that these trainers are a well-known designer make and are sold in well-known quality stores in the UK, which only sell well-made designer brands, which this make are, hence the high purchase price. The real question is do they live up to their name, well I can say they do, well made and cushioned, the sole is rubber and has a very interesting pattern, the uppers is synthetic and again really well made, and the actual design is unusual, you will not see any trainers in this design, so they are distinctive and will look good on your feet. The trainers do fit snugly on the foot and are super comfortable, as running shoes they are perfect, as there is plenty of cushioning, I would say at the heel section the sole is around 2 inches thick, this is exactly what you need whilst running, so as I said, excellent trainers. These trainers can also be cleaned easily and if you like you can put them in the washing machine for a deep clean. In my opinion, having carefully examined these trainers, I believe they are worth buying, yes the price is high, but then again most good trainers are expensive, to have these at a bit more of a price is worth paying, well designed and should last for years, so worth the investment. I am happy to give these trainers five stars.

Altra Men's Paradigm 7 Sneaker
WOW just WOW. These are amazing. Best trainers I've ever got and used while training or jogging. I like to have my feet comfortable at all times and these are very snug and fit a teat. I'm size 9 and wow these are sooooooo nice in the fitting. At the time of the review they were £117.81 and RRP was £145 So they had a 19% reduction. Thats still a lot of money but they are 1 hell of a trainer shoe for the price. Well made everywhere. Look great, feel great and feet are so happy right now. When I buy trainers like these with the red bit on the front being glued on they ofter peel off. These look well glued on and won't budge. These must have my top score of 10-10. Very few items get this high score. These are exceptional trainers that are out of this World with quality. Very impressed and very happy to wear them.

Tengo las zapatillas hace 4 días, las he usado 2 días y ya se estan despegando, muy mal por un precio tan alto. Las compré negras, que era el color más caro y me ha llegado un color entre azul y gris. No compro más allí.

Ho comprato di nuovo questa marca di scarpe avendo il problema dell'alluce valgo. Mi trovo molto bene: comode anche per le lunghe camminate che io faccio spesso.

Ich bin zufrieden mit den Schuhen, aber bei Laufschuhen ist das immer eine Individuelle sache. Nutze die schuhe mit weniger Sprengung und mehr Platz für die Zehen als Abwechlung zu meinen anderen Laufschuhen.
