The first Altra shoe inspired by and developed with an Altra athlete. Meet the Paradigm 6, a shoe that is blurring the line between support shoe and everyday trainer. Altra Elite Athlete and two-time Olympian Kara Goucher’s input helped us take this shoe to the next level, adding an Altra EGO™ MAX midsole and slimming down the overall design while maintaining its key support features.
FOOTSHAPE™ TOE BOX
Allows your toes to relax and spread out naturally for more comfort and stability in uphill climbs and downhill descents.
BALANCED CUSHIONING™ PLATFORM
Places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage proper, low-impact form throughout your trail run.
INNERFLEX™
Grid-like grooves in the midsole allow your foot to flex while being lighter, for more speed and better performance.
FOOTPOD™ TECHNOLOGY
An outsole technology that actually maps the bones and tendons of your foot to help it bend and move naturally.
GUIDERAIL™
A feature found on our dynamic support shoes that acts like a highway guide rail to provide guidance only when you need it.
