Compression adaptive materials respond to pressure

Collaboration is key. Thats why we worked closely with Altra Elite Athlete and two-time Olympian Kara Goucher on every detail of the Paradigm 6. The result features our luxurious and responsive Altra EGO MAX midsole foam, a slimmer aesthetic that will have you questioning whether its really a support shoe, and support features that will remind you that it is. The new Paradigm 6 is in a category of its own.
