Altra Paradigm 5
Altra Paradigm 5 The most supportive shoe for road runners. The Paradigm was inspired by the Badwater 135, a race known as The World’s Toughest Foot Race. It is a road race covering more than 135 miles or 217 kilometers in Death Valley, where temperatures exceed 40°C, causing the road surface to melt the rubber soles of some shoes!
The Paradigm 5.0 incorporates all of ALTRA’s technologies to support and cradle the feet of overpronators and ultra-road runners. This includes Guiderail™, an internal heel wrap that acts as a “guide” for the foot, helping prevent overpronation, and Stability Pod™, which acts like a tripod positioned at three key points under the foot. Combined with the signature bouncy EGO™ midsole, it helps propel you forward.
The Paradigm 5.0 is a thick-soled shoe designed for long runs and ideal for those who want to protect their feet and truly love comfort.

Technology Details - Altra Paradigm 5

FOOTSHAPE™️ TOE BOX Designed with enough room in the forefoot for toes to spread naturally with every stride, without squeezing them together. It provides stability and promotes midfoot striking.

MIDSOLE - ALTRA EGO™
Altra’s renowned midsole technology differs from standard midsoles made with EVA foam. EGO™ has been proven durable in extreme weather conditions while remaining soft, comfortable, and responsive.
GUIDERAIL™
A midsole technology located in the mid-heel area that acts like a railway track, enhancing stability and controlling the foot’s path with every stride for greater confidence and performance.
BALANCED CUSHIONING
Designed with a level sole from front to back (forefoot vs. heel), similar to standing barefoot. It maintains the foot’s natural alignment and promotes midfoot striking, the most sustainable running gait.
.
.
STABILIPOD™
A technology that acts like a tripod at three natural points on the sole of the foot, helping maintain stability upon impact. It reduces the risk of overpronation and keeps the foot properly positioned as it rotates to distribute impact forces on the ground.
