PARADIGM 6 | BLURRING THE LINE Collaboration is key. That’s 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 it’s 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.” BALANCED CUSHIONING Our Balanced Cushioning platform positions your heel and forefoot at an equal distance from the ground, encouraging better alignment, better form, and a low impact landing. INNERFLEX These grid-like grooves in the midsole are designed to provide flexibility and movement. GUIDERAIL The GuideRail acts like a supportive highway guide rail that encourages natural foot placement by provides guidance, but only when it’s needed.

An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running. OUR PURPOSE Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential. OUR INNOVATION Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.
