The Altra Paradigm 5.0 is here , the latest release of one of the most relevant top of the range models in cushioning of the american brand. This shoe, which has a zerodrop, is aimed at neutral runners. The most notable changes in this Paradigm 5.0 compared to previous models are that the heel is more rounded to soften landings and that the upper offers greater support.
The Altra Paradigm 5.0 Running shoes have some modifications both in the upper and in the heel so that you can enjoy a more comfortable running experience, although it should also be noted that the American firm has decided to maintain technologies such as the Footpod Outsole that have given such good results to date. That said, let's move on to unpack the most relevant features of these Altra Paradigm 5.0.
In the midsole of this Altra shoe we find the Altra EGO technology, which will provide you with fabulous stability. In addition, the internal Innerflex grooves of this shoe offer great elasticity, while the Natural Ride System favors a more natural running dynamics of the foot while you run for miles.
The upper, on the other hand, presents some modifications with respect to the previous model, the Altra Paradigm 4.5, and in this new version a more technical mesh has been included that will provide better support. In addition, the Strobel Last fabric will increase the feeling of comfort when running.
Finally, in the sole we find the Footpod technology that in addition to providing extra elasticity in each stride, provides high resistance to wear and excellent traction and grip.
The Altra Paradigm 5.0, which, as a reminder, has top cushioning, is an excellent option for runners who are looking for a shoe that provides exceptional comfort and support and also absorbs a large part of the impact while running. In addition, the zerodrop continues to be the hallmark of one of Altra's most important models.
