The women's PARADIGM 4.5 by Altra is inspired by and designed for one of the toughest ultra-marathons in the world. The shoe features an Altra EGO midsole for plush cushion and ultimate energy return; a knit upper for durability, and integrated Stabilipods for enhanced support. The Fit4Her technology ensures a customized fit for the anatomy of the female foot. The sweet GuideRail system is there to help steer a tired or pronating foot, and with the addition of Altra EGO in the midsole and knit in the upper, this shoe is even more resilient, comfortable and cushioned than before.
