Altra Paradigm
Much like with the Provision 3.5, Paradigm 4.0 has the brand's GuideRail system, which comes in handy when you start to tire toward the end of your run. The Stabilipod pillars are also here to stabilize your foot in three different areas. The Varus feature is absent, but the shoe's midsole has the brand's EGO cushioning, which manages to be light, responsive, and plush. Overall, this might be the ideal shoe for runners who need a supportive structure, but not as much as the Provision 3.5 provides. If you're a fan of blue or black designs, you'll be satisfied with your color options. It weighs 11.2 ounces, making it the heaviest shoe on the list.
