The Paradigm checks off all the standards I look for in a shoe. Well-cushioned, durable, sturdy, and an excellent price. The show provides an excellent amount of cushioning, a stable ride, a roomy toebox, and durable materials. The zero drop does not feel real apparent in this model, I wonder if it is due to the cushioning. Either way, this is an excellent shoe and a good transition shoe into the world of zero drop. I also find it fits true to size, no blisters or hot spots, either.

I've had a few pairs of these shoes and I really like them. My favorite feature by far is how durable these things are - practically indestructible (if you have a decent running form). First pair has around 1000 miles and shows very little signs of wear on the outside, just a bit of fading rubber on the bottom (but they still feel just fine)

I love this shoe for long runs and recovery. Great cushion and toe box room.
