Paradigm 6 Running Shoe (Women)

After going through Chemotherapy the Chemo left my feet with neuropathy (some numbness and nerve pain) that would flare up from just walking around a grocery store. I tried on several brands of shoes to find something comfortable and supportive. These shoes were my last hope and despite the price I gave them a try because they were the only ones that were comfortable and supportive with my neuropathy. As I started wearing them out of the house to my radiation appointments and physical therapy appointments several of the nurses and physical therapists noticed my Altra shoes right away and commented on them! They wanted to know which model they were and how I liked them. I had no idea they were so popular with the more physically fit crowd. I bought mine at an outdoor store. These shoes made it possible for me to walk normally and be on my feet when I needed to be to live a normal life. I just hope the Paradigm 7 is as comfortable. My shoes lasted well over a year of normal activity and have not come apart at all. I did not use them for running and I alternate these with summer shoes in hot weather. They do squeak a little when I walk so if it's quiet you can hear them, but it's probably happening more now that they've loosened up from being worn for 18 mo's.
