Brooks running shoes are more comfortable than any other shoes of this type that I have ever worn. I have 2 pairs and find myself wearing my Brooks daily, even when I am not going for a long walk or run. I bought this model for my mom in the Pink-Purple-Black combination. To say she was thrilled is an understatement. She is 90 years old and wears them everywhere she goes. Walking is critical at 90 freespirit · dsw.com

Love my Paradigm 6's, but the soles came unglued. I reached out to Altra and they said I could return for a full refund. I thought I'd try to use super glue and repair the soles. Worked for a week, but now both shoes soles are falling apart. I think I just got a dud, but never had something like this happen on running shoes. Again, super comfortable. Fit perfect. Love the wider shoe base and the z altrarunning.com
