I have been wearing the Paradigms for the last several years, but I figured I would try out these Torins. They are great! A lot of cushion for long miles, but enough firmness to maintain stability. There is a rocker-like feel to them too, meaning the miles are effortless, whether walking or running. Arizona100 miler · REI
