The heel and mid foot is plenty supportive so I think this keeps the insole in place. Note that you can trim the insole for the shoe width upfront. Mine were originally trimmed for a Hoka Huaka also a relatively wide platform under forefoot.Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-26755673692915016332014-12-08T09:54:24.077-07:002014-12-08T09:54:24.077-07:00using superfeet or other insole in paradigms, don&...using superfeet or other insole in paradigms, don't you have a problem with the front of the insole moving around in the much wider shoe?<br />thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-71315281398307090152014-11-20T17:37:45.595-07:002014-11-20T17:37:45.595-07:00Sorry haven't run in either version of the One...Sorry haven't run in either version of the One.

As far as midfoot I am surprised given foot shaped wide toe box how well the midfoot is held in the paradigm, wide platform helps I think. GRU is fine too but if used for rough trails and given soft midsole outsole not as beefy in midfoot as it might be. Roads fine for GRU.

I have had no issues with the paradigm with the stock insole or the superset which I think makes it a 4mm drop, more my style. and while I enjoy zero drop I prefer more This said I am perfectly happy in the Hoka Huaka at 2mm or so. I need some heel especially on longer hard runs and races as one gets tired and this may be why you feel the achilles. So adios boost at 11mm for my races! . I had the Torin and found the combination of missing heel and firmness too much for me. The GoRun Ultra is real interesting as without the insole with the foot sitting on the finished inside it is 4mm. With the insole it is 8mm. I have used the ultra insole in other shoes to get more drop. Hope this helps.Sam Winebaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969086391170473784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10529476.post-33654962439522358432014-11-19T08:21:08.595-07:002014-11-19T08:21:08.595-07:00thanks for the review! you mention being a heel st...thanks for the review! you mention being a heel striker, so i wondered about your doing well in a zero drop shoe (though i later saw that you use superfeet--always?). i'm a midfoot striker (with perhaps a bit of heel). i enjoy running in 4mm shoes like montrail fluidflex and NB 1690, but do sometimes have a bit of achilles strain from them, so i'm wary of pushing the distance. <br /><br />how would you compare paradigm, torin, and gorun ultra in terms of fit and ride? my feet are pretty narrow and i usually like a snug fit--are the heel and midfoot areas snug on the altras?<br /><br />thanks!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
