Steve Moore says the Paradigm 8 is a clear improvement on v7, with a softer, more runnable EgoMax midsole and nicer upper details. Still heavy at 10.8 oz but now genuinely runnable, not just a walking-around shoe.
Best for: Zero-drop wearers who want max-cushion stability for daily training, long runs, walking, or all-day comfort.
Run Moore notes: Wider than the form but slightly narrower than Paradigm 7; wide option recommended for borderline fits. Collar and laces feel more plush than v7.
