I have these shoes and they are without a doubt, the most cushioned shoes I have have ever worn. I have a Paradigm too but the foam on those it much more rigid for road running. I have high arches and am prone to shin splints and planar fasciitis but not with the Altra Olympus 2.5 Trail Running shoes. I also have wide feet and so can not size up because I need all of the foot box while using sock liners. If you size up and you have wide feet, the area of the shoes where the width is, becomes too far forward in the shoe so you foot ends up in narrower area of the shoe. This caused me toe cramps when I tried it. The only down side, is that the heal foam is open cell and is not very durable, at least with my heals. I have hundreds of miles on these and the outer fabric still looks like new. The cushioning has degraded some but they have so much to begin with, that the shoes just keep going and going. It is not often I recommend things but these are certainly worth a try if you like/need high cushioning.
