Description

Simplified and refreshed. We built the Escalante 4 as a nod to the fan- favorite Escalante 1.5, with FootShape fit, greater flexibility, and a lighter weight. Tackle fast training runs, daily walks, or everyday errands in this streamlined and versatile road-mile destroyer. It’s got an engineered knit upper for a more sock-like and forgiving fit, with a knit tongue, just like the original Escalante. We evolved the rubber midsole for a lighter weight and more flexibility so you can feel connected to the road. A new footbed feels more like the iconic Escalante 1.5 and 2.0, with the same Altra EGO midsole foam for responsiveness and comfort. Move the way you were designed to with a roomy toe box to help your toes move freely and zero drop. How did we pack so much comfort and style into such a simple shoe? Lace it up, take it out, and see for yourself!

  • Great zero-drop running shoes
Size: 7 Color: White/Gray
As my first pair of zero-drop shoes, I couldn't be happier with the ALTRA Escalante 4. Fit true to size with the widest toe box of all Altra lines. I'll admit, the transition period was... an experience. My Achilles and calves basically filed a formal complaint for the first couple of weeks, and I was pretty sure I was walking like a baby penguin. It took about a month to get fully comfortable and for my lower legs to forgive me. But wow, was it worth the patience! Now I'm comfortably cruising through 30 miles a week with no issues at all. If you're ready to get into zero-drop running and are prepared for a little bit of a "what have I done?" phase, I can't recommend these shoes enough! ... show more

  • Great for everyday wear
Size: 9 Color: Light Gray
This has become my everyday shoe. It's comfortable, firm-footed, and the wide toe box feels amazing for my feet. I have a very wide forefoot and a normal width heel, and Altra's shoe shape just works so well for my feet. Since this is one of Altra's more minimal running shoes, it functions as a sneaker pretty well. The sole is comfortably firm and not too bouncy, so it feels stable to stand in. Full cushion running shoes can feel a little too bouncy for everyday use for my liking. The rocker is also pretty minimal, so I don't get the feeling of rolling forward when just standing around. To be clear, the sole is not a fully minimalist design; it's thin for a running shoe but still has a good thickness to it compared to standard sneakers. Thus it's comfortable and easy to wear all day. I'm a big fan of the balance they struck here. Highly recommend this shoe! ... show more

  • Top Tier Running Shoe
Size: 11.5 Color: Dark Shadow
Don’t be fooled by it looking so thin compared to most modern running shoes. These shoes are awesome. I’m not the usual “natural running” fanboy but, these have plenty of cushioning for running shoes. Some of the most comfortable I’ve ever had.

  • 2nd pair
Size: 9.5 Color: Black/Black
On my second pair now. Purchased these a year ago and wear them everyday. They are comfortable, plenty of room and look good. Color is more of a very dark blue not black. It does rip behind the achilles pretty easily and the sole of the foot wears down faster then most shoes.

  • Life-Changing Shoe Find!
Size: 10 Color: Black/Black
These are the best shoes I have ever worn! They are so light that it feels like you are barefoot (back when that felt good, like at 10 years old!) with more support. I am a women's 10.5 but prefer the naturally wider fit of a men's 10. I find that I stumble less often. My chronic back and hip pain improved within a couple of weeks. These give you the best of a barefoot shoe's natural stride but also accommodate my orthotics. Glad I found you! These shoes have been life changing for me (69-year-old, active arthritic). I am happier in these than my Birks...that says a lot! ... show more

  • IMO Altra ruined the Esclante
Size: 10.5 Color: Navy
I loved the Escalante 3, in fact I bought 3 pairs. It was time to replace one pair, so I ordered the new Escalante 4. What a mistake. The thing I loved about the Escalante 3 was that putting it on felt like you were putting on another pair of socks. Especially around the heel, it has the best fit. I hate that practically all athletic shoes are very stiff around the heel. Unfortunately, the 4 has gone in the other direction. The heel area was much stiffer than the 3 and unacceptable to me. In fact, the whole top of the shoe is much stiffer. In addition, the tongue of the 4 has been stripped of all comfort and padding. It seems to be made out of 2 VERY thin pieces of cloth glued together. It feels awful. I have never had an athletic shoe that had such a thin tongue. Feels really cheap. The whole shoe feels cheaper to me. It seems like they are trying too hard to reduce their cost. I will be returning this shoe. ... show more

  • Look great, fit perfect, arrived on time
Size: 13 Color: White/Gray
The pics don't do these justice! They fit perfect (I wear a size 13), and are the perfect balance between comfort and style. I ordered the white/gray color pattern, which will be good for the summer. Arrived on time and brand new.

  • Great shoes but sole needs a lot of work
Size: 10 Color: Gray/Lime
I really like these shoes, this is my second pair , the first I just finished training for a marathon in. Both pairs the soles wear down too quickly , I really wish Altra would fix this as seems like it's a common complaint Picture of soles is after 43 miles in the shoes, already the heel is wearing down ... show more
