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!

    • Stellar comfort, could be more durable
Size: 10 Color: Black/White
I've had 4 pairs of Altra Escalantes since 2022, two pairs of gen 2 and now on my second pair of gen 4. I wear them all day, every day for walking and light running. All of them have been some of the most fantastically lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear shoes I've ever worn. Not quite "minimalist shoes", but far less obstructive feeling than most other brands. I forget they're even on my feet most of the time. I can't go back to wearing shoes with a drop, weird arch support, or heavy materials anymore. One advantage of current generation (4) over gen 2 is that the fit is more true to size: I normally wear size 10, and indeed I can wear a size 10 of the Escalante 4. They fit as expected. The previous generations were less consistent. One downside is that they're seemingly less durable. My first daily wear pair of gen 4 had the tread worn down and had fabric start to rip in the heel within 6-7 months of wearing them. That's not too bad, but my gen 2 pairs lasted about twice as long, so a bit unfortunate to see. Would like to see deeper rubber tread and slightly better fabric construction for future versions, even if they end up being a few grams heavier. ... show more

    • 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

    • Good quality. Very comfortable.
Size: 13 Color: Dark Shadow
Being wide in the toe box, it’s a good idea to wear them for awhile before wearing them driving. Getting used to the extra width on the pedals is a good idea. They are comfortable.

    • Light, Comfortable, Breathable, Good For Walking, and Look Good Too.
I only have a few miles of walking on these, but I like them so far. I am heavier at 6', 230 and usually walk 5 miles per day, broken up into shorter distances (usually no more than a mile at a time.) My right foot is wider than my left, and my pinky toe is often problematic. It does rub a bit in these shoes (left foot if perfect). I find that as I use them, and once I get walking, they seem to work fine, I don't have any pain after walking. My right pinky toe issue is my problem and does not have anything to do with the shoes themselves. Maybe I need an extra wide shoe on my right foot. These shoes are very light, seem to breathe really well, and I like the way they look; understated, a bit sporty, but no over-the-top graphics. They are very nice when I am in motion, but would not be comfortable to stand around in all day (but if you were light in weight, they might be fine.) I don't expect them to last a long time (for me most modern shoes are shot at 300-500 miles). If I can get that much out of them, I will be happy. ... show more

    • My Second Pair
Size: 8 Color: Gray/Lime
These are the most comfortable all day shoes I’ve experienced. Lightweight, plenty of cushion, and particularly non binding on my feet !! Sizing seems to be right on for me at least..

    • My favorite Altra shoes yet!
** Keep in mind, I'm not some crazy advanced runner. I mostly use these shoes for running outside 4-6 miles when the weather is nice and for the gym. Haven't had the Escalante 4s for long but they have quickly become my favorite pair of Altra shoe's I've owned. I've had my ups and downs with Altra but I don't think there's an all around better brand right now for zero drop running/training shoes. My first pair were the Torin 6s and they immediately got me hooked with their great cushioning and stability. However, they did suffer from some quality issue with bits of the outsole rubber peeling off and the upper ripping slightly in places just a couple of months into owning them. Because of this I decided to give the Provision 8s a try since they had overall great reviews and I had the opposite issue; they held up super well but I didn't love how they felt and eventually ended up with foot pain and shin splints. Later I realized this was my fault for not doing more research before buying them since neutral shoes are best for my feet and these have support for pronation which likely was part of the issue. Now giving the Escalante 4s a go they just feel like a lighter, snappier Torin (which I love)! My feet aren't getting fatigued in them and there's enough cushion to not feel like my battering my legs on the road like some more minimal shoes can do. If you want a great all around zero drop running/trianing shoe, give these a try. Hopefully they hold up just as well as my old Provisions did. ... show more

    • Great!
Size: 8 Color: White/Gray
These have been my favorite of the barefoot/wide toe box shoes that I’ve tried. Some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve had while looking much more like a traditional sneaker. I’ll buy another pair once I run these into the ground.
