Why We Like The Altra Escalante 4 Running Shoe

Put in the miles with the Altra Escalante 4 Running Shoe. Featuring a lightweight, low-profile design, the Escalante 4 Running Shoe was designed to go fast and keep us comfortable. The medium cushions ensure we are supported while keeping an efficient stride, and the 0mm drop combined with the roomy toe box ensures we have a natural feeling shoe. The Altra Ego midsole cushions our feet over rough terrain, while the rubber outsole throws down reliable traction in all scenarios.

Lightweight shoe that handles the mileage

Love these shoes. Recently moved from the forward experiences (now the experience flow I believe) and happy I did. Very natural feel and lightweight. I would buy again.

Enough cushion for pavement but not crazy high stack

Great shoes. I've been on a search for shoes that have enough cushion for road running after getting tendinitis from running in too barefoot of a shoe. These feel great but don't feel like I'm running in stilts like the higher stack shoes. Really glad I found these.

I wanted to love these so bad!

I was so stoked to hear that Altra was finally going back to the original design of the Escalante. I loved this shoe right when I tried it on. Stake height is great, wide feel is amazing. But only 190 miles in to my marathon training and the tread has almost completely worn out and is falling off the sole. This adds significant setbacks to my training now that I have to find a new pair of shoes at such a low mileage. I was so excited for this return to quality to be disappointed with it falling apart.

Purchased Mens instead of Womens Wide

I wasn't thrilled with any of the women's models/colors in wide width, so I decided to purchase the Men's Escalante 4 (mens regular is equivalent to womens wide width) instead. I wear a 10-10.5 wide in womens and went with the mens size 9 in black/white - perfect fit. Of course I wish the color was a bit more feminine, but at least there was a neutral option! I'm new to the wide toe box, zero drop but I'm absolutely in love with this shoe & hope I never have to go back to traditional tennis shoes. Zero-drop requires some adjustment time - my calves have been BURNING on walks, so I've had to slow it down. FYI I tried Flux footwear first, but they are ridiculously narrow, so I had to return (also beware their return policy). I wear my new altras for walking and strength training primarily, and I plan to wear them when I visit London for 10 days in October. So happy with my purchase overall. One critique is I'd like to see more wide-width options for women.

I will definitely purchase original fit Altras again

I do a lot of hiking/walking. I have had Altra for years, problem is my right foot had an injury and is wider. The original fit Altra fit perfect. Sadly this original fit seemed to have disappeared. Luckily I found this pair with original fit. Happy customer

Great shoes, perfect for road running.

Great for road running. Escalante 3 felt too small on the top of my foot. Went up 1/2 size and this fits perfect. Will buy again.

I would buy this product again but not directly from Altra

Purchased these through the Altra site. The fit was not correct. Great difficulty reaching a human to initiate return. It's been over 3 weeks and still haven't heard from Altra about shoes arriving.

Size is to small... go up 1/2 a size

This model is way too small. Out of the box, they felt like they fit, but when running, I realized they were too small. My third and fourth toes constantly rub and give me hot spots. My other Altras are the same size and are perfect. Maybe it is a QC issue?

Best Escalante yet. Please don't change it!!!

Great shoe. Best running shoe Altra has put out in a long time. More supportive than the Escalante 2.5 and without the annoying rim in the toe box. Doesn't have all the unnecessary padding of the Escalante 3. Fantastically wide toe box true to the OG Altra design, as compared to some recent models. Might be just a little lower volume in the mid-foot but not in a bad way, and makes the it feel more supportive for a minimalist type shoe. Heel is a bit stiff out of the box and rubbed a little on back of my ankle, but seems like it will break in nicely with a few runs so not worried about it. This is my favorite Escalante model to date. As a long time Altra fan, I find it so frustrating how models change so dramatically from one rendition to the next. Please just leave this one alone!

Good shoe, that doesn't last

Good shoe however, it does not last. I love the feel and the large toe box however after less than two months the heel was worn through, and the shoe lost its support. For the cost not worth it!
