Why We Like The Escalante Racer Running Shoe

On race day, we lace up the Escalante Racer Running Shoe that gives us the same fit of the original but with a livelier ride. The foam underfoot is slightly firmer, giving back more energy with every stride as we drive for a spot on the podium.

BLACK AND WHITE CLASSIC COLORS PLEASE

Please just black color with white or gray details if necessary for Escalante and hike shoes for women like before. Not all customers like colorings! Why not to keep colors and styles that have been a success?! Three stars because the colors option and I will not buy with the colors available.

Love the shoe, hate the laces

Love the fit and feel of these shoes! Just enough cushion that my knees and shins don't hurt, but not too much that I feel unstable. I do have one gripe though... the laces are so short I can barely tie them. Will definitely have to get some different laces.

I will buy another pair!

My feet are very particular about shoes. These feel great! Light and comfortable and supportive.

Fantastic running shoes

I've been looking for running shoes that would help my foot pain when I run because I have bunions and these shoes are AMAZING! I've had no pain running, they are light and running is enjoyable again! Absolutely would buy again!!

Just Purchased My Second Pair

By far the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. I used my first pair while training for a half marathon and probably got about 500 miles out of them. The wide toe box and zero drop also makes them perfect for weightlifting and cross training. My only grievances are the large holes in the top fabric (water and small gravel will get through) and the dang shoelaces are long and come untied all the time- but nothing a double knot can't fix! Also bought a pair for the husband and he loves them as much as I do. Would love to see Altra make them in some more muted colors- color choices are a little "loud" for my taste.

Love these for weightlifting and running

Appreciate the wide toe box so that my toes aren't restricted during weightlifting. Trainers also advise to wear shoes with zero drop. I have two pairs now and don't want to go back to another brand I've been wearing for years. Love the light weight and attractive design.

Perfect for Burn Bootcamp and Sprints

Whether it's a metcon or leg day...it's perfect for a variety of workouts. Being able to feel the ground with jump lunges or squats, makes the flexibility of this shoe crucial. So many compliments.

Almost great

I can't stand shoelaces!!!!!!! WHEN is Altra going to use velcro????? Not only do I not like shoelaces...but Altra's seem SHORT, makeing me dislike yours even more. What a shame to ruin these great shoes with yucky shoelaces. VELCRO is where it's at, Altra. When ya gonna get at it??

Exactly what I needed

These are exactly what I needed: wide toe box and zero drop (I have a Morton's Neuroma), and enough padding in the sole to be comfy to walk on concrete for extended periods of time. Also, they look very normal when you're wearing them (aside from when you look at them from directly above)... when viewing them from the front and side view there's an optical illusion of normal-shaped running shoes, which I really appreciate. I tried another brand (starts with "T") before this and had to return them because the arch support was really really weird and uncomfortable. So I'm very grateful that I found these Altra shoes... now the only question in my mind is how long will they last? Reviews online are iffy in that regard...

They ruined these.

This is the third time that I've bought this exact same model of shoes. The first two pairs were great, but on this pair (I ordered the gray ones this time), they had added a stiff plastic piece in the heel of the shoe that rubbed the back of my heels raw. The sole of the shoe also felt stiffer. I don't know what happened to these, because they used to be great. I will probably never buy a pair of Altras again after this. I feel like the company is going downhill, which is a shame because not a lot of companies do zero drop shoes with cushion. Thanks for ruining these.
