Altra Men's Escalante 4 Running Shoes

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.

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 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 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 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.

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!

I mix up my running between the road and trails. These are great for both! My feet feel happy and stronger than ever!

I am a bicycle mechanic, so a black pair of light, comfortable shoes is essential.
