Description
The Altra Escalante 4 is a zero-drop, low-stack daily trainer that blends minimalist design with modern comfort. Drawing inspiration from the popular Escalante 1.5, this version offers significant updates in fit and performance.
Performance and Ride
The Escalante 4 features Altra’s EGO midsole, delivering a soft yet responsive ride. Its flexibility is notable, requiring only 8.2N of force to bend, compared to the average 15.7N for running shoes . This flexibility enhances ground feel, making it ideal for runners seeking a natural stride. However, the softer midsole may compress faster over time, potentially reducing its lifespan for high-mileage runners .
Fit and Upper
A significant change in the Escalante 4 is its fit. While it retains Altra’s signature wide toe box, the overall volume is reduced, especially in the midfoot and toe areas. This snugger fit may not suit those accustomed to the roomier feel of previous versions . The flexible knit upper offers some adaptability, but runners with wider feet might need to size up or consider alternative models
