Description

Compared to other shoes in the Altra line, the Escalante 3 arguably digs the deepest into the technology bag. With this all-purpose running shoe, there aren’t many activities you can’t blast through or landscapes you can’t leave in the dust.

It feels natural and the upper disappears on the foot due to the knit material and anatomical toe box.

It’s all well and good to have fancy names for everything, but how do these technologies cushion the foot? These are by no means heavy-duty trail shoes, but they also maintain their grip on light trails and uneven terrain. The weight has come down a little bit from the previous model, which is consistent from all brands this season. While some stronger runners or zero-drop-only folks may be able to handle long distances in these shoes with ease, the sweet spot for me is around 6 to 10 kilometres.

For our medium-width feet, we believe that this version resolves the sloppy fit of the past iterations. The Altra Ego foam is extremely comfortable, and Escalante newcomers and longtime fans alike will love the soft feel of these zero-drop trainers. Overall, most of the updates to this model were minor, but they contribute to a better feel and more comfort for the wearer. Generally speaking though the upper does fit well from both a length, width, and comfort standpoint.While the Escalante 3 should still be considered a light shoe, reviewers were slightly disappointed by the added heft. A wide, gently rounded FootShape™ toe box provides room for toes to spread and assume a natural foot shape for increased comfort and stability.

David: The Altra Escalante is a low riding running shoe that has some cross over into daily wear as well. While I would not use the Escalante 3 for intervals due to its weight, I could see this being a marathon pace shoe for some runners who like a more substantial marathon pace shoe. If you have been using shoes/running shoes with a high heel then your feet and lower legs won’t have been working.The midsole is responsive enough to give you a bit of spring when you want to run quickly and yet soft enough to happily trot along as a slow pace. Follow myself and the select few who contribute on our journey to help you understand your body and the shoes you wear. It has a sleek, uncomplicated look and standard colors like blue, white, black, teal, and orange, except the Women’s “Fierce” model — flower and cheetah print!
