Men's Escalante 4 Road Running Shoe

Being wide in the toe box, it’s a good idea to wear them for awhile before wearing them driving. Getting used to the extra width on the pedals is a good idea. They are comfortable.

Great shoes. Very light weight and comfortable.

I have been wearing barefoot shoes for years BUT needed a shoe e a bit more! These seem to have it all! Wide toe box, zero rise and some support. Nice quality shoe.

Overall, these Altra Escalante running shoes performed quite well. The light weight really lends to less fatigue as well as the comfortable toe box area, which has some stretch as well. Easily handled the natural swelling of the feet after prolonged activity. I dropped a star due to the traction issue. On dry pavement, it worked great, however the moment the ground gets wet, I had to slowdown and tread carefully as i noticed slippage. I don't feel very confident when running during a light rain or on wet surfaces. I will also note that it did take a little breaking in period because of the zero-drop nature. My calves were getting more of a work out while acclimating to the shoe.

This has become my everyday shoe. It's comfortable, firm-footed, and the wide toe box feels amazing for my feet. I have a very wide forefoot and a normal width heel, and Altra's shoe shape just works so well for my feet. Since this is one of Altra's more minimal running shoes, it functions as a sneaker pretty well. The sole is comfortably firm and not too bouncy, so it feels stable to stand in. Full cushion running shoes can feel a little too bouncy for everyday use for my liking. The rocker is also pretty minimal, so I don't get the feeling of rolling forward when just standing around. To be clear, the sole is not a fully minimalist design; it's thin for a running shoe but still has a good thickness to it compared to standard sneakers. Thus it's comfortable and easy to wear all day. I'm a big fan of the balance they struck here. Highly recommend this shoe!

The Altra brand is truly Fabulous! Seller was Charm City Run who shipped these fast and competitively priced. I’ve run in other brands of wide toe box shoes - just not as good out of the gate. Between the toe box, arch support & low drop profile the escalante is wonderful.

Very comfortable. Use these for running only as is if you walk in them they seem to wear quickly. Inaccurate color listing. Do these shoes look black to you? Very disappointed.

These have been my favorite of the barefoot/wide toe box shoes that I’ve tried. Some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve had while looking much more like a traditional sneaker. I’ll buy another pair once I run these into the ground.

oe these run good higher sole, softer cushion than racer2. better stable than esc. 2.5

The Escalante 4 are the second pair of Altra trainers that I own and thankfully these are just as good as the first pair. The level of comfort from these shoes are a massive part of the overall reason why I like the brand. The wider fit and more natural shape to the shoe, does an excellent job of supporting the foot and avoiding cramping, especially when wearing a thicker material sport sock. Whilst these trainers do an excellent job when used for sporting activity, I use them on a daily basis for work. They look great with a pair of jeans as part of a smart/casual dress code, and their perfect for walking through town of a lunchtime, or even walking home after work. They're versatility in that regard make them an ideal shoe choice for a daily wear, as well as an activity-only sport shoe. The brand speaks for itself and the Escalante 4 are an excellent addition to their line-up. An easy one to recommend.

Such a comfortable shoe! Will definitely buy again. Lightweight and great for travelling.

Fort confortable et parmi les plus respirantes que j'ai essayées.

I find that I have GREAT trouble in finding shoes that don't hurt. They are all too narrow but these shoes are a bit like not having shoes on. They are extremely comfortable.
