It’s the simplicity and FootShape fit of the Escalante but even faster. We made it leaner, meaner, lighter, and more responsive. Whether it’s starting lines, speed workouts, or fast training runs, this road shoe is all of the fast you need to bust through some PRs and win some segments. It’s got an updated engineered knit upper for a comfortable and breathable fit. It’s got Altra EGO™ midsole foam for responsiveness and direct connection to the ground, with a touch of firmness. We kept a lot of the great features of the classic Racer, including the low 22mm stack height for quick turnover and a roomy toe box and zero drop for natural movement. The Escalante Racer 2 is one of the most direct, no-BS shoes we’ve ever crafted. Review: Comfortable for long road runs - Comfortable and lightweight, and they have good ventilation and dry quickly. They are zero drop and have a wide toe box. I'm transitioning to barefoot shoes and these are ideal for longer road runs. I've done a half marathon in them with no issues. Can't say how long they'll last but I've done 45 miles so far and can't see any wear yet. There was a good review on runrepeat and I couldn't find the normal Escalante in my size, so got these instead, and I think they might be better. Review: Good - So far so good, the mesh keeps your feet fresh but if think of using them in rain you will end up with wet feet. Otherwise, enough room in toe box

Good but expensive
Good but expensive really, without a real reason why!

Longer than expected
Found these to be longer than my Altra Olympus- and therefore had to send back- great on width, but too long- I am going to try a size 10.5 instead. Tried the 10.5 but still too long : (

Nice, but narrow!
I've been working my way through zero drop -> barefoot style trainers. Altra come highly recommended amongst zero-drop, minimalist enthusiast...however if you're after them for their claim to have a wide foot shape, I'd give them a miss!! The Escalante Racer 2 are extremely lightweight, with a low stack height. The upper feels quite hard and has a visibly open knit to it. Great for someone with hot feet, not so good if you want to keep your feet warm!! I found them very narrow in the midfoot and the toe box wasn't wide enough either (UK size 9, 11cm wide feet!).

Une fois la chaussure enfilée, on se demande pourquoi il subsiste un tel espace à l'arrière et sur les cotés du talon... une espèce de vide sanitaire qu'on ne retrouve pas sur L'escalante 4 et dont on se demande à quoi il peut bien servir !?

Quando aggiornano delle scarpe da running con cui mi sono trovato benissimo, ho sempre il timore di aggiornamenti che stravolgono la bontà della versione precedente. Timore infondato stavolta. In più, trovate ad un prezzo molto interessante su amazon (105€, quando altra le vende a 140€)

The shoes are comfortable and a big change from my conventional running shoes. The wide toe-box area makes the shoe very comfortable for running. I bought the shoes as a transitional shoe from my normal running shoes to barefoot running shoes and to cover my training for a half marathon. So far I ran in them ca. 150 km and they held up well. I would recommend them to everyone, who is looking for a more agronomical and comfortable running shoes for transitioning to minimalist barefoot style running to keep up with training needs.

I ordered an earlier version of these 3 years ago. Just had to retire them. The newer version is just as comfortable. Wider toe box, I can lift weights in them as they are flatter. My new favorite pair.
