One of Altra's most popular shoes, the low slung Escalante has just got considerably better with some key improvements. This minimalist shoe is one for the purist.
The upper of the Escalante 2.0 has been upgraded to a more structured knit for an improved more comfortable and more breathable fit. A more resilient and durable polyurethane insole improves the close to the foot feel. Grid-like grooves have been added in both the midsole and outsole for increased flexibility, reduced weight, and a smoother overall ride.
The special sauce of this shoe is still the EGO midsole foam which serves up an impressive amount of cushioning and responsiveness from a relatively thin layer of cushioning material.
So if you are looking for a featherweight shoe with Altra's characteristics of a wide forefoot and a zero drop, the Escalante 2 offers the versatility of an everyday trainer with a touch of speed in its pedigree.....and perfect for the treadmill.
