About this product
The Escalante has always been the choice for runners who want to feel the road without sacrificing comfort, and the Altra Escalante 5 makes that case more convincingly than ever.
A new versatile engineered knit upper brings added stretch to the fit, moving naturally with your foot through every phase of your stride, while a chenille lined tongue delivers a softness that's immediately noticeable the moment you slip the shoe on. The Altra EGO midsole keeps the ride responsive and grounded staying true to the zero-drop geometry Altra is built on.
Altra also revisited the collar design with this version, dialing in a fit around the heel and ankle that stays secure and distraction-free across long efforts. An updated outsole with additional rubber coverage rounds things out, giving the Escalante 5 more confident traction on a wider range of surfaces than its predecessor without adding bulk to the minimalist, low-profile platform runners come to this shoe for.
