Excellent Comfort But Quality Lacking

Difficult review to write cuz I really like the shoe the lightness, cushion, structure of the shoe if that's the right word but the quality has seem to have dropped being the heel fabric wore out after a few months it's like I have holes in the back heel

Great Fit

She is are true to size and break in very nice within one week. I purchased in advance of a trip and they were great for all the walking I did

Multiple Gen's, And Still Poor-wearing Material

Have lost count how many Escalante's I've gone through, and sometimes I feel like the fool for continuing to buy them. Going back to the 1st gen and now to the 4, fit has generally been great through the years for my needs, however have to give a big zero for durability. Acknowledging that lighter materials will wear quicker, this is ridiculous. The most recent pair of 4's and they look like this with maybe 50 miles on them? It's always the heel and the toe areas that start deteriorating. It's becoming hard for me to keep buying Altra when the uppers are shot long before even having to think about the midsole. This is how it starts, and by 100 miles the back of the heel is falling apart. I have one SmartWool version that interestingly didn't wear like that. Would think there would be a solution to this by now.

Horrible Warranty

Horrible quality. The eyelet broke in less than 2 months and altra would not honor the warranty

Great Runner

Wide toe box, zero drop show. Not overly cushioned, not a rocker. Just a classic running shoe.

Great Shoe

I have worn Altra shoes for many years. Love the wide toe box. The Escalante is light weight with just the right amount of cushioning.

Excellent Post Surgery Shoe For Me!

After two foot surgeries this year I’ve spent a lot of time and money trying to find shoes that not only fit comfortably but don’t make my feet hurt or have sharp pains and these are it. Definitely run small but the size I chose was a snug but good fit.

Not An Improvement Over Previous Model

My husband wore the previous model and really loved it. This one has a paper thin tongue, however, and the rest of the shoe felt cheap in comparison. We returned them.

Great Fit!

I bought these shoes a month ago to help with my plantar fasciitis. Love the wide toe box and secure fit. I now have two pairs! New to Altra shoes and I plan to stay.

Lightweight Shoe That Handles The Mileage

Love these shoes. Recently moved from the forward experiences (now the experience flow I believe) and happy I did. Very natural feel and lightweight. I would buy again.

Enough Cushion For Pavement But Not Crazy High Stack

Great shoes. I've been on a search for shoes that have enough cushion for road running after getting tendinitis from running in too barefoot of a shoe. These feel great but don't feel like I'm running in stilts like the higher stack shoes. Really glad I found these.

I Wanted To Love These So Bad!

I was so stoked to hear that Altra was finally going back to the original design of the Escalante. I loved this shoe right when I tried it on. Stake height is great, wide feel is amazing. But only 190 miles in to my marathon training and the tread has almost completely worn out and is falling off the sole. This adds significant setbacks to my training now that I have to find a new pair of shoes at such a low mileage. I was so excited for this return to quality to be disappointed with it falling apart.
