The Altra Escalante 5 is Altra's zero-drop road trainer, built for runners who want a natural, connected ride for daily miles, travel and everyday wear. Staying true to its winning formula, it blends balanced cushioning, natural flexibility and a roomy forefoot into a lightweight shoe that works just as well off the run as it does on it.
Altra's EGO midsole foam delivers a modest, medium layer of cushioning with just the right hint of squish and bounce, sitting on a completely level, zero-drop platform that encourages a natural foot strike and stronger, more engaged stride over time. An updated engineered knit upper wraps the foot in a soft, sock-like fit, while a refreshed rubber outsole improves grip and durability for running, the gym and daily wear. A dependable choice for runners easing into zero-drop training or looking for an everyday shoe that moves the way their feet do.
