Customer Reviews Altra Escalante Racer

These laces win races and last for 600 miles - the most breathable flexible, no/low drop, wide toe box shoes in the world. Now they're gone. The Racer 2s left us shoeless and I don't know where to go.

Please bring the racers back. Only shoes that works for us, my son and I bought dozens of racers in the past.

I am in the same boat as many of the reviewers I've read. I have written to your company more than once. Your original escalantes were amazing. I vowed to buy nothing but them forever. Then, they changed. The sizes were smaller and I was told, by your company, to order a half-size bigger. The problem with the extra sizing is that I have narrow heels and the extra space there causes pain when I walk a long way. Now, you aren't even continuing the shoes. I need flat, completely flat, shoes, and a toe-box that is roomy and mobile. My two feet are not the same. I have really been happy with the shoes you used to make. I wish I had bought 100 of them. I thought to do so. They allowed my feet to breathe. Maybe you will reconsider discontinuing the original escalantes, please. The most recent number of a shoe that seemed to work was: ALW1933B440 or 508703 01-23. Thank you. Lisa

Yes please, bring it back - but not in clown colors! I wear my running shoes all the time because my knees can't handle walking around in fancy shoes. Some non-contrasting, mellow, natural colors would be ideal! My TIMP 4s that I LOVE are a dark blue, easy on the eyes greens are great as well.

As countless others have mentioned, the original Escalante Racers are the best running shoes that Altra has made. Please keep making this model. They'll sell very well and keep customers happy. Thanks!

BRING THESE SHOES BACK. We love them. The only shoes my son and I worked. Escalate 4 are squishy. They were hurting his foot and it's annoying , the insoles are moving around when he's running .

Please never stop making the racer.. it has been my favorite running shoe for the last 6 years. I have tried your newer models not a good shoe for me. Sticking to what works better

My PT recommended these. I own 4 pairs; most are worn out and I'm replacing insoles bc I can't find comparable replacement. Tried other Altra's, Xero, Vivo, Grounded. Hope you bring these back soon.

I have tried a lot of zero drop shoes and these are by far the most comfortable, supportive (just the right amount of cushion) and best fitting sneakers I have ever worn. They felt amazing right out of the box. They are just the right fit for my narrower feet with ample toe room. But, they are discontinued!! Why???! I want to buy another pair before they are gone

What will it take to get Altra to bring this model back? As many others have stated, this exact model fit best and the others in the escalante series can't compare. Why deviate from it? Please reconsider the decision of discontinuing this model. We're begging you! :(

This is the greatest running shoe ever. I have tried many others and nothing comes close. The new version is not the same. Please bring them back!

Love this shoe more than any other Altra / minimalist shoe ever! They don't compare to any other Altra's I've tried - Torin 7, Lone Peak 8, Escalante Racer 2. I've struggled with calf and ankle issues, and these are the only ones that help. I don't know what shoe I'm going to use once these wear out because nothing else seems to work like these do. Bring them back PLEASE!

Great for running! My favorite run shoe of all time. The racer 2 is so disappointing, forcing me to ditch Altra altogether. Please bring these back!

The Escalante Race 2 is NOT better. Why would you discontinue a perfect shoe? Please bring this shoe back!!!!!

Best running and walking shoe I've ever had. Came to buy my 4th pair and saw they're discontinued?!
