I needed something I could stand in all day and I was always looking for shoes with more room in the toes, the Paradigms that I got gave me both and I'm very pleased! My wife loves her Escalantes too!

Very comfortable shoe. I wear orthopedic inserts so I sized up and they fit perfect. I will buy more colors.

I am a nurse and these shoes feel great all day. I have two pairs now that I alternate and I will buy them again.

This is my third pair of Escalantes and fourth pair of Altras. I use them for running (light) and all of my walking and non-backpacking hiking. I love these shoes, my feet feel like they've slipped into clouds. I don't wear the escalates in rain, mud, etc because the mesh fabric allows wet and dirt in too easily. I have another pair of Altras for those circumstance. But I love the Escalantes. They are my most comfortable shoes, bar none.

I've been running in these for yrs now and was terrified when I saw the reviews for the 2s. I didn't think I'd find a replacement. Luckily, Altra listened and brought back a solid feel for the 2.5s.

I walk four miles per day, and these are my second pair. I love the nice wide toe box and I love the zero drop heel. My favorite walking shoes yet!!

I decided to give these a try as an alternative to the Hokas I've worn for at least 10 years. Main needs are cushioning for sore shins and a roomy toe box. I ordered a half size up as well. These are terrific shoes. Much less bulky than Hokas and very comfortable. I have already ordered a second pair. BTW, I use these for everyday wear, not running.

I love a shoe that does not squish my toes together and this one is great. I do wish they has a wide choice on them though. They are light and very supportive. Will buy again.

Love these! Tried Merrell Trail Glove many years ago and had to add an insert for pronation. These are fantastic! Feel 1/2 size bigger. I am solidly a 7.5 (sometimes 8) in running shoes. A 7 was good for me here.

I needed a shoe just for every day wear, as I am on my feet a lot. I am amazed at how comfortable these shoes are! I have never had a pair similar to them

I bought these shoes and wore them for long stretches right away. They were so comfortable and my feet were very happy. Normally when I get new shoes I have to break them in and put bandaids on my heals but these shoes were instantly comfortable and supportive.

I'm using these shoes to train for a 10k. I like the width, how cushiony but light they are, and the zero gravity makes me have better posture so I actually have less back pain while running. I love the style too!

Wear these for work, on my feet for 12 hour shifts. Love them so much I plan to stick with this style forever. Ill never buy any other running shoe. Love the all black. Would also like all gray. Not fond of the bright colors too much.

Comfy, zero drop shoes that are perfect every time. I hope Altra changes nothing about these shoes, except adding more colors. I've got 3 so far.

The only athletic shoes I can wear comfortably.
- Plenty of toe room, even while wearing orthotics,
- I wear my shoes everyday so I add protective fabric inside the back heal and at the toe to increase wear length,
- I spray them with water repellent, which keeps them clean and look great,
- I've had 4 pairs now and have had my 2nd pair for 3 years before retiring to "yard shoes".

I like this shoe. I've lived in the minamallist Lems Primal 2 for four years. I am not unhappy with them but my old, low volume feet needed more padding. The upper of Escalante 2.5 is flexible and easily accommodates my tailor's bunion. I tried the black pair first but the wide toe box seemed to captivate my attention. I tried the dusty pink and was satisfied with the look. I think the two tone pink and the light green tongue helps draw the eye away from the wide toe box . Correct Toes fit great with this shoe. I use them for walking/jogging and everyday wear. I didn't think the color would go with much of anything I wear, but I was wrong. I'm happy to find another comfortable and natural foot shaped shoe.

I have tried a number of running shoe brands. Altra is by far my favorite. I am on my 3rd pair of the Escalante 2.5s! Leaving room for my big toe to move and breathe is super key for me. I also love that they are minimal but not too minimal; I can feel the ground but there is still a little cushion.
I used to get pretty chronic Achilles tendinitis but haven't had any pain since switching over to The Escalantes.
I also have a pair of their hiking boots. The hiking boots are super durable, sturdy and have a great grip.
I will be a forever customer!

I have one bad foot due to going to the wrong podiatrist. I have had 2 surgeries on one foot, did not help and refuse to try again, even though I finally found a really good podiatrist. He recommended Altras. I now own 5 pairs. The women's Escalante 2.5 really seems to be the best for me. I got the white ones - wear to the gym and love them. Then my husband said get another pair, so I got the dusty pink ones. Love them. No shoes are completely comfortable for my 'bad' foot, but Altra's have made life better! I buy one half side larger so I can wear with my padded socks to the gym.

I'm 79 and recently had a second bunion surgery. Obviously not a runner, but the wide toe box and fabric construction have been a welcome relief.

I love the width! After bunion surgery all my shoes felt too tight around the toes or didn't have enough cushion. These are my favorites!! So happy I bought them!

I am a repeat customer of Escalante 2.5. I love this shoe because it fits my foot so well. Altra has updated the look. It's much more stylish, and I love the color! They did eliminate the sixth eyelet which disappointed me. That being said, it doesn't seem to affect my heel fit or movement so far. I will definitely be purchasing again!
