Customer Reviews Altra Escalante 4

These running shoes have been some of the most comfortable I have ever worn. They are load of the ground with no rocking motion allowed me to go on an easy 5 mile run with my legs feeling good and my feet feeling good afterwards. The material that the shoes are made out of is durable and the shoes are super lightweight. Definitely go and get these if you want every day running shoe that you will love.

Thank you Altra for the free Escalante 4s to trial! These shoes are springy and FAST! I found they were most suited for shorter and quicker runs, but the wide toe box keeps you comfortable for longer uses. The cushioning is nice for a quick run or running errands, but I would not recommend this shoe for someone looking for an ultra comfort shoe for 12+ hrs a day. Overall, would definitely recommend for someone looking for a short to medium distance shoe for faster runs!

These are a great pair of shoes! The design is refreshing and have a modern look and feel to them. The wider toe design ensures maximum comfort for my toes, allowing them to move freely during running. The shoes are well suited for running, walking and speed walking, which I do a lot of daily.. I like how comfortable and supportive these shoes are for my feet, thanks for the cushion and midsole foams. Very nice in terms of how flexible these shoes are.. Overall, these are a pair of high quality shoes that really suit my lifestyle. I definitely recommend this product to others!

I love these shoes! They are so incredibly comfortable and let your feet really breathe and not feel cramped. The padding around the ankle is also great so you don't have any issues with chaffing or blistering.

I'm an avid runner and hiker these sneakers are the most comfortable pair I have worn. There is so much room for my toes that I no longer feel any pain while running or walking. It's as if I'm stepping on a cloud each time I take step or run.

The Altra Escalante 4 shoes are praised for their comfort, performance, and natural feel, especially favored by runners who prefer zero-drop shoes with a wide toe box. They're lightweight, responsive, and flexible, suitable for various runs from daily training to longer distances. Overall, if you seek a comfortable, zero-drop option with a natural feel, the Altra Escalante 4 is worth considering.

These shoes are a game-changer! The Altra Escalante 4 feels incredibly lightweight, almost like you're running on clouds. They have a perfect balance of cushioning and responsiveness, making them great for everyday runs or picking up the pace for interval training. I wasn't sure about the zero-drop platform at first, but it's grown on me. My form feels more natural, and I haven't experienced any aches or pains since switching to these shoes. The wider toe box is another big plus - there's plenty of room for your toes to splay comfortably.

The Men's Escalante 4 shoes are my ultimate choice for both work and play. Working in a factory setting requires me to be on my feet and moving around a lot, and these shoes provide the perfect blend of style and comfort for my long workdays. The sleek design makes them stand out, while the knit upper and Altra EGO midsole ensure that my feet stay comfortable and supported throughout the day. Whether I'm on the factory floor or out and about, these shoes are my trusted companions, keeping me comfortable from morning till night.

I really liked them, I've been using them for 7 days, I go to the gym and I like to run outdoors and they are very comfortable and light. Before I used the Nike Free Metcon 4, but I feel more comfortable with the Escalante 4...

Thanks Altra for the free pair of Men's Escalante 4!!! These shoes are great for multiple reasons. Throughout my life, I've always searched for shoes that have a bit more room in the front, since I have a wide forefoot. Compared to other running shoes I've owned, these shoes are lightweight and don't cause blistering in my toes after a long run. The material is high quality. I would certainly buy this product and recommend it to friends & family. The only downside is the off white color will get dirty easily.

From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the comfort and support they offered.One of the standout features of these shoes is their exceptional comfort. The plush cushioning provides a soft landing with each stride, making my runs feel effortless. Whether I was pounding the pavement or hitting the trails, my feet felt well-supported and cushioned throughout my entire run.Aside from comfort, the Men's Escalante 4 offers excellent performance. The lightweight design and responsive midsole allowed for a natural and efficient stride, enhancing my overall running experience. I found that I could maintain my pace comfortably without feeling weighed down by bulky shoes.

The cushion is the most important part of the shoe imo. I am loving it

Love the shoes

I really enjoy these shoes, very light comfortable and now my go to shoes to run with!!! I like the style and color on them as well. They have good structure as well without sacrificing the weight of them!

I would say this is a shoe for walking / casual . Definitely not for a long distance runner. Good for a walk at the park or trail.

Great, comfortable shoes both for running and everyday use. However, colors are not quite right. As other reviews mention, the Black (my first pair, which I love) is not quite black. I ordered the White/Gray colorway directly from Altra, and the colors were off. The tongue is a much lighter gray than it appears online, white uppers have the slightest mint green tinge, and the green on the outsole is much duller in person. I returned the White/Gray and ordered another pair from another retailer to check if it was a one-off manufacturing issue, but the second White/Gray pair had the same issues.

Was purchased due to arches starting to flatten out and a very tight calf / Achilles, stretching and wearing these have greatly improved what I thought was a plantar fasciitis..

The only reason these are not a five stars is because I miss the Escalante three. In the world of overly stacked sneakers that look like you're running on mattresses, I love the simplicity and cushioning of this shoe. It would be nice to see more color choices as well. The three had just a little more cushioning and I got more life out of that shoe. Please bring it back!

I train for my Triathlons in this shoe and overall I'm happy, my only complaint was the craftsmanship. Within the first couple times I wore it the tongue separated from the shoe on one side.

My every day walking shoe. Plan to tour Europe in these.

I've had the OG Escalante's, the 2.5s, the 3s, and now have ~550 miles on the 4s (in highlighter yellow). The 4s are probably my favorite pair to date - light weight, comfortable, and relatively responsive. My biggest complaint as I look for a new pair is the available color ways. Only one option that isn't some sad shade of beige or gray...seriously?!? Running shoes should be loud, fun colors. Maybe one or two color ways for people who daily these shoes to work, but other than that make something bold!

These are my fourth pair of Escalantes. I've had the originals, the 2.5s, the 3's and now the 4's. Currently I have about 550 miles on my pair of 4's and this version is by far my favorite since the OG version. Comfortable, light, and overall pretty durable. I'm about to pull the trigger on a new pair, but sheesh are the current colors BORING. What gives? Running shoes should be loud and garish...not everyone wants a bland color. I get it for people that daily these as work shoes etc, but at the very least offer a few color ways that aren't some variation of sad gray or beige...4/5, would be 5/5 shoes if there were better color options.

Correction to my earlier comment: Escalante 4 tongues tendency to slide outside is not a dealbreakerstill a wearable shoe. I'm very glad Altra offers shoes with the "Original Footshape." Extra width crucial for my feet, which have bunionettes. I use the shoes for walking and light strength training.

These are very comfortable and just what I need. After walking in them for months, however, the cushioning seems to have worn down so that they are less so, and the outer sole is considerably more worn than I would expect. This isn't my first pair of Altras to have this problem! I don't know what it is about them, but they all seem to wear too quickly. Altra, PLEASE invest in better material for the soles of your shoes. Perhaps they should all be Vibram.

Great zero-drop shoe. Here are things to look out for: 1. Yes, they wear out quicker than other brands. 2. Uh, yeah... the black version isn't black. It's objectively navy (I'm a film colorist).
