Customer Reviews Altra Escalante 4

I walk and jog a little

Love everything about this shoe! I bought the blue and in addition to the comfort it looks great. I hope want to buy another pair in white - I hope you will have more available so I can get my size!

Wow!! I've been using the Escalante since the beginning of version 2. I was highly disappointed with the changes made to version 3 and thought I'd never find a comparable shoe. But I must say I am once again a fan!! Altra listened and got it right with version 4!!! I cannot tell you how happy my feet are!!! Thank you so much Altra for the BEST running shoe ever (for wide, bunion repaired feet!)

Great running show, responsive, lite and good quality for at least 6 months

Got the all white as my clinic shoe & I love it! Would recommend for people who are on their feet all day, I promise, you won't be disappointed!!

Walking - recovering from knee replacement and these are perfect for balance and support

Kudos to Altra for actually listening to their customers and bringing back (with, dare I say, improvements that are actually improvements? Never has my narrow heel felt so nestled into a heel cup) the Escalante that so many of us fell in love with.

I've been a loyal Escalante runner since the 1.5. I hated the 3 series. I actually switched to the racer for my daily trainer bc the 3 series was too much shoe. THIS ONE IS THE OG!!!! I love it!!

Excellent shoe for long run/walk on asphalt trails. Lone Peak 8 is superb for dirt trails. Escalante 4 is superb for asphalt trails. Large toe box and snug heal holds the foot. Just the right amount of cushion - without being bounce-y. Highly recommended. (I will probably replace the laces - they easily untie themselves.)

Wow! I've been running with these sneakers for a few weeks now, and I can't say enough about them! The support is in full force and makes my long runs much easier on this almost 40-year-old mom. :) I also love the look! I highly recommend!

This is my first pair of Altra . I loved these running shoes so much, I even wore them everyday for work. They're great to run and walk in. Thinking about get another one for me and my mom. Highly recommend!

THIS SHOE ( altra ESCALANTE 4 ) IS LIKE THE ORIGINAL ESCALANTE I RAN THE MARINE CORPS MARATHON IN 2017. WHEN THE SHOES CHANGED 1.5, 2 , ETC.... I DISLIKED THE SHOE AND SWITCHED TO THE TORIN. I AM THRILLED TO BE BACK IN THE ESCALANTE. THE TONGUE, WOW WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT. RUN HAPPY MY FELLOW RUNNERS. BTW, THIS IS PROBABLY MY FIRST EVER REVIEW BECAUSE THE SHOE IS THAT GREAT.

I am so happy Altra listened to/ read all of the negative reviews of the last version of the Escalante! These are perfect straight out of the box, a return to my all time favorite running shoe! I have a bunion and Mortons Neuroma and these just work for me! I've been trying to replace them for the past few years - trying Topo, Hoka, Brooks and Asics! Thank you Altra!

Ran in these for the past week and an half including a 5k race. So far they're great. Light and responsive. Lighter than the 3s. Only issue is the laces were too small for the heel lock tying method. I swapped the laces for longer ones. The original neon yellow laces were ideal, but the white laces look good too.

These Altra Escalante 4 Women's Running shoes are wonderful. They are made with quality and designed with comfort in mind. I'm so grateful for Altra sending me these to try for free through the BzzAgent Sampling Program. All my life I have had to manage and deal with large and wide feet. I have always found it difficult to find shoes that fit. Thanks to this company I finally feel as if this shoe was made for me. The wide toe space makes running long distance extremely comfortable whereas other similar brands leave blisters. These shoes would be great for any long distance runners, or anyone with wide feet. If I could change one thing about the pair I received I would change the color from white to a darker color. I'm a trail runner and these got very dirty, quickly. Other than that I'm in love with these shoes and plan to buy another pair in a darker color.

These shoes were not part of a free sample program. The Escalante 1.5 has been a favorite of mine: I wore out four pairs and, just days before I saw that the 4 was available, began running in my last new, unworn pair of the 1.5. I had kept them in my room in the box and they had not deteriorated whatsoever. Still, I had to order the Escalante 4. THANK YOU, ALTRA, for resurrecting the 1.5. The 4 is a tiny bit longer which makes it true to size (at least for my 9.5 size foot it's perfect). It feels a little softer than the 1.5 underfoot. The colors are beautiful - I got the green (only wish the sole was purple, not tan). Again, thank you so much, Altra, for offering this wonderful shoe again. NOW, please resurrect the TORIN 4!!!

Absolutely love these shoes! Ever since I got them I have been wearing them on 12 hour shifts and my feet haven't hurt since. There is plenty of toe space so your foot doesn't feel cramped and the cushion is beyond belief!

These are so comfortable I would recommend to all the moms!

The shoe does it all and does it well. Effortlessly transitions from running to lifting. Agility work is a breeze and they're still perfect around town.

I was given this product in exchange for my honest review, and honestly, I love them! They are so comfortable to wear while running! I will note that I have had no problems while running, but oddly got a blister when wearing on a zoo day. That is it though!

Here's a review based on your input: "The Altra Escalante 4 women's shoes are simply amazing in every aspect you'd want in a shoe. They excel in comfort, style, and performance, making them a top choice for any active woman. Highly recommended!"

Like many others, I have been eagerly awaiting the Escalante 4, and it did not disappoint. I think fellow fans of the 2.5 will likely love the 4 as much as I do. They have all the freedom and flexibility of older Escalante versions while feeling just secure enough in the upper to not float around excessively. The fit through the midfoot is a huge improvement over the 3 and the toe space is downright luxurious. So far, I have done 18 mile and 14 mile runs in them and felt great all the way through both. I have high hopes these will keep feeling good for at least 300-400 miles, which is when I have usually needed to replace Escalantes in the past. It will be even better if they last longer, but we shall see! If you have liked versions of the Escalante prior to v3, I highly recommend trying the 4.

I received the Altra Escalante 4 running shoes from BzzAgent in exchange for my open and honest review. I'll begin by saying how incredibly excited I was to be trying these as I was already in the market to find some Altras for myself on a recommendation from my podiatrist! I have a mild bunion on my left foot and pretty severe recurring bunion (first surgery many years ago) on my right foot that prompted me to reach out to my podiatrist and ask about a running shoe that would support my unique feet. To be chosen for this campaign was a very happy surprise! I'm a relatively active female who's in her late 30s and on her feet constantly to chase around two little ones, so having a supportive set of running shoes is critical. It also doesn't hurt when those particular shoes happen to be aesthetically pleasing because I feel like one often has to sacrifice style for comfort and vice versa as was the case with other Nike, ASICS, and New Balance runners I've tried. Luckily, that is not the case with the Altra Escalante 4 runners! They're absolutely gorgeous looking and, despite having a wide toe box, manage to avoid looking clunky. I'll also add that these are true to size (tts) which is rarely the case for my feet. I tend to wear an 8.5 in boots and 8.5-9 in runners (sizing up often because I also have very long toes which tend to cramp up along the sides when squished), and when I opted for the 8.5, I was hoping they would fit tts which they did! My toes aren't squished, and I have room to wiggle my front foot without any heel slippage. Extra bonus is that my feet somehow feel even better than before I started running with these shoes on! The shoes are easy to lace up and stay tight (but not uncomfortably so) even after a long run. I tried them out today on a 4 mile run and was so pleased that afterward my feet felt as great as they did before setting out! I attribute that in part to the zero-drop feature but it's also the overall comfort and support of the shoe itself that helped. I've worn them several times now and can honestly say that I won't hesitate to grab another pair or two of these as they have helped me with my fitness journey SO much! The price point is very reasonable considering their comfort and durability. The only minor thing I would note is that I wish the laces were a bit longer. Very minor point but worth mentioning I suppose. Overall I would absolutely recommend these shoes to anyone and everyone looking for a quality running shoe!

Altra kindly gave me these Escalante 4 shoes for free so that I could review them. I've been a runner for a few years now and these shoes are incredibly comfortable. They are light, with fantastic cushioning plus breathability. I have bunions and these shoes are a bonus is the roomy toe box, which allows my toes to spread out comfortably. No more cramped feeling during long runs! Overall, I can't recommend these shoes enough! Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, I think you'll love them.

I have had trouble finding a shoe that is comfortable and these are so comfortable and my feet no longer hurt after wearing for a long period of time.
