Customer Reviews Altra Escalante 4

I was nervous to run after constant issues with one of my feet.... these shoes have been incredible - I am back running and for the first time in years, my foot is not flaring up - at all! I love them!

I bought a couple of pairs of the 2.0 years ago and loved them. This most recent style is finally back to that original fit and it is amazing again.

I was looking for a non-trail shoe that fits like the Lone Peaks that I hike in, and these are the closest I've found with a similar toe box. The Torins were too tight. I plan to wear these out walking/around town/and possibly for lifting. I like that they are versatile. Not the most cushion, due to the style, but I prefer that. With that being said, I probably would not actually wear these running as for running I prefer more cushion. For walking and everyday use, they work great. The shoelaces are short - I usually double tie my laces to keep them from coming undone and I can just barely do it with these.

I walk 5km a day and these do the trick. nice wide toe box. I have owned one pair of altras in the past and they were a mens version. Found them a bit better for my wide feet. The escalante 4 could be a bit wider for my foot but overall am happy with the feel. I bought all black so I could, if needed, use them as a neutral all around shoe.

I was very disappointed. These shoes were nothing like the Escalantes I had for 10 years before these. They should not be advertised as Escalantes as they are totally different. These are rigid with no comfort in my opinion. The material is much cheaper as well. They are also very narrow and squeeze my feet not allowing my toes to spread out fully. Please bring back the other Escalantes

Ive been purchasing altras for the last couple years and have loved their fit as someone with slightly wider forefoot/toes. I loved my escalante 3s a lot and wanted an upgrade when they wore out. The 4s however are narrower all throughout to the point where my feet dont even fit on the bottom and are basically falling off. Why advertise these as "original" when they are much narrower than even the Torins? Stop advertising a "natural" toe box when yours is narrower and fits worse than even the big brands.

Love this product. I researched barefoot shoes with more coushin. I love the wide toe space, yet I get a little extra cushion for my dog walks on pavement. So very great full to your company for making these. I will definitely buy again! Only suggestion I could make is change up the shoe laces. They don't hold very securely.

I love Altra running shoes but there is such an issue with the short length of the shoelaces. I've had to change out the 45inch ones that come with the product for 50s (which are hard to find d) or 54s (which are too long). They are unusable no matter how I do the lacing!

Not only do they feel narrower than the Escalante they are NOT black on black. They are a dark grey.

The Women's Escalante 4 is everything that was written in the description and then some. The fit, comfort and look are an A+ rating.

These shoes do not have as much cushion as the last version of Escalantes. I've started having foot problems (plantar fasciitis) again with this model. Please bring the previous model back. They were alittle heavier but sooooo much better. The shoe laces aren't great either. :/

I loved these shoes so much and wanted to love them forever, but they wore out within three months. They are so comfortable, but got a hole super quick because the material is not durable. A lot of money for a shoe that doesn't last. I contacted Customer Service, but they sent be an automated email stating their policy. these are made for my feet! They just need to last longer!

I have been running in Escalantes for years, but I'm a little disappointed in the new model. I didn't think the laces could get any worse but these have proved me wrong. I have to use a heel lock or it feels uncomfortable, but the laces can barely be tied and when you finally manage that, they don't stay tied. I will definitely be replacing the laces.

Escalante 3 was my first introduction to Altra and although I've tested some other models I keep coming back to the Escalante and I've found the 4 to be enjoyable as well. The gray colorway of this shoe is 10000/10 and I will be buying some backups in case it goes away.

With my toe problems, these are the only shoes I can wear right now. My daughter saw my Altra shoes, and laughed because she has 4 pairs at home. She loves to run, but only in Altra.

This is my favorite shoe for walking and sports. It's light/comfortable with a great wide toe box/natural fit. Highly recommend. I can't find a better fit for pickleball shoes..Altra please make a court shoe. The tread wears too quickly for court sports.

I purchased these shoes 4 months ago and loved their comfort, but after minimal use (2 to 3 miles about 4 days per week) they have an interior hole at the heel, causing blisters and discomfort.

This is my third pair of Escalante shoes and ninth pair of Altras. I really like the wide toe box. I run in the Escalantes. The first two Escalantes were version 3. They were comfortable and allowed me to increase running distance with no foot problems. The Escalante 4 feels more stiff and less cushioned. I have tried adding an additional foot insert but they still are uncomfortable. My feet get tired just wearing them even without running. I also prefer a padded tongue and longer laces. Please bring back the previous version. Probably won't buy these again.

I love the blue color. I have several previous versions of this shoe. This one is disappointing. The upper cuts into the top of my foot. Please bring back the thicker tongue and upper of version 3.
