The fit and finish of the new Altra Escalante 2.5 has been tweaked, but the core of the shoe remains the same. The new Escalante still features the lightweight and nimble ride that the shoe is known for, but with an improved knit upper that is super stretchy and breathable, making this foot-shaped shoe disappear on foot. The Altra Ego midsole foam, combined with Innerflex technology in the outsole help to give the Escalante 2.5 a snappy and direct, yet protected ride. This zero-drop and foot-shaped trainer is ideal for those who like to feel the road underneath them, or someone looking to try something unique in their uptempo shoes.
