GURU TIP:  Built as an ode to the Escalante 1.5

TECH TIP:  Altra is back with the Escalante 4 but instead of going FWD, Altra is rewinding. Taking inspiration from the fan (dare I say cult) favorite Escalante 1.5 and 2.0 the Escalante 4 provides more ground feel than the 3. They achieve that by making the outsole lighter and more flexible. Using the same Ego midsole you’ll still get that bouncy snap the Escalante is known for. To give it that retro feel, Altra gives the engineered knit upper a thinner knit tongue for comfortable movement. A great option for neutral gaits the Escalante is perfect for those who want a natural feel with the balanced cushioning and FootShape toe-box.

DON’T BUY THIS SHOE IF... You like a lot of cushion
