Altra Footwear Escalante 2.5

I have been wearing these every day since 2-17-23. Two walks daily, and for most of the rest of the day. They are the lightest shoe I’ve ever worn, and the most comfortable, from day 1. They have substantial room in the toe box, which is a must for me, because my big toes turn up at the ends, and this has become worse as I get older. The soles are well cushioned, and this, combined with the the fact that these shows weigh next to nothing, is better than orgasm. Just wait until you’re older, you’ll understand. The only concern I had, was will they last. The answer is yes! They have lasted through DAILY usage, for 4 months! Did I mention they are cute! They are! Please, Altra, never stop making these!

Purchased these for running the St. Jude 100 mile challenge this past summer. When they arrived, they were neatly packed, the box had some valuable information printed on the lid. When I put them on and laced them up, and started walking, they felt ackward. I kept wearing them on and off for the day, then when it came time for running I was blown away! I never thought a shoe could make such a difference in how much you exert yourself. I could barely run 3 minutes straight in my old pair. I ran 15 minutes straight and only stopped because I had to get ready to leave. When I took them off, my heels which normally would feel flat and ache, felt like little cushioned clouds. I've been wearing them since July and they are by far the most comfortable, durable shoe I've ever had. My only complaint is they are a tad bit wide for my toe area. But I rather have it this way than the normal narrowed toe box most shoes have.

I am very impressed with these shoes. They are extremely comfortable and fit true to size. They have a spacious toe box and fit like a glove right out of the box. They are made of a stretchy knit material. They are also zero drop. If you’re looking for very supportive shoes with a lot of cushion, I wouldn’t recommend these. But so far I have used these for a variety of workouts and they are great. Again, not super stable if that’s what you’re looking for. But I highly recommend

I have worn altra shoes for hiking for a while, before getting these running shoes. I was a big fan of ON shoes for years and thought nothing could sway me, but these altras are heavenly! They are super comfortable and feel almost like a very roomy sock. Not to mention, they are much more durable then ON shoes. I love the natural feel in them. They don’t have the most cushioning, but enough to enjoy a run, without pain, while still feeling grounded.

I LOVE these shoes. This is my third pair of this exact shoe. I have to wear correct toes for bunions and tailor bunions and these shoes are wide enough for that. They are zero drop shoes which some people might not like but I do. It’s the only running shoe I’ll buy. I wear them every day, all day comfort. The mesh is breathable and soft around my foot. Can’t say enough about these. Perfect for wide feet if you love a zero drop shoe.

Cons:Since the ball/toe of the shoe isn't tapered like traditional tennis shoes, the shoe actually feels a bit large on my foot, but it also feels like it fits in length. So I am not sure that I would size down, but I would recommend trying on a pair before ordering. It is very comfortable but when I was doing burpees, they kept coming off (easy fix... I just stopped doing the stupid burpees in class haha).They don't have a ton of arch support or a super thick insole... this isn't necessarily a horrible thing, but as I am getting older my joints (especially knees) needs as much shock absorption as possible, but still very comfortable.I am slightly pigeon-toed and the shape of the front of these shoes makes it very, very obvious.Pros:These shoes are some of the most comfortable, versatile tennis shoes I have ever worn... and I have a ton of different brands and types of high-end wrokout/running shoes.The wide toe allows a more natural movement of your foot, giving you better balance and stability.The shoe is super lightweight, but good quality. I take a "xtreme" step class, which is full of crazy, fast moves, which requires a person to be light on their feet and some shoes feel like bricks on your feet, but the feel almost as if you were not wearing shoes at all.The shoes have pretty decent traction yet are still pretty flexible.Probably my favorite all around shoe for working out. Just ordered my second pair.

The second I put these shoes on, I could tell they were made for me. At least, they feel that way. Especially liked:- moldable arch support that feels especially nice combined with zero rise- no hard/stiff upper- pronation support in the insoles - I had no idea how badly I needed that until my first run in theseOverall perfect fit for me - 8.5 on the narrow side with high arches - and great for hardtop runs around my neighborhood or walks on gravel or hardtop.

I bought these because my chiropractor recommended them to me - I have spine issues, scoliosis and he said those are great sneakers because they have a wide front and a foot and toes give you a perfect support in shoes shaped like this. They have a cute powder pink color and are wide and very soft (like a memory foam on the inside). Great, if you walk a lot - your feel will thank you for them.

No break in time needed, wide box. Just the best runners out there. I now have 3 pairs of altras and I’m sure I will continue to buy more.

Excellent

richtig schlecht!

I am so excited about these shoes. First time in 50 years that my toes are not squished. ( well besides Birkenstock sandals, but these are runners) Comfortable, light weight, soft, but fits well in the heel. No blisters. I started buying wide shoes, but found my heel would move around too much, but not with these. I wish all shoes were made like this.
