Altra Escalante 2.5 Running Shoes

Product Information

Skechers Persistence - A beginner friendly shoe for daily training, featuring a forefoot H Plate for pop

Insanely fast, lightweight running shoes with high performance cushioning. The Altra Escalante 2.5 replaces the Altra Escalante 2.0 (currently on sale!). As this Escalante 2.5 review has illustrated, the 2.5 manages to preserve the characteristics that made the original model famous while resolving some of the issues users raised regarding the 2.0. With its Zero Drop™ platforms, Innerflex™ grooved outsoles, and Altra Ego™ midsole, the Escalante 2.5 offers multiple features other brands will find difficult to challenge. Thanks to the shoe's wide midfoot and forefoot base, we never had to worry about losing our footing.The Escalante 2.5 also provides excellent grip and support for gym use and is even ideal for relaxed walks. I bought the Topo Athletics ST-4 because I’m searching for the perfect alternative to the Altra Escalante 2.5. Many miss the soft, flexible sole of the Escalante and the highly forgiving upper. Arch support….. seriously. The conventional shoe industry has no issue with arch support in shoes. But in the barefoot world, arch support is a no-no. Your arch has a specific purpose in the running gait. It should be trained to take the load upon landing and act as a spring upon take off. While the support is minimal, and I technically only felt it when walking, it’s there. The design flies in the face of the original Topo designs, where barefoot was king, so why the change?

With this all-purpose running shoe, there aren’t many activities you can’t blast through or landscapes you can’t leave in the dust. Who is the Escalante 2.5 Best For? The Altra Escalante 3 features Altra EGO midsole cushioning — the updated model has more foam. Altra EGO was designed to be soft and plush while still dynamic, and it delivers exactly that with this new Escalante. The other technologies employed by Altra are Innerflex, Footshape design, and Balanced Cushioning. Skratch Recovery, Coffee Flavor:Mental and physical boost post run. Coffee flavor is excellent and goes great straight into a fresh brewed cupThe Altra Escalante 3 is now more form-fitting. This can be a hit or a miss depending on your fit preferences. Altra มองว่า Escalante สามารถ”ใส่ทำความเร็วได้” จึงปรับ upper ให้มี “ความกระชับช่วงกลางเท้ามากขึ้น” ซึ่งการปรับตรงนี้นี่เอง ทำให้ความสบายลดลง This allowed us to take the shoe out on a longer run like 10K. The cushioning did a fantastic job preventing our feet from feeling trashed by the end of the run.
