The Altra Escalante 4, a fan favourite, has returned with a simplified and refreshed design. Still maintaining its classic minimalist zero-drop style, it also now features an Original FootShape fit, increased flexibility, and a lighter weight.

Whether you're running, walking, or standing all day, this minimalist shoe has a low 24mm stack height that allows you to stay connected to the ground while reducing stress on your body, especially on the lower back.

It's amazing how much comfort and functionality can be packed into such a simple shoe. Try it out for yourself and lace up for an unforgettable experience!

What to love

• New engineered knit upper with knit tongue for a sock-like, forgiving fit
  
• Less rubber in the outsole for a lighter weight and greater flexibility
• Updated EGO midsole adds comfort and responsiveness
• Great for easy runs, long hours of walking and standing 

 

UPPER

• New engineered knit upper for a sock-like and comfortable fit, complete with a knit tongue just like the original Escalante

MIDSOLE

• New Altra EGO foam, the same used in Escalante 1.5 and 2.0, is more responsive and durable with greater energy return 
• Balanced Cushioning (Zero-Drop) places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage proper, low-impact form throughout your trail run
• Original Footshape Fit (Altra's most spacious toe box) allows the toes to relax, spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position for more stability and a powerful toe-off to maximize running performance

OUTSOLE

• FootPod Outsole follows the natural construction of the human foot for maximum flexibility and a responsive ride
• Rubber midsole updated for a lighter weight and increased flexibility, allowing for a more connected feel to the road
