Why We Recommend the Altra Escalante 4

At Dave's Running Shop, we find the Altra Escalante 4 is perfect for someone looking for a lightweight, zero drop shoe capable of withstanding daily miles.  This shoe offers a wide toe box, a zero drop heel, and a responsive ride.  The breathable knit upper helps keep feet cool and provides a soft, comfortable fit.  It's not just a running shoe either.  Altra's Escalante 4 can be used as a walking shoe as well.  The natural foot bed Altra provides allows for a more holistic option in a market filled with high cushion interests.  

Fit & Sizing

The sizing of the Altra Escalante 4 is true to size.  We have found no problems in terms of length.  The width feels true to size as well but, if you have never had a wide toe box shoe it may feel off at first.  Adjusting to the wider toe box should only take a few wears.
