Altra Escalante 5 Men's Running Shoes

The Escalante 5 from Altra is designed for runners and walkers seeking a natural feel with close ground contact. Its low stack height and zero heel-to-toe drop place the foot in a natural position, supporting an efficient running technique on roads. The shoe combines a responsive yet cushioned ride with a firm connection to the ground, thanks to the Altra EGO midsole and an updated rubber outsole that enhances grip and durability for long miles on asphalt. The FootShape Original fit provides extra space for the toes, encouraging a natural spread of the foot, while the engineered knit upper adapts to the foot for a secure, comfortable fit. An updated tongue and redesigned collar contribute to a classic, comfortable feel across the upper.
