“I delayed writing this until I have used the shoes for a few weeks. I love them. The upper material is soft and stretchy. The sole has got enough cushioning to ride over small stones but not too much to ‘lose touch’. They are also super quiet! Great for my Chi Running development.”
“They feel light, responsive, make me feel like an athlete.
Didn’t have any issues transitioning to a zero drop either, which had worried me before.
I did buy half a size up though, and that works for me.
Great shoe.”
“Have taken these out for a few 5k runs on various terrain, from road to rough trails. Have found them very comfortable and responsive. Knit material is stretchy and accommodates my bunions, and dries quickly. Not suitable if you need to push off to the side aggressively eg football, as stretchy knit allows your foot to slide off the sole.”
“Very good shoe, responsive and light. Less sloppy when cornering than the previous Escalante - they have improved fit around the heel. Toe box is slightly narrow compared to the Escalante racer of the same size, but not enough to be a problem. This has been my go-to running shoe for a couple of years now and hasn't disappointed yet.”
“Great customer service and a great product! Very comfortable and fast shoe.had the original Escalante & really enjoyed running in them,so when I saw the 1.5 mark twos were now available I had to get them!! Have since ordered the Escalante racer NYC!!”
