“My favourite road shoe and one I throughly recommend. Light, fast, responsive and suits all types of training (intervals, tempo and low heart rate runs). Plenty of toe room, great ventilation to keep feet running cool and super comfortable. Best if you transition gradually if new to zero drop shoes”
“Very comfortable right out of the box. I am a forefoot/mid foot landing and have been using 8mm drop racing runners for a while, and these felt no different just subtlety less drop. So was surprised to find my pace had improved by 15 sec per km. Very impressed.”
“Great pair of zero drop shoes.
The shoes are constructed well, are well designed and priced right.
The escalate racer model provides less cushioning compared to the regular escalate model however this suits me well as I was looking for a more minimalist shoe that would enable great ground feeling.
Overall a great pair of shoes that I would recommend to runners looking for a faster cadence pair of shoes.”
“Much better fit than the regular Escalante (not as sloppy in corners). The responsive feel makes you want to run fast and the secure fit gives a bit more confidence. Surprisingly roomy in the toes given the locked down fit in the mid foot and heel, which is exactly what I wanted. The best Altra shoe I have tried so far”
