“Great shoes. I’ve not quite got the knack of being able to lock my foot in so there’s a little bit of movement downhill, but they’re so much fun to run in! Really enjoying them.”
“What a relief. Having messed up the 2.0's with a stiffer heavier version, Altra are back on track with the 2.5's. Good flexibility, super comfortable, light and fast, like the old days.”
“An interesting change from the 2.0 (I used two pairs of those) - the main difference for me is a significantly more direct feel, better shaped toe box and less cushioning than the 2.0: significant closer to the Escalante 2.0 Racer in fact. It's a good shoe, though not quite cushioned enough for me to use for longer easy runs on tarmac.”
“Thank you Altra for listening to feedback and bringing the Escalante back to the awesome shoe it once was!
The 2.5 is comfy, spacious and quick - much like the 1.5 - and the hideous 2.0 has hopefully been relegated to the (very expensive!) history books as a lesson learned.
My only gripe is that the men’s colour option (murky blue) is boring. Bring back the colour!!”
