Product description






ESCALANTE 4 | SIMPLIFIED AND REFRESHED
We built the Escalante 4 as a nod to the fan-favorite Escalante 1.5, with FootShape fit, greater flexibility, and a lighter weight. Tackle fast training runs, daily walks, or everyday errands in this streamlined and versatile road-mile destroyer. It’s got an engineered knit upper for a more sock-like and forgiving fit, with a knit tongue, just like the original Escalante. We evolved the rubber midsole for a lighter weight and more flexibility so you can feel connected to the road. A new footbed feels more like the iconic Escalante 1.5 and 2.0, with the same Altra EGO midsole foam for responsiveness and comfort. Move the way you were designed to with a roomy toe box to help your toes move freely and zero drop. How did we pack so much comfort and style into such a simple shoe? Lace it up, take it out, and see for yourself!

RESPONSIVE + COMFORTABLE CUSHION
Connect with the ground and stay comfortable with unique Altra EGO midsole foam.

ROOMY TOE BOX FOR NATURAL MOVEMENT
With Altra’s FootShape fit, you get plenty of room to help your toes move freely, with a secure midfoot.

FLEXIBILITY AND NATURAL MOVEMENT UNDERFOOT
FootPod technology in the outsole supports your foot’s flexibility and helps the shoe move naturally with your body’s movement, so you can interact with your environment. Promotes good foot health.

OUR BRAND
Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running.

OUR PURPOSE
Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION
Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.

I love these shoes!
The Altra Escalante 4 are very comfortable and lightweight, perfect for long walks and runs. The wide toe box gives my feet plenty of room to move naturally, and the cushioning feels soft but still responsive. I also like the zero-drop design because it helps me keep better posture while running. The material is breathable, and the shoes feel very well made. I bought them in black, and they look sleek enough to wear casually too. Definitely worth the price—highly recommend!

Best shoes I have ever owned!
The Altra Escalante 4 meets all of my desires in a shoe- wide toe box, flexible sole, zero drop, comfortable for everyday wear (8k-12k steps per day, standing 12 hrs per day.)I have a hard time wearing anything else now because I feel so restricted.So I had to buy a second pair.They work great with business attire.The one thing I do want to point out…they are not black, they’re a very dark grey.Very happy with my purchase!

Very comfortable shoes!
Love these shoes! They give plenty of room for your toes. I use them for my workouts and love them.

Nice lower drop shoe
Wanted to switch to a lower drop shoe – and this Altra fits the bill- very comfortable to walk in. Nice wide toe box. Size 7 was recommended- I usually wear a 6 to 6.5 – and the 7 fits well. My only issue is that this type of nylon shoelace comes undone easily – even with a double knot. Overall happy with them. The black is more of a dark slate gray .

Comfortable with great cushioning
Comfortable with sufficient cushion. I use several pairs of the high profile running Altras and tried this on after a few weeks. I appreciate the cushioning and stability. I have severe peripheral neuropathy and the wide toe box is priceless.

Great walking shoes
Wow, I wasn’t sure these would make a difference, but they are a whole new walking experience. My feet are immediately relieved when I put them on. They are now my go-to for my daily walks. I have medium width feet and was worried they would be too wide, but they fit my heel and rest of foot snugly. It’s just the toe box that is wide and it allows your toes to move as you walk. Great design.

Great pair of shoes
Love these shoes. This is my 4th pair of the Escalante and I think this one is my favorite. I love the color and as always they are so comfortable.

not REALLY for wide FEET…. but more space for toes.
I purchased these shoes on the recommendation of my sister. I thought they’d be great for wide feet, but it turns out, the only additional width is in the toe base.This is fine, but the rest of my feet have had to go through the agony of getting these to stretch to a “safe” comfort… After wearing them for about a month, I’m still trying to get these to be comfortable. Usually, by the end of the day, the tops of my feet have serious indentation that causes pain and itchiness (thanks to sensitive skin!).The laces are also a PITA (pain in the a….) because they come undone very easily. If these are used for walking/running or working out, you’ll find yourself having to stop constantly to re-tie them… The material of the laces just doesn’t….. stick? Not sure how to explain it.Either way, they’re cute. They’re currently dirty and need a washing so I’m about to do that and hope they are a pair that washes nicely… Maybe that will help them wear in a little bit…Onto the pros:The color of these shoes out of the box was spectacular. The white was bright BRIGHT and the color of the soles was truly magnificent. Brought me back to my 90’s fashion days.They are flexible enough out of the box that you can bend and move well and they seem to be very well made and durable.
