ALTRA Men's Escalante 3 Road Running

I've been running with barefoot shoes for some time and have been very happy with them. However recently I had problems with sore ankles so decided to try these Altras with a bit more cushioning, but still with wide toe box. I'm really liking them. Just a bit easier on the ankle joints, but not these horrible super bouncy thing that feel like trying to run on a trampoline. They look good to me and seem well made. Five stars.

Arrived a day earlier than expected (arrived Friday 19th July 2024). Very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. I find them very comfortable for running and walking with the wide toe box. Great shoes, great price, great service, thank you! 5 stars, would give 6!

Great shoes. They don't squeeze your toes so they're very comfortable. Good spring in the step.

This is my second pair of Escalante. They are a great shoe to get started in when moving to a wide toe box, minimal shoe. I’m a UK 9.5 and bought the 10.5 and they fit great plus give me extra room.

ive gone through brooks, NB, Nike Free and many others over the years. I have had mostly success with most of these but the Altra Escalantes are just another level. Bought four pairs of this specific model in different colors so far and I can't overemphasize how comfortable they are for pretty much any activity except perhaps heavy weight training/powerlifting. Also have the Rivera 2 and that's a great running shoe as well. Altras are the best by far.

I really like my Lone Peak trail runners so I decided to look for another Altra pair with suitable tread and cushioning for pavements. If you're used to zero heel drop, your calves do the heavy shock-absorbing, but it's nice to have that little extra on hard surfaces. The Escalante 3s do the job well and look very smart and sporty. I even got a compliment on their first outing! I felt quite happy doing my longer city runs right from the start. They feel softer, with a little bounce, also more snug, but fine with thin socks. I first tried on the VIA Olympus but I felt insecure because those are very chunky with thick soles and pronounced toe roll-off. The Esclantes have what I'd call a more neutral and conventional feel.

Since I’ve been wearing them they have given me blisters as you can see. Would like a refund.

Great price, super comfortable, very good quality.

Ich habe lange nach Schuhen gesucht, die zwar breiter sind als normale Schuhe und eine ergonomische Form haben, dabei aber keine Barfußschuhe sind. Altra bietet genau das: Breite Schuhe, ergonomisch geformt, aber mit recht dicker Sohle. Mittlerweile habe ich vier Paar von der Marke, unter Anderem auch Wanderschuhe, und bin nach wie vor sehr zufrieden. Die Escalante 3 sehen in dunkelblau unauffällig aus, sind angenehm luftig und voll alltagstauglich. Ich gehe regelmäßig auch sehr lange Strecken >20km mit dem Schuh, das macht er gut mit und hält meine Füße blasen- und schmerzfrei. Einziger Nachteil für mich: Die Schuhe sind absolut nicht wasserdicht. Schon bei den ersten Regentropfen werden die Füße nass, es ist also ein reiner Schönwetterschuh. Auch der Preis ist nicht ganz ohne wenn man mit den "klassischen" Marken wie Adidas, Puma und Co vergleicht, aber wenn man mal einen Schuh von Altra getragen hat, versteht man auch warum - besonders dann, wenn man etwas breitere Füße hat.

Perfetto in ogni dettaglio, si vede la qualità.

One of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn - on par with, tho quite different from, early Tsubos. Fit in size 14 was exactly as expected. Ergonomics are correct, something few shoes can say. Coloration has a subtle pattern, very nice aesthetic. One downside: they are not even a little tiny bit water resistant. But they do dry reasonably quickly.

So comfortable I can't stop walking. Great shoes and good for your foot health as well.

Llegaron a tiempo, y lo más importante, son super cómodas, amplias...
