Sizing Notes
Altra’s unique FootShape™ toe box and zero to low shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on. When fitting, be sure to allow a full thumb’s width in front of your toes. If your feet are used to cramped toe boxes, Altra shoes may feel a little big at first. Give your toes some time to get used to the newfound wiggle room.
Altra offers a range of FootShape fits:
Original Fit: The fit that started it all, Original is the roomiest of the 3 options from Altra.
Standard Fit: The most common fit from Altra is right in the middle of Original and Slim.
Slim Fit: The slimmest-fitting Altra option still allows room for your toes to spread out naturally.
IS THIS SHOE TRUE TO SIZE? The product Features above will provide a suggestion if Altra advises you to size up or down in this particular shoe. If no such note exists, please order your regular size.

Good shoe, but not Altra's finest
3 years ago
I have had two prior pairs of the Escalantes, and love the zero drop and the feeling that I'm barefoot. The quality though of this pair seems to have gone downhill compared with prior pairs - the side panel started lifting within a couple of weeks of wearing, and the sole has not worn as well. I still like them a lot - especially the wide foot bed, but am downgrading them based on past experience with Altras.

My favorite shoes of all time
4 years ago
Unfortunately, these shoes are long discontinued. They were game-changers for me. Wide and roomy footbed with they right amount of cushion. Also my entry into zero drop shoes. I like these so much I bought 4 pairs while I could. I have tried more recent versions of the escalante and am sure that is what I will be grabbing once my 1.5s are all used up. I have noticed that with the escalante updates the shoe overall feels tighter/less roomy, especially in the toe-box. That is why I grabbed as many 1.5s as I could before they were gone.

Great shoe and fit
4 years ago
I love Altra. They are the best fitting, best feeling shoe I know. The 0 degree heel keeps my low back comfortable and pain free. The wide toe box allows my foot come back to it's natural form. I do get one 1/2 size smaller than usual because toe box is more spacious. The design is great and material is high quality.

narrow shoe
4 years ago
I used to love altras. My trail running shoes are altras. The new shoes are way too narrow and not comfortable. It's too bad they changed their style and have lost a life long customer.

Good Shoe Under the Right Circumstances
4 years ago
Extremely light weight and comfortable. The shoe performs best on level surfaces. Otherwise support for any other type of terrain or foot movement is minimal or useless.

Very comfortable shoe with good cushion. The wide toe box is a plus. The zero drop never bothered me

Legendary

these shoes are legendary. They are hard to find but if you do snap them up. Similar to the 2.5 but better in that "OG" kind of way. Never tried the first Escalante's (1.0) but these are EPIC

Comfortable but...
4 years ago
They are quite comfortable but: The shell of the shoe is somewhat "sock like" and doesn't provide much lateral stability for the foot as it rides over the sole. I'm used to altra's zero drop but these almost felt like there was a negative drop in the heal. Very hard on my achilles and planner fascia. In the end, not my cup of tea. Retired them as soon as I IDed the what was causing tendon and heal pain.
