Review: Stellar comfort, could be more durable - I've had 4 pairs of Altra Escalantes since 2022, two pairs of gen 2 and now on my second pair of gen 4. I wear them all day, every day for walking and light running. All of them have been some of the most fantastically lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear shoes I've ever worn. Not quite "minimalist shoes", but far less obstructive feeling than most other brands. I forget they're even on my feet most of the time. I can't go back to wearing shoes with a drop, weird arch support, or heavy materials anymore. One advantage of current generation (4) over gen 2 is that the fit is more true to size: I normally wear size 10, and indeed I can wear a size 10 of the Escalante 4. They fit as expected. The previous generations were less consistent. One downside is that they're seemingly less durable. My first daily wear pair of gen 4 had the tread worn down and had fabric start to rip in the heel within 6-7 months of wearing them. That's not too bad, but my gen 2 pairs lasted about twice as long, so a bit unfortunate to see. Would like to see deeper rubber tread and slightly better fabric construction for future versions, even if they end up being a few grams heavier.
Review: Great minimalist running shoe, moderate cushion - Great shoes. My backpacking shoes are Altra Lone Peaks, and my previous running shoes are Xero HFS2 (barefoot style). So when I tried these on, they immediately felt good. After a few walks and one moderate run, I took these on a long run and my feet felt great. There's definitely some cushion in them (vs a barefoot shoe). Not as squishy as the the Lone Peaks, but not as firm as some running shoes. The cushion actually feels a little bouncy, in a good way. Definitely a good option for when the bottoms of my feet are feeling a little beat up. Foot space is great, like the Lone Peaks. They also look really cool. I got the black ones, and have been wearing them casually because they look nice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life-Changing Shoe Find!
*by A***R on August 2, 2025*

These are the best shoes I have ever worn! They are so light that it feels like you are barefoot (back when that felt good, like at 10 years old!) with more support. I am a women's 10.5 but prefer the naturally wider fit of a men's 10. I find that I stumble less often. My chronic back and hip pain improved within a couple of weeks. These give you the best of a barefoot shoe's natural stride but also accommodate my orthotics. Glad I found you! These shoes have been life changing for me (69-year-old, active arthritic). I am happier in these than my Birks...that says a lot!
