This is the women's Escalante Racer, a light and responsive Zero Drop running shoe designed to be used for faster sessions and race day. The level of cushioning is low, with high rebound, for a runner that is comfortable being quick on their feet. Altra have many more cushioned road running shoes for relaxing slow runs and you can browse all Altra running shoes here.
The Escalante Racer is Zero Drop from heel to forefoot, which helps promote a more midfoot landing and the roomy toe box has plenty of room thanks to Altra's FootShape design. The result is your feet are able to spread on impact, naturally cushioning you and are better prepared for a positive toe-off.
At only 193g the men's Escalante Racer is super light, responsive and fun to move fast in.
Altra describe the men's Escalante Racer as: "The Escalante Racer is just like it sounds: Everything you love about the Escalante, but faster. This race-ready road shoe it built for both speed and performance with the powerfully plush Altra EGO™ midsole that’s a touch firmer for more return and more response. The static mesh upper is the perfect combination of comfortable, lightweight, and breathable. Whether you’re ready to race or just looking to load up on road miles, the Escalante Racer is ready."
