SUBSCRIBEAltra Escalante 5
Description
The men’s Altra Escalante 5 is a minimalist running shoe, designed to help you stay connected to the ground with a natural, responsive feel. Its signature foot-shaped toe box gives your toes plenty of room to spread comfortably. The zero-drop platform keeps you heel and forefoot on the same level thus encouraging a low-impact running technique; naturally aligning body posture and strengthening your lower leg muscles.
Details
At a Glance:
- Designed for road running or walking and daily training
- Support: Neutral
- Cushioning: Responsive
- Altra EGO™ midsole for lightweight feel and effective cushioning
- Engineered-knit upper is breathable to keep your feet fresh
- Improved tongue and redesigned heel collar
- Standard FootShape™ Fit toe box allows your feet to spread as nature intended
- Rubber outsole for increased durability and connection to the ground
- Fit: due to the spacious toe box it feels a bit bigger, so you might need to take half a size down (compared with other running shoes)
- Weight: 275g
- Offset: Zero (heel 24mm / forefoot 24mm)
What’s New?
The upper of the Escalante 5 has been updated with softer and more breathable fabrics, with perforation to improve moisture-evaporation, helping to keep your feet fresh. The new, improved heel-collar and tongue hold your foot more snugly, and make every step more secure and smoother.
The outsole is made from durable rubber, providing reliable grip and long-lasting performance. In this latest version, the rubber now covers the entire length of the outsole, giving you even better traction across a variety of road surfaces. This also improves abrasion-resistance, to help extend the life of this excellent running shoe.

Altra stays true to its signature Standard FootShape™ Fit, designed to follow the natural shape of your foot. With a roomy toe box, it gives your toes the space they need to spread naturally, while still providing a secure and supportive fit through the midfoot of the shoe. This distinctive design not only enhances comfort, but can also help reduce the risk of common foot problems, such as bunions, hammertoes, and other issues that may develop from wearing shoes that are too narrow or restrictive.
The Altra EGO™ midsole with the zero-drop offset stays unchanged. The 24mm under the forefoot, midfoot and heel protects you from the impact of heel-striking and encourages you to land on your midfoot. The midfoot landing decreases the stress on your joints, knees and Achilles by supporting you to run with a natural, balanced gait.
More About Altra
Though some of Altra’s shoes have a low heel-drop (difference in height between heel and toe), their key feature is Zero Drop. This promotes natural foot movement and thereby enhances overall performance. FootShape™ gives a spacious toe box, which lets your toes move naturally and keeps your big toe straight, optimising stability, preventing discomfort, and enhancing balance. With their Fit4Her™ feature, Altra cater specifically to a woman’s foot shape. The range truly achieves its goal of making shoes that are healthy – for your feet, your posture and for our planet. By 2030, they are committed to using 100% regenerative, responsible, renewable, or recycled materials. Altra shoes are also 100% vegan!

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR RUNNING SHOES
Your running shoe size will generally be 1 to 1.5 sizes bigger than your regular (‘dress’) shoe size. Bear in mind also that one foot can be slightly bigger than the other.
LENGTH
First, kick your foot back into the heel of each shoe before checking how much space is left at the front. When standing in each shoe with your full weight on the foot, it’s best to have between half and a full thumb's width between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
WIDTH
When standing in the shoe, it’s best to have a little wiggle room for the toes, but the back of heel should still feel nicely secure.
SPIKES
Sprint spikes are best when a close fit. Distance spikes best when up to a half a thumb's width between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
