Altra M Escalante 5
If you need a shoe that works equally well for going to work, standing on your feet for hours, running when you have time, or going out on the weekend, the Altra M Escalante 5 is what you need. The fifth generation of Altra's most iconic model has been reinvented: it's now primarily an everyday shoe, with casual aesthetics and barefoot performance, ideally positioned for those who want to transition to natural footwear without giving up versatility. It can be your first barefoot shoe, your weekend shoe, or the one you wear to the gym and the office on the same day.
The EGO Pro™ midsole —Altra's new foam, the best in their lineup— provides cushioning and responsiveness that make hours on your feet pass with minimal fatigue. The full Zero Drop™ platform (0 mm) promotes natural body posture and reduces the load on your back and knees throughout the day. The wide FootShape™ toe box lets your toes spread as they do naturally, without the compression typical of conventional shoes. The engineered mesh upper is now more breathable and provides slightly firmer midfoot support for a comfortable, precise fit that lasts all day. And when you want to go for a run, the shoe is ready for it.
The barefoot shoe that covers your entire day: work, street, training. No gimmicks, no compromises.
