Altra W Escalante 5
If you need a shoe that works for everything —the commute, long hours on your feet, a walk around town, or the occasional run— the Altra W Escalante 5 is the answer. This fifth generation repositions the iconic model around everyday use without sacrificing performance: a timeless, versatile design that works just as well for a light workout as for an intense work day on your feet. It's the barefoot transition shoe par excellence, built for anyone who wants their foot to breathe, spread and move naturally at any point in the day.
The EGO Pro™ midsole —Altra's best foam to date— delivers cushioning and energy return that makes long hours on your feet feel much easier. The Zero Drop™ platform (0 mm drop) maintains a natural, aligned posture that reduces strain on your lower back and knees throughout long days. The wide FootShape™ toe box lets your toes spread freely —just as they do when you walk barefoot— preventing tension and the fatigue that conventional shoes cause. The improved engineered mesh upper wraps your foot in softness, breathability and a sock-like fit that makes it feel like you're wearing nothing at all.
The barefoot shoe that adapts to your life: comfortable all day, ready to run, and stylish enough for any occasion.
