I have two pairs of the Escalante 3. One of them I wear as casual sneakers and I have the other one for slow running. They are still fun to run in but lets face it - they are heavy. I really love the way these shoes feel but I wouldn't try to set any records in this shoe. I also wouldn't wear them on long runs because as a 2023 running shoe, they are heavy. I mean, they are almost 100g heavier than e.g. Asics Tri Noosa 14 of the same size. I still hope altra keeps making them because these are my casual sneakers I still want to buy 3 years from now - yes - that's how much I like them. Unfortunately, altra apears to be letting me down with the Escalante Racer..... they are only still available in the least fun colorway and I think these are the last ones that will ever be made... it's such a shame.

@@RunMoore Happy to report I got a 6k break-in run in with my new 3s this morning - and they felt fantastic! A couple initial thoughts post-run: • They've pretty noticeably gained weight since the 1.5, but I'll consider a worthwhile trade-off for the added underfoot rubber. Seriously, these things grip for days! I have no doubts that the outsole will easily last at least the 400-500mi that my 1.5s did. • It legitimately feels like they built these shoes around my feet. I realize we all have different preferences, but I definitely have no concerns about width or flexibility from my end, even with my relatively wide forefoot and strong, highly flexible feet. • I'm a U.S. Size 12 across the board but was swimming in the 12s I originally ordered (easily two thumbs' width between my toes and the end of the shoe). At least for me, going down a half size was perfect. Everything else I'd have said, you already did in your video, so no need to repeat! Also, thanks to the Run Moore team for their work in getting my shoes sent. I'll definitely be back in the future!

I would bet your response to this would be something like, if it's not a good shoe then we won't carry it in the first place, which is a fair point but doesn't entirely absolve the contradiction.

They screwed it all up on the #2.. corrected it on the 2.5… Let’s hope this isn’t super stiff

Agreed and even then I don't feel like the 2.5 was fully fixed. I still feel the 1.5 was the sweet spot.

Honestly I think it’s about as stiff as the 2. It’s definitely stiffer than the 2.5.

Unfortunate to see the Escalante is heavier than the Torin. I want to stick with Altra, but their last few releases have pushed me away.

Looks like the stiffness is from the full rubber outsole. The old ones had bigger flex grooves on their outsole. Personally, I use this shoe casually and in the gym, so I am excited to hear that it is more stable and stiffer.

Which is the most barefoot altra shoes?
@RunMoore2 жыл бұрын
For now, it is the Escalante. It has the lowest stack height and lowest arch of their collection. I wish they had one even more flexible and lower stack height though. I think a super duper minimal shoe would be good for their lineup.

for a review, might not be a good isea to cover half the shoe with your hand. Hiding something?

meh. Nothing will ever compare to Escalante v1.0 for me. The rest is utter crap. V1 was perfect, you just had to maybe size down a bit and you had yourself a fantastic shoe.
