The Escalante was my introduction into zero drop shoes. It's absolutely amazing and such a difference between your standard 8mm drop.

I’m looking at this as a first timer into the zero heel to toe drop. Did you go straight to zero or change it gradually?

I’d love to see you compare Altra shoes, like Rivera, Escalante & Torin on where you see their roles, like everyday trainer, classes, would you chose one over the other for say 10k, 1/2 marathon, marathon.

Have all 3. Torin: recovery/long run. Rivera: do it all daily trainer. Escalante: also a do it all daily trainer but flatter and less cushion. Escalante and Rivera are a bit redundant in a sense but will appeal to different people. RIP Escalante Racer. 😢

My favorite shoe! The only thing I'd be slightly wary of is the stiffness. Since the flexibility is one thing I've always loved w/ the escalante line. I think I'll want to grab another 2.5 if it goes on sale......before I upgrade to the 3.

I can honestly say I had zero concerns about flexibility or stiffness during my initial break-in run this morning. I skipped the 2 and 2.5, so I can't speak to how they felt relative to the 3, but I'm a huge fan so far. Your call, but I think it'd be worth your giving them a shot!

Yeah every version since 1.5 has been worse, basically too stiff and tight. It’s a small price to pay to allow some sideway motion of the feet inside the shoes when cutting corners in favour of allowing a really flexible and soft shoe. They should just make a reissue of the 1.5 IMO.

I've run in the Escalante 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and the Escalante Racer. They destroyed the shoe with the 2.0. Horrible shoe. They got back on track with the 2.5. Now, with the 3.0 which is stiffer and heavier, what the heck are they thinking? How do you improve a shoe by making it stiffer and heavier? Gonna have to stock up on the 2.5's.

we need this kinda stable wide outsole and more upper volume roomy toebox(like paradigm style) but we also need flexible lower stack height light shoe. so we just need a wider and more stable 22-25mm height with more roomy daily fit upper or lower stack height lightweight paradigm 5 . snuggish midfoot fit, stiffness and bulkiness is not the way. just bring us the ultimate shoe altra, everybody is looking for it. wider feet people deserve lighter stable comfort. a side note: i dont prefer white midsole color, it spoils the overall look coherence, just prefer darker tones.

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.

Perfect timing! I’m in the market for a pair of Altras to replace my aging (and very sadly discontinued) Kayentas. I cut my zero-drop running teeth in several pairs of the Escalante 1.5, so I’m super psyched to give the 3 a shot after skipping the last few versions, albeit feeling a little cautious about the stiffness you mentioned. Still hopeful, though. Also, thanks for taking time to pass along your thoughts! I’ll be sure to respond to this comment once I’ve had a chance to get some miles in with a pair of these.

​@@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!

Thanks for the review! I see Altra is using a new 3-tier scale for their Footshape fit now, and this one is shown as "standard", which is a little slimmer than "original". I tried on some Escalante 2.5s that felt pretty close to my old Altra Ones (which I really loved), do these still have a pretty roomy toebox like the Escalante 2.5? Or did they slim it down a little?

Instead I went with the Racer because it was more responsive.

So on the previous models of the Escalante, I had found that the front of the toe box was short, even when I went up a 1/2 size. I measure a 10.5 and the 11 was still short. I bought the 12, which seems crazy. It was a little to loose on the sides, but the toe box was long enough. I was wondering if the toe box on the 3 is any longer so that I could buy the correct size of 11 for a better fit all around.

Hi, do you think these would be OK for a mixture of road and light trail such as dry dirt tracks and canal towpaths which have lots of small gravelly stones? I don't think Altra have a 'door to trail' low to moderate cushioned shoe? A dedicated trail shoe would be overkill for the light trail I think, especially as about 30% of my run tends to be on the road.

The E2 was too stiff. Was like a board and the upper was too rigid. The 2.5 went too far the other way and was too flexible with too much stretch in the upper. Hoping the E3 lands somewhere in the middle. To me, this looks like it should be called the Escalate 2.6, not necessarily a bad thing. I'll buy it as soon as it hits.

@@RunMoore I have been using Vivo stealth 3 for a couple years and for a couple years I do get soreness on calves and Achilles after running (every now and then). I've taken the leap of faith and got myself a racer and been using it about 5 times this week. I can definitely say that I can run a couple more miles with this but at the same time, might right foot started that feeling like just before you get pins and needles after running for 2-3 miles. It actually feels like my sock has moved and folded underneath the foot even though it's not it. (Hope I'm making sense). As soon as I stop for a rest (30 secs or so), that feeling is gone and I can run again. Sock definitely not folder underneath my foot. Any idea why?

Can anyone explain why in the hell Altra ditched the Quantic midsole? Their Ego midsole is concrete compared. I've hoarded 6 pairs of the torin 4.5 plush because it's the last of Quantic

The Ego midsole is more responsive and more durable, although you are right that it is not as plush.

the real issue is any review you do is going to be more of an advertisement than an actual review just because of the structural incentives involves. I still like watching your "reviews" but I understand that they aren't actually reviews. When the new version comes out you'll be more comfortable to give the previous model some actual criticism albeit very mildly. If you disagree, please link me to any review you've ever done where you said, this is not a good product, don't buy it. 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.

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.

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.
