THE STORY
The Escalante was such a hit that it's hard to imagine it getting better, but believe it or not, it did! The 1.5 version features an updated knit with 360-degree reflectivity, increased breathability, tongue stay, new colour patterns and sleeker heel cup. This new upper coupled with that same powerfully plush feeling of Altra EGO™ underfoot creates the perfect combo of high performance and comfort.
The EGO midsole gives this shoe a soft underfoot feel that sends your senses into comfort overload. This shoe is definitely suited for the runner who enjoys a very plush soft midsole. If you prefer something a bit firmer, you should look at the Escalante Racer or Kayenta models.
