A Streamlined Classic Returns

The Altra Women’s Escalante 4 brings back the simplicity and comfort of the original Escalante 1.5 while introducing modern updates for today’s runner. Designed for road running, speedwork, walking, and everyday wear, this versatile shoe blends responsiveness, flexibility, and natural comfort in a lightweight package. Whether you’re chasing a PR, training daily, or just staying active, the Escalante 4 is built to move with you.

Engineered Knit Upper for a Natural Fit

The Escalante 4 features an updated engineered knit upper with a sock-like feel, designed to adapt comfortably to your foot. A knit tongue adds a forgiving fit and smooth movement. The FootShape™ Original fit delivers Altra’s roomiest toe box, giving your toes space to splay naturally for improved balance and comfort across miles.

Responsive Cushioning and Ground Connection

Powered by Altra EGO™ midsole foam, the Escalante 4 offers a responsive, cushioned ride without losing ground feel. Its InnerFlex™ midsole grooves and FootPod™ outsole technology enhance flexibility, helping the shoe move naturally with your stride. With a 0mm heel-to-toe drop and a 24mm stack height, this shoe places your foot in a balanced, natural position for a smooth, connected ride.

Lightweight and Built for Speed

Weighing just 7.5 oz (212 g), the Escalante 4 is a true lightweight trainer. A redesigned rubber outsole reduces weight while maintaining durability and grip. This evolution makes the shoe even more agile, perfect for fast-paced workouts and long-distance runs alike.
