Review: Love these shoes - I wanted Altra Solstice but after reading the reviews I decided not to get them. The Escalante 4 is sold as a minimalist running shoe but got close to what I wanted which was a cross trainer that I could use for light cardio (short runs) and lifting (not too much height). I wear a 9.5 wide in women’s in my regular shoes so I always size up in athletic shoes. For some reason Altra has pulled back on the number of models with a wide option. I ordered 8.5 medium in men’s which should have been the equivalent to women’s 10 but it was too short. I sized up to the 9 medium and it’s perfect! I ordered men’s because I think they are a little wider than the women’s version. I’ve worn them around my house and they feel amazing! I think I like them more than the solstice. The zero drop along with the medium cushion feels amazing. The mesh upper feels a little scratchy but that’s without socks so I don’t think it will be a problem. The tongue is also ok. I wish it was lined with something softer than the mesh but it’s not bad. The roomy toe box is the reason I keep putting up with Altra despite their constant tinkering and consistent glue failures (I fully expect the bottoms to separate). I have low arches so the arch support is perfect for me but might be an issue for someone with high arches. Altra lean more in the minimal category so I don’t think any model is going to have a ton of arch support. I got the black with iridescent logo. They look ok. Altra isn’t known for looking fashionable but they are decent looking.
Review: For running and working out. - I absolutely love the Altra Escalante. This Escalante 4 is my fourth pair from the line, and they are wonderful. They fit my neutral feet perfectly, and after running over 300 miles in them, they are holding up remarkably well. I prefer zero-drop shoes because they keep me comfortable on long runs and transition seamlessly into the gym. They are particularly excellent for lifts like RDLs, deadlifts, and squats, where the zero-drop platform provides the stable, grounded support I need. On desertcart they are slight cheaper than other sites. I normally go for neutral colors but I feel my next purchase may be a little bolder. Thankfully there are various color schemes to choose from.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite Altra shoes yet!
*by O***N on March 19, 2025*

** Keep in mind, I'm not some crazy advanced runner. I mostly use these shoes for running outside 4-6 miles when the weather is nice and for the gym. Haven't had the Escalante 4s for long but they have quickly become my favorite pair of Altra shoe's I've owned. I've had my ups and downs with Altra but I don't think there's an all around better brand right now for zero drop running/training shoes. My first pair were the Torin 6s and they immediately got me hooked with their great cushioning and stability. However, they did suffer from some quality issue with bits of the outsole rubber peeling off and the upper ripping slightly in places just a couple of months into owning them. Because of this I decided to give the Provision 8s a try since they had overall great reviews and I had the opposite issue; they held up super well but I didn't love how they felt and eventually ended up with foot pain and shin splints. Later I realized this was my fault for not doing more research before buying them since neutral shoes are best for my feet and these have support for pronation which likely was part of the issue. Now giving the Escalante 4s a go they just feel like a lighter, snappier Torin (which I love)! My feet aren't getting fatigued in them and there's enough cushion to not feel like my battering my legs on the road like some more minimal shoes can do. If you want a great all around zero drop running/trianing shoe, give these a try. Hopefully they hold up just as well as my old Provisions did.
