Altra Escalante 4 Women's Running Shoes

Altra Escalante 4 for Women — a streamlined, refreshed road shoe inspired by the Escalante 1.5 (the cult favorite). Lightweight, flexible, and versatile, it’s perfect for your speed sessions, daily runs, and even everyday walks.

Why you’ll love it

• FootShape™ Original fit: a roomier toe box so your toes can move naturally.
• 0 mm drop: a more natural, stable foot position—true to Altra’s “Zero-to-Low Drop” DNA.
• Low cushioning + ground feel: a connected ride that’s ideal when you want to feel the road.
• Altra EGO™ foam: responsive, comfortable cushioning to enjoy mile after mile.
• High flexibility: a sole designed to move naturally with you thanks to flex grooves.

Comfort & upper

The engineered knit upper delivers a softer, more forgiving sock-like hold. The knit tongue, like on earlier Escalante models, improves comfort and freedom of movement.

What’s new on the Escalante 4

• Updated engineered knit upper for a softer, more forgiving fit.
• Knit tongue for improved comfort while moving.
• Less rubber on the outsole: reduced weight and improved flexibility.
• Reworked footbed for more comfort, with a feel closer to the Escalante 1.5 / 2.0.
