Best shoe period
Makes me sad that this blue is leaving production. I wear this show for all distances and prefer it over Riveras. Light and breathable, it's great for treadmills. Responsive for roads. Seriously, don't chamge this one!

One more YF downgrade
Bought to replace a pair of Escalante Racers from 2018. Substantial downgrade. The laces are not long enough to tie and it is just tighter all around. Very disappointed as I loved the original. What a way to ruin a brand.

Minimal in the best way
Great minimalist shoes! You get the feeling of being barefoot with protection. The mesh breathes very well.

Original Escalante racer is the best shoe ever made
My PB times were all in ORIGINAL Escalante racers, from 5K to marathon distances. By far my favorite shoe. Currently not available in my size (men's 10.5). PLEASE keep selling the original racers!

PLEASE BRING BACK THIS SHOE
The best shoe altra has made. It's a shame they try to reinvent the wheel on shoes that do not need to be changed in any way. KEEP SELLING THESE PLEASE

Favorite road shoes of all time
These are just my favorite road shoes. Light, responsive, and I feel agile in them.

DO NOT CHANGE THESE FANTASTIC SHOES!
Switched to these shoes about 1 year ago and have had zero (repeat ZERO) injuries since. Switching to neutral shoes took some getting used to but there's no going back once you become comfortable with them. Please do not change the original Escalante (V1). Also all the colors are sold out except for smaller sizes. Please restock them.
