Altra Escalante 5 Men's - Triple Black

$269.99

The Altra Escalante 5 Men's in Triple Black is a zero-drop road running shoe for everyday kilometres. It suits runners who like a low, flat platform and a roomy, foot-shaped toe box. Altra EGO foam adds a light, lively feel without a bulky stack, and the engineered knit upper keeps things secure. Wear it for easy runs, short tempo efforts or a day on your feet.

  • EGO foam gives a lively, light feel rather than a dead one.
  • The roomy toe box lets your toes spread out as you land.
  • The knit upper wraps the foot without feeling stiff.
  • An all-black look that goes with everything.

Plenty of runners want zero drop without going full minimalist. The Escalante 5 covers that gap with a 24mm stack, so it feels natural but still has some give on hard pavement. It is an easy first step into Altra's flat platform.
