## Overview

The Altra Men's Escalante Racer 2 is a lightweight (8.8 oz) road running shoe featuring a breathable engineered knit upper, a responsive Altra EGO midsole, and a low 22mm stack height with zero drop. Designed for speed and natural foot movement, it offers a roomy toe box and durable rubber outsole, making it ideal for fast training runs and race days.

## Description

It’s the simplicity and FootShape fit of the Escalante but even faster. We made it leaner, meaner, lighter, and more responsive. Whether it’s starting lines, speed workouts, or fast training runs, this road shoe is all of the fast you need to bust through some PRs and win some segments. It’s got an updated engineered knit upper for a comfortable and breathable fit. It’s got Altra EGO™ midsole foam for responsiveness and direct connection to the ground, with a touch of firmness. We kept a lot of the great features of the classic Racer, including the low 22mm stack height for quick turnover and a roomy toe box and zero drop for natural movement. The Escalante Racer 2 is one of the most direct, no-BS shoes we’ve ever crafted.

Review: Comfortable for long road runs - Comfortable and lightweight, and they have good ventilation and dry quickly. They are zero drop and have a wide toe box. I'm transitioning to barefoot shoes and these are ideal for longer road runs. I've done a half marathon in them with no issues. Can't say how long they'll last but I've done 45 miles so far and can't see any wear yet. There was a good review on runrepeat and I couldn't find the normal Escalante in my size, so got these instead, and I think they might be better.
Review: Good - So far so good, the mesh keeps your feet fresh but if think of using them in rain you will end up with wet feet. Otherwise, enough room in toe box
