Escalante 5

Daily TrainerRelease date 2026-07-24JP

Escalante 5 carries the line’s flexible, zero-drop road feel into daily runs, speedwork, and walking. It retains the 24 mm Altra EGO platform and engineered-knit concept from Escalante 4, while a redesigned collar and improved tongue refine fit and hold. The updated rubber outsole adds durability without losing ground feel. Original FootShape fit leaves room for toe movement on runs, commutes, and long days standing.

Intended uses:
Daily, Tempo, Walking
