Description
It’s the simplicity and FootShape fit of the Escalante but even faster. Altra 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. They 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 Altra ever crafted.
- With Altra’s signature FootShape fit, you get our roomiest toe box with plenty of room to help your toes move freely, and space through the midfoot
- Zero-to-Low Drop shoes are built to place your foot in a natural position, with a stable and confident foundation to run on
- Connect with the ground and stay comfortable with unique Altra EGO™ midsole foam

1st pair of Altra!

Very nice running shoes, feels very ligth and fast. To be used only during summer and in dry weather due to the light mesh.
Sizing different from version 1

It's a good shoe.. but they changed the original so much. I ran 1000 km in my pair of the first version Racer. Absolutely loved them. This is quite a step down in quality and feel. Gave these away.
