Altra Escalante Racer Womens Road Running Shoes Grey/Purple

The women’s Escalante Racer is the most responsive, light and fast road running shoe by Altra, inspired by the top selling Escalante. The Racer version is not a cushioned plod along rest day shoe, it is specifically designed for those experienced with Zero Drop, wider toe box  and firmer cushioning road shoes, for race days and fast training sessions.

The benefits of a responsive running shoe are vast; you’ll naturally run with better posture, a quicker cadence on on your midfoot, as there’s no forgiving cushioning!

The benefits of a more rounded toe box (FootShape Toe Box) are huge too. Your foot can spread out on impact, naturally help cushion your fall and propel you forward much better than when crammed into a narrow shoe.

Altra say: “The Escalante Racer is our even faster, higher performance version of the Escalante, only available for a limited time. The upper is firmer, highly breathable and has a lighter heel counter for optimum cornering and comfort on the race course. To top it off, the Altra EGO midsole is a touch firmer for a little more energy return and a little less cush. Each limited edition version is inspired by a major city and only available surrounding its respective marathon.”
