This shoe offers a wide toe box, a zero drop heel, and a responsive ride. The breathable knit upper helps keep feet cool and provides a soft, comfortable fit. It's not just a running shoe either. Altra's Escalante 4 can be used as a walking shoe as well. The natural foot bed Altra provides allows for a more holistic option in a market filled with high cushion interests. Fit & Sizing The sizing of the Altra Escalante 4 is true to size. We have found no problems in terms of length. The width feels true to size as well but, if you have never had a wide toe box shoe it may feel off at first. Adjusting to the wider toe box should only take a few wears.
