ESCALANTE RACER 2 | SPEEDWORK, RACING, WALKING

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.

ALTRA OUR BRANDALTRA OUR BRAND

OUR BRAND

Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running.

ALTRA OUR PURPOSEALTRA OUR PURPOSE

OUR PURPOSE

Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

ALTRA OUR INNOVATIONALTRA OUR INNOVATION

OUR INNOVATION

Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.

    Comfortable and fast
    Mesh uppers are super breathable. They wear similarly to other Altra models. Nice and light with not too much cushion. I wouldn’t recommend unless you are accustomed to zero drop shoes. If you are, they are the best for racing.

    One go-to daily wear shoe.
    I love this shoe. Super light, very breathable, nice and wide in the toe box, comfortable and easy. I do not wear it for running, however, just walking/daily wear. The overall construction is a little too loose for me for running, and the cushion/energy return is lower than I prefer for running. But daily wear, perfect.

    Great shoe!
    I LOVE THESE SHOES!! The fit is perfect! My last pair of running shoes constantly gave me blisters on long runs so I was looking for a better fitting shoe. The arch support is really great! I have weird feet but these fit the bill for walking or running. I bought a second pair in anticipation of wearing the current pair out. They’re super light weight and are super breathable. I think they look really good too. Will definitely be buying another pair!

    New version of escalate Racers is very different from the previous version
    Overall it’s a good shoe and I’ll keep it, mostly for indoor treadmill running.Since I am the owner of the previous generation of this shoe, here is the comparison – to help anyone looking to upgrade.This should be named something other than Escalante Racer 2. Otherwise it confuses those of us who had the previous model (original Escalante Racer) and buy this one as a replacement.- Racer 1 is basically a sock with a thin sole. That’s what I wanted to buy again.- Racer 2 is much beefier and thicker in all places, which places it in a different category of shoes for me. It’s no longer a barebone lightweight shoe. With the additional protections in place, now it wants to travel outdoors and possibly on a trail.The current version does not look, feel, or fit the same as previous version. This one fits closer to a Altra Solstice training shoe.- Running in Racer 2 is as comfortable as in Racer 1, but you will need to get used to slightly different ergonomics.The sole on Racer 2 is a bit thicker, resulting in less feel of the surface.Padding around the heel is much thicker too.Toe box is no longer fully flexible. Rigidity is due to the added guard from the rocks (in yellow under the mesh).Shoelaces got tossed immediately after the purchase, due to color. I replaced mine with neon green ones. If you plan to order new shoelaces, the length is 50”.

    Awesome Shoes
    I love these shoes. I wish they made a trail version of these. I know they have the Superior 7 but those are a narrow toe box.

    Light, flat, wide, responsive, and great ventilation.
    For those that want a lightweight responsive shoe with loads of ventilation, zero drop, and a wide toe box, I don’t think you can do better. I hope the small tweaks made to the previous version increase the durability. I’ll definitely be going back for another pair when these wear out.

    Good shoe, didn’t last long enough
    I really liked these BUT three months in traction is gone and a piece fell off the sole. I didn’t even run lots of miles in these.

    Une fois la chaussure enfilée, on se demande pourquoi il subsiste un tel espace à l’arrière et sur les cotés du talon… une espèce de vide sanitaire qu’on ne retrouve pas sur L’escalante 4 et dont on se demande à quoi il peut bien servir !?

    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.

    Quando aggiornano delle scarpe da running con cui mi sono trovato benissimo, ho sempre il timore di aggiornamenti che stravolgono la bontà della versione precedente.Timore infondato stavolta.In più, trovate ad un prezzo molto interessante su amazon (105€, quando altra le vende a 140€)

    The shoes are comfortable and a big change from my conventional running shoes. The wide toe-box area makes the shoe very comfortable for running. I bought the shoes as a transitional shoe from my normal running shoes to barefoot running shoes and to cover my training for a half marathon. So far I ran in them ca. 150 km and they held up well. I would recommend them to everyone, who is looking for a more agronomical and comfortable running shoes for transitioning to minimalist barefoot style running to keep up with training needs.
