The Altra Escalante Racer 2 is built in the mould of a classic racing flat, with a low stack height of propulsive Altra EGO foam, and a zero heel to toe drop, you get a close to the pavement feel for agile and responsive runs. Updated with a sleeker design that gives a great contemporary feel, comfortable away from your speed work, it uses an updated engineered mesh upper for a comfortable, breathable fit. Simple, clean, but certainly not basic, it's been taken back to the basics for a direct, fast feel.
