Altra Men's Escalante Racer Shoe - 11 - Black / Lime

The Escalante Racer is the 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. FootShape Toe Boxraditional running shoes feature pointy toe boxes that squeeze the toes out of their natural position—increasing risk of bunions, hammertoes and plantar fasciitis. Altra’s FootShape toe box allows the toes to relax and spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position. This reduces over-pronation, enhances stability and creates a powerful toe-off to maximize running performance. Balanced cushioning platformPlaces your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage proper, low-impact form throughout your trail run. InnerflexGrid-like grooves in the midsole allow your foot to flex while being lighter, for more speed and better performance. FootPodAn outsole technology that actually maps the bones and tendons of your foot to help it bend and move naturally. Altra EGODual-nature midsole compound with a responsive, yet soft feel for increased energy return.
