Summary
The Altra Escalante Racer 2 is a performance-oriented running shoe designed for speed and agility, suitable for race day or faster training runs. Part of Altra's lineup, it stands out with its lightweight construction, responsive Altra EGO midsole, and streamlined design, which promote quick turnover and efficient energy return. The shoe maintains Altra's signature FootShape toe box and Zero Drop platform, providing a natural foot positioning and encouraging a low-impact stride.
