The Altra Women's Escalante Racer 2 Running Shoes bring the simplicity and FootShape fit of the Escalante, but even faster. Built leaner, meaner, lighter, and more responsive, this road shoe is designed for speed from race day to tempo runs. An updated engineered knit upper delivers a comfortable, breathable fit while the Altra EGO midsole foam provides responsive cushioning and a direct connection to the ground. The low 22 mm stack height ensures quick turnover, while the roomy toe box and zero drop encourage natural movement. The Escalante Racer 2 delivers the lightweight performance and classic feel that fans of Altra love, now with even more precision and energy return.
