Step into speed with the Altra Escalante Racer 2, a leaner, meaner, and more responsive version of the classic Escalante. Designed for starting lines, speed workouts, and fast training runs, this road shoe delivers all the performance you need to chase personal records and push past your limits. With an updated engineered knit upper, the Escalante Racer 2 combines style, breathability, and comfort for distraction-free strides.
The Original FootShape fit allows your foot to sit naturally, giving toes the room to splay while providing a secure midfoot lockdown through the lacing system. Underfoot, the firmer Altra EGO™ midsole foam delivers responsive cushioning and outstanding rebound with each step. Coupled with a 22mm stack height and zero-drop platform, this shoe encourages natural, low-impact running mechanics while keeping you connected to the ground.
Durability and forward propulsion come from the abrasion-resistant rubber outsole, featuring FOOTPOD technology to support natural foot movement and INNERFLEX grooves to enhance flexibility. Whether you’re attacking tempo runs or chasing new PRs, the Escalante Racer 2 is built for speed, comfort, and natural motion — one of the most direct, no-BS shoes Altra has ever made.
