Like all other Altra shoes, there is no drop between the heel and the front of the shoe meaning the heel and the forefoot are the same height off the ground. If you want to forget that you’re wearing shoes around town, the Escalante is a great option. I also just like to wear the Escalante and go on a skateboard or go grocery shopping. However, for long stretches where you’re not doing a lot of hard turning, you’ll be just fine But if you’re looking to work out in a gym or do some sort of CrossFit or something where you’re looking for a zero-drop shoe, you’re just going to have some issues with your foot sliding around.
In other words, you can just downshift into cruise control and run long distances in this thing, and then somewhere in the middle of your workout, you can start picking up the pace. That adaptability is key in the Escalante. It’s great for long stretches if you want to strengthen your feet but also good for speedwork. You’re going to be able to get a nice high cadence and high turnover without too much fatigue. With a minimal outsole and a super tight responsive yet cushioned midsole, you’re able to get pretty fast in the Escalante. I use the Torin mainly for longer distances when I need something that I can just grind endless miles and I don’t really want to think about my feet or my knees. Honestly, I prefer having them both in my running shoe rotation. I get asked a lot whether I prefer minimalistic shoes or more maximum cushioning shoes. Here’s the main differences between the Altra Torin and the Escalante if you’re looking for a quick answer…
