Rigid front arch band - Be careful about fit

I've run in the Altra Escalante for years (9 orders on Ebay). I have loved the minimal sole, the wide toebox and the lightweight cloth mess upper.Since they have discontinued their 2.5 and Road Racer series, I bought the the Escalante 3. Same toebox, but there is a rigid mesh that is on the front arch that can't be loosened. I don't think my foot has a high arch, but it hits me just wrong and gives me pain with every step. Nothing I can do with lacing that will remove this tightness/pain. Even…

Pros
  • Take a look at the previous black Escalante and see how the new "black" is actually slate blue.
Cons
  • Same size I’ve worn in Escalante 2.5 but way smaller now. Like a full size smaller.

No wide sizes? best in my review

I have a wide foot, and these are not wide shoes, especially in the arch. I couldn’t even squeeze the foot in with a shoe horn. Why no extra wide sizes?

Pros
  • January 11, 2022
Cons
  • The ALTRA Escalante 3 Men's Road Running Shoe may not be suitable for individuals with wider feet due to its narrow design

Great for wide feet

I’m a long time New Balance customer due to the wide widths that they offer. But I’m pretty sure I have found the last shoe I’ll ever need. It’s comfortable in its standard size. I use them on the trail, road and in the gym. Then I can turn around and work a 12 hour shift on the unit. They seem to be holding up better than the last few pair of NB shoes I’ve purchase and few just a few bucks more, they are worth it.

Pros
  • Enhanced Durability: Built to last, the ALTRA Escalante 3 Men's Road Running Shoe boasts a highly durable rubber sole that offers excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces, meaning you can wear them for any weather. The shoe's improved flexibility accommodates the natural movement of your foot, allowing it to stand up to the demands of high-impact running
Cons
  • The price point of the shoe may be higher than other road running shoes on the market, making it less accessible for budget-conscious runners
