Escalante 4: What?s new?
Characteristics of the Altra Escalante 4
Flat cushioning. The Zero Drop platform offers total cushioning and places the heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground. This natural balance helps keep the feet, back, and body posture aligned to minimize shocks. Additionally, the Achilles tendon and lower calf muscles, weakened by wearing running shoes with elevated heels, are strengthened.
The FootShape toe box allows the toes to spread naturally and comfortably while keeping the big toe straight. This improves stability and increases the propulsion strength of the toes, optimizing running performance.
Advantages:
- The big toe remains straight, providing greater stability and increased propulsion strength.
- The toes can spread naturally and comfortably.
- The foot naturally compensates for any excessive pronation.
This outsole technology maps the placement of the bones and tendons of the foot to allow them to bend and move naturally.
Internal grooves incorporated into the midsole. By promoting multi-dimensional flexibility, they allow the feet to be more responsive, enhancing speed and performance. This technology reduces the weight of the shoe for an improved running experience in every way.
Like a tripod, this innovative technology reinforces the three zones that naturally contribute to foot stability, thereby helping to prevent collapse or excessive pronation of the foot.
Soft and comfortable material, dynamic and responsive.
