Breathable Knit Upper
Designed to provide complete comfort, the upper of the Altra Escalante 2.5 Women's Running Shoes has been constructed using a breathable knit. The knitted upper is specifically designed to adapt to your foot's movement without sacrificing performance. The knitted upper is comfortable, breathable, and lightweight, encompassing all the essential elements to create a smooth, distraction-free run. Not only does the knit upper work to provide a contemporary look and superior comfort but, it also works to increase ventilation to keep you cool. The knitted construction allows air to flow throughout the construction to reduce uncomfortable heat build-up; this creates a perfect micro-climate for your feet to thrive in. The sock-like fit ensures complete comfort for all-day wear by reducing the risks of chafing and irritation. Completing the upper is a lacing system that locks down the midfoot so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.
Altra Ego Midsole
In the midsole, the shoe uses extremely responsive and high-performing EVA. This provides the foot with supreme cushioning and rebound. Using Altra Ego, a technology developed that has a dual nature in the midsole, the compound within has a soft feel, yet it has an increased energy return. This will give you a spring in your step. The soft insole where the foot sits will guarantee long-lasting comfort. The zero-drop platform means that the heel and the forefoot are at the same height. This means that the feet have a more natural alignment with the ground. As well as this, the midsole also features Innerflex technology which offers increased flexibility so you can perform at an enhanced level.
Durable Outsole
Built to last, the durable rubber outsole is able to look after itself over the course of a long time. Abrasion-resistant, bumps, and scrapes on the road will be deflected away. In addition to this, grip and traction are guaranteed as the rubber can form a strong bond with any surface. Using Altra's Footpod technology, the rubber outsole maps the bones and tendons of the foot, making it bend and move in a more natural way.
