Altra Escalante Racer 2 Women's Running Shoes

Altra Escalante Racer 2 – Women

The Escalante Racer 2 takes Altra’s signature simplicity and iconic FootShape™ fit—and makes it even faster. Lighter, more direct, and more responsive, it’s built for road running, speed sessions, and races where every second counts.

The updated engineered knit upper delivers performance-focused breathability and a comfortable fit. Underfoot, the Altra EGO™ midsole foam provides a lively ride with a direct connection to the ground, while keeping a touch of firmness to maximize propulsion.

With a low 22 mm stack height and a 0mm drop, the Racer 2 encourages a natural stride and quick turnover. The FootShape™ Original toe box gives your toes the room they need to move freely, improving stability and comfort—even at higher intensity.
