Altra Escalante 4 or Escalante 3 - what changed 

Thank you!!

Me too!

I only started wearing the Escalante with version 3. I have run in the run regular Olympus, but have not owned the Via Olympus (I know several people that like them). I do like Atreyu shoes.

I have not seen it in my pair of 4's yet. I have about 85 miles on my pair. However, it might still happen, I tend to raise my big toe quite a bit Thank you for watching!!!

I guess so. I compared the insoles of the Escalante 4 vs the Lone Peak 8. The Escalante is definitely as wide in the forefoot but appears to be slightly more narrow in the midfoot

I think the length feels slightly longer. I think the width is probably about the same, however, the stretchier knit upper lets it feel more accommodating.

Interesting! I realized when I weighed them before I had the insoles out of my Escalante 3's. ,,,, 😜When I reported weights in the video though I used the size 9 from Altra website. Weighing my men's size 11.5, I am getting 10.5 ounces for the Escalante 3 and 9.95 ounces for the Escalante 4. It does appear the 4's are lighter. I pulled out the insoles from the 2 versions of the shoes and they appear identical to me. However, the 4's do feel a little wider, but they could just be due to the stretchier upper.

@@TheOldUltraRunner lighter is always good, and wider too (for me) 😁🤞

I did not run with model on each foot.

@@TheOldUltraRunner You could… You’d Look funny but you’d feel the difference between the 2 iterations:)

@@BrunoDECOURCY, I should start doing that test

Interesting. I guess the stretchy upper material on the 4 helps?

The 4 is much wider than the 3 according to runrepeat teardown, it's also lighter. I remember reading somewhere that Altra didn't measure the weight using the standard US 9 now. Maybe you can weigh yours to find out. Lastly, Altra list Escalante 4 as Original Fit on their website.
