It’s the simplicity and FootShape fit of the Escalante but even faster. We made it leaner, meaner, lighter, and more responsive. Whether it’s starting lines, speed workouts, or fast training runs, this road shoe is all of the fast you need to bust through some PRs and win some segments. It’s got an updated engineered knit upper for a comfortable and breathable fit. It’s got Altra EGO™ midsole foam for responsiveness and direct connection to the ground, with a touch of firmness. We kept a lot of the great features of the classic Racer, including the low 22mm stack height for quick turnover and a roomy toe box and zero drop for natural movement. The Escalante Racer 2 is one of the most direct, no-BS shoes we’ve ever crafted.

Penelope ★★★★★

Wore these for a 5k time trial and the FootShape toe box let my toes splay on push-off, which felt noticeably quicker than my old trainers. The upper is basically nothing, so they breathe great on hot speed days.

Eva N. ★★★★★

These are the lightest racers I've owned, and the FootShape toe box keeps my wide feet from cramping late in a 5K. Took them on a speed workout and the responsiveness is real, though the cushioning is thin enough that I wouldn't take them past a 10K.

Steven ★★★★★

I've been racing in heavier shoes for years and the weight difference here is honestly wild — my legs aren't trashed after intervals anymore. The FootShape toe box lets my toes splay on push-offs, which I didn't know I was missing.
