Love it and here’s why.

Escalante 4's are my favorite road running shoes. Like you said, just simple and good. No frills. Much better than the 2.5, which felt very unstable.
My thoughts exactly .. thanks 🙏
I did not expect to love the Escalante 4's as much as I have. They feel effortless, like just an extension of my foot that I don't really thing about, im just enjoying running and moving and that's so fun.
Exactly, I totally agree…
Timeless shoe ⚡️ Love the Escalantes too man!
Could agree more. Thanks 🤩
Sounded great!
Thanks
Have you tried the Escalante racer (1 or 2)?
Sorry, no.. not tried it
Initial slip-on, the upper feels a bit stiff. Does it loosen up?
Yes it does… probably too much for some
Hi James. Hope you're well. Just a question: may I know the exact model of Salomon backpack that you are using at the moment in colour light green? Thank you in advance. Cheers
Hi. It’s the Salomon active skin 12
You need to try the Topo Cyclone 2. You'll never go back to Escalantes again. Same type of shoe but is far superior in every way.
5mm drop so different shoe completely
Have a seen it - looks pretty good 👍

It's a full Peba midsole. The way Peba compresses, it feels very much like a 0 drop. However, for some, the mild arch on TC2 might not be to their preference. I'm not flatted footed, so it suits me fine and, for me, results in a lot less impact forces and more protection than the Escalante in a much more lighter shoe.
Still have the 2.5, how does the 4 compare?
@@Mr80Miles hi. It actually feels very similar under foot to the 1.5 - didn’t have the 2.5 - that said, the overall fit / upper is more dialled in
Which color is that, the black or gray?
@@andreashjalmarsson9886 it’s black but to be honest more like a very dark grey - or faded black …
Anyone experience the tongue not being wide enough to cover your foot when the laces are tied? My socks show on the sides of the shoe where the lave holes are
Yeah, I know what you mean …
That's a scary looking shoe to me James. Not enough cushion for my poor battered feet / legs 🤣
You have fresh young legs Ben ! Spring chicken !
@movemorenowjames not anymore mate 🤣
They've sold out everywhere which is a shame.
Really? Have you tried northern runner, Altra, sportsshoe… or even eBay / Amazon? Good luck
@movemorenowjames yeah I believe so. Only have the sizes that nobody wants. Cheers though. Good review 👍
My feet are 26.3 cm and I got the 27.5cm one. Did I make a good choice? For ESCALANTE 4 SW
Sorry for the huge delay… I would say you should be fine … are you ?
@@movemorenowjames I got 9.5 and they are slightly long, but toes can spread awesomely barely. I think if id gone for 9 Length wise it would be a better fit, but maybe my pinky would have gotten pushed in a bit more since the curve would be less further away. I would not minbd tbne extra space, however, I am extremely dissapointed that these shoes have a toe spring... Ive been using striuctly vivobarefoots for some time and got these for running. But the toe spring messes with my arch and form. Causes my balance to feel awful as well as makes my lower back huirt. Makes me feel as if I were leaning backward. I actually think these shoes have a negative slope, being higuer in the toes actually than in the heel bacuse of the way the weight is diustributed on the,. I am dissapointed to say the leats. They feel mushy and unstable.. REALLY HATE THE TOE SPRING.,
My arch also crmaps while walking with these. For running they arent horrible, but defineatly not for walking.
Im using USA sizing for the comment now, its equivalent form the 27.5cm
Colors are very basic in 4th version....no yellow, no green, red etc
Just bought the White,. All of the other colors were sold out. I guess it will become a good weather shoe. And if i like it i'll buy an other set, :D
