Altra Escalante Running Shoe - Men's Gray 9.5

I've been wearing Altras for about a year. Not always easy to find in stores but the triathlon store up the road turned me onto them with the Provisions about a year ago and they are my go to shoe! I bought a pair of Paradigms and they started to squeak on the left shoe but no worries that the store went out of business, the company had my back and took care of everything in less than a week. They are great for my feet and back, keep me centered and - as a shoe connoseur - fit the bill as the finest shoes I've ever owned for walking, running or just bring on your feet. I would highly recommend Altra shoes and being behind decks as a DJ/MC for hours on end... they are probably going to be my dress shoes as well as no matter what I spend on dress/dress casual my dogs are punished for hours after taking them off. Also, I started with these for proper foot placement as most shoes do NOT allow those piggies room to splay properly ending in knee, hip and back issues... These are what I wear and you should at least check them out as well.

I'm far from the demographic that Altra is targeting. I'm a 70 yr old with foot problems so severe I was going to ask to have my little toe amputated. My son-in-law, who is a tri-athlete, suggested I try these shoes that he uses with the wide toe box. I bought a pair of Escalantes and am amazed at the comfort I've found. I now experience no pain and wear them all the time. I wish I'd found these years ago
