Lone Peaks are my favourite for trail, so I tried the Escalante 2.5 for road but the Escalante did not work for me at all. The mesh upper did not provide any structure and my foot moved all over the place. I’ve been wanting to try the new Torins but how does their upper compare to that of the Escalante? Do the Torins have more of a locked in feel or are they also really loose?

The Torin's definitely have less structure than the Lone Peaks but I think that's mainly because they lack any welded overlays like a trail shoe. They do have a nicely structured heel cup though. Hope that helps!

I like ultra shoes but I’ve just never been able to get totally transitioned too them. I dunno if they just don’t work for me or what it is. I found 4 to 6 mm drop works best for me as I’m still a forefoot striker but the zero just tears my legs up. I’m a pretty seasoned runner too been running off and on for almost 10 years.

Sizing is tricky but once you learn "altra sizing" it gets a little easier. These fit a lot like my Lone Peak's and Olympus. Unfortunately though, the durability hasn't held up long term.

Wow worn the sole so soon.. Typical shite quality from Altra

It's unfortunate. I've gone through 2 pairs since this video and both wore quickly.

I had similar worn on my Boston Escalante Racer around 350km mileage. Change to Hoka 6 then Hoka 7. Both had similar mileages around 850km before the outer soles worn. Thinking of going back to Torin 5 but the durability is an issue to me.. 😅
