escalanate racer

Altra Escalante Racer – Men’s

Just like the Escalante, but a little bit thinner and a little bit lighter. The Altra Escalante Racer has a foot-shaped toe box wide enough to fit Correct Toes for most feet. 

The sole is flat with a slightly beveled toe spring but is zero-drop, so there’s no heel elevation. Compared to most cushioned road running shoes, the Escalante Racer is pretty flexible in all directions. The 22 mm stack height of the Escalante Racer is 2 mm less than the Escalante but is still pretty substantial compared to other shoes in the natural footwear realm. And cushioning will obviously dampen sensory perception and proprioception compared to something more firm.

The lightweight Altra Escalante Racer (6.8 oz) also has a super breathable mesh upper, while the regular Escalante (9.5 oz) comes with a more robust sock-like engineered knit upper. The Escalante Racer probably has the lowest stack height and is the most lightweight and flexible of the current Altra footwear.

primus lite III

Vivobarefoot – Women’s Primus Lite III Vegan Light

The Primus Lite is one of the first shoes produced by Vivobarefoot and is now in its 3rd iteration. The toe box is shaped like a healthy foot, providing ample room for a wide toe splay, and comfortably fitting Correct Toes for most. Like all Vivos, the Primus Lite III is completely flat, without even a hint of toe spring or heel elevation. This shoe is very flexible in all directions and the 4 mm stack height outsole allows for excellent proprioception potential.

The Primus Lite is a relatively low volume shoe and while the upper is certainly flexible, it’s not very elastic. So thicker feet that have more subcutaneous fat and more volume may find this shoe to feel too small, even if the length and width are appropriate. Loosening the laces or removing the insole can help create more volume within the shoe to help accommodate for this.

The Primus Lite III shines best as a multi-purpose athletic sneaker. This shoe performs well in the gym, while walking and running, and even for causal wear. The Primus Lite definitely provides the
foot with one of the most barefoot-like experiences a shoe can offer—every step taken in one is an excellent opportunity to strengthen and train your feet.

If you love the Primus Lite, but want something a bit more rugged, look no further than the Primus Trail II All Weather.
