Altra Escalante 4 Men's Running Shoe

Most customers take their regular EU size in this model. See our sizing page for guidance on what we would consider your regular EU size.

Vivobarefoot uses gendered EU sizing: men's and women's sizing is the same length at the same number, but men's sizing is wider and taller in height, and vice versa.

Fit Notes:

• Since the Gobi II Sneaker is made from leather, it is expected to stretch out over time
• As with most Vivobarefoot models, the Gobi II Sneaker will fit individuals with a low to average foot volume 
• The Gobi II Sneaker will fit individuals with narrower feet
• The Gobi II Sneaker has laces that can help adjust fit and volume
• As with most Vivobarefoot models, the Gobi II Sneaker toe box is sloped

The Gobi II Sneaker, like many Vivobarefoot models, provide exceptionally minimal soles that offer optimal ground feel and flexibility.

With a 2.4 mm sole base and 1.3 mm tread depth, the Gobi II Sneaker only has a total stack height of 3.7 mm.

If you are new to barefoot or minimal shoes and used to a lot of cushioning and support, take it slow and easy with brief walks to get used to zero drop and sensory feedback from the ground.

For general use cleaning, Vivo recommends simply brushing off any mud and to clean with a damp cloth.

For drying, make sure to remove the insole and dry at room temperature. Avoid placing the shoes in direct sunlight or having them dry on a radiator.

Vivo suggests using Liquiproof Premium Protector to maintain the water resistant quality applied to the textile of the shoes.

With its timeless sneaker design and innovative materials, it offers a barefoot fit and feel that truly redefines how we move in harmony with nature. The perfect companion for the Spring/Summer when looking for something fashionable and simple to slip on.
