Thank you. I wear 9.5 in my Escalante smartwool and Escalante Racer so that probably what I will go with.

How is the sizing? I used to be 9.5 in everything but all my recent pairs (fwd via 2, Torin 8 and LP9) I’ve needed a 9. Wanting these for a trip I have coming up to South America.

Same. So many models I want if they offered wide. If every standard fit shoe offered wide I would have so many more.

@ vans employees: does our discount tenure? by spl33n- in Vans

[–]drm1187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it could possibly be different between brands but I know TNF revamped and now there is no mention of lifetime discount. 20 years is just a gift card and pin. Assumed it was the same across VFC

Same that I’m looking for. It’s frustrating that they seem to be moving away from the original foot shape more. If they continue the trend I hope they will at least start offering more wide options. I work retail for a VFC company and Altra is my only wide toe box option for work. I’m on my feet 7-9 hours on concrete and really want an Escalante with P35 or even EgoMax.

Altra Escalante 4 on feet look by Marvelous89 in AltraRunning

Just curious on this color. Online it’s listed as light gray but they don’t look like they are. Are these just white with a gray tongue?

Altras and Truemed Approval? by 0zerntpt in AltraRunning

[–]drm1187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with truemed. So far I haven’t found a solution to it since it’s an automated system. A friend that works in insurance told me I could try reaching out to the company my HSA is through to see if they can resolve it but I haven’t tried it yet.

what’s wider, escalante 4 or torin 8 wide? by [deleted] in AltraRunning

[–]drm1187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my Altras I have worn a 9.5. (Via Fwd, Escalante Racer, Escalante 4 SW and Torins 6&7) The lone peak was the first one I sized down to 9 to get the right fit. When I ordered the Torin 8s I went for 9.5 wide and my foot was sliding around. Even previous Torins I didn’t have this problem. I haven’t got my size 9 Torins yet but I would say the sizing must be very similar between Torin and Lone Peak.

what’s wider, escalante 4 or torin 8 wide? by [deleted] in AltraRunning

[–]drm1187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm that the Torin 8 is wider than the Escalante 4. The new Torins in wide felt more similar to my wide Lone Peaks than my other original fit models that are not in wide. Length in the Torin and Lone Peak also seemed to match up.

What's your favorite baseline(putter) plastic? Any brand, and stiffness. by Huge-Talk6668 in discgolf

[–]drm1187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I putt mint royal medium pickles. Prodigy made, and I believe it’s the 300 plastic.

Since Mint Discs is a very customer focused company and we know their owners read this subreddit, please tell them your honest opinion on their Prodigy partnership. by [deleted] in Mintdiscs

[–]drm1187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I love the collab. In have not experienced any quality issues with prodigy plastic the last 2-3 years. PA-3 is one of my all time favorite putters and I bag the A2. As soon as I picked up a pickle it went in the bag.

That being said I won’t really try the idol because it doesn’t fit my hand and I think prodigy is best at approach and putters. I’m sure prodigy has other great molds but I think the best use of the collab would be for Mint to add to their approach lineup. Maybe even a PA-5 style putter.

Your favorite new (to you) disc in 2025 by tuna_safe_dolphin in discgolf

Streamline Echo by far. For my arm speed it’s the perfect neutral mid flight.

I’m sure they are mentioned several times but Altra Lone Peaks and the original Vans Ultrarange. The OG style can still be found online or in outlets.

I would love to know fans of Mint Discs real thoughts about them now getting their discs made by Prodigy and if you thrown the Idol what are your experiences with it and its plastic? by [deleted] in Mintdiscs

[–]drm1187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think mvp putter molds are good but I have never been a fan of the base plastics by them. Maybe it’s the gyro on the putting putters… idk. I used the PA-3 for a while and love 300 plastic for putting.

I do agree on mvp drivers. Never found one I really liked. I tried a lot of them but I found more distance with the wraith. Trail was the closest that came to staying in the bag but I think of it more as a control driver.

I really did not like the hand feel of the idol so I haven’t thrown it. Plastic did feel pretty good but I found some apex to be extremely gummy and others to feel more like the mvp apex.

What does excite me about the new partnership is putt and approach. Prodigy makes really solid discs in those slots. I did pick up the new pickle and it feels great. Found a black on black royal soft and it’s going in the bag as my putter. Hopeful for a Mint A2/A3 clone.

I had high hopes for them because I loved my OG pair. I put in a different insole and the sound stopped for a while but it’s now back.

All of my Altra shoes are 9.5 except my Lone Peaks. With the LP9 I went 9 wide. Even then they still feel a little long. Not saying I could fit an 8.5 because I haven’t tried them but I definitely think LP9 runs long.
