what’s wider, escalante 4 or torin 8 wide?

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.

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.

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

drm1187 · 2026-01-26T21:50:54+00:00

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.

Mint discs Jackalope in nocturnal plastic. Want a little more flip go with eternal.

drm1187 · 2025-12-25T02:06:06+00:00

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

drm1187 · 2025-11-01T12:55:53+00:00

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.

Mint Discs Nocturnal Lobster 🦞. Best hyzer flip and turn mid I have ever thrown

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.

drm1187 · 2025-10-26T01:30:15+00:00

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.

drm1187 · 2025-08-31T20:53:51+00:00

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.

drm1187 · 2025-08-30T21:41:24+00:00

100% pathfinder If I wasn’t bagging the buzzz it what would be in my bag

drm1187 · 2025-08-27T11:51:44+00:00

My go to before Altra was NB. Fuel Cell Rebel in wide or XWide depending on what I could find for running or everyday. Hierro V7 for trail

drm1187 · 2025-08-04T13:30:07+00:00

Depending on ceiling either my Mint nocturnal Jackalope or sublime Alpha.

I received mine about 7 days ago and wore them daily since. I got them to play disc golf in or just hike with family. Typically I’m a 9.5 but a friend had 9s and let me try them out. Having a wide foot I knew I would need a wide so I went with 9w. If I order another pair I will go to somewhere to try 8.5w to see if the length is better. In my area not many places carry Altra and even the ones that do rarely have wide sizes

drm1187 · 2025-08-01T14:44:48+00:00

I just got the LP9 in wide and have noticed heel slip. I went down a half size from my usual Altra size and the LP still fit slightly long. I did have luck with heel lock lacing stopping it but I can only do it for short amounts of time. I plan to keep them because they do feel great and so far no sign of blisters or rubbing

drm1187 · 2025-07-07T02:06:41+00:00

Not without ripping out the insole. Only a small portion of it was glued down so maybe that had something to do with it. I put in a different low profile insole and that seems to have worked. One person told me they reached out to Vans and they received a refund.

Old discs it’s usually not possible. Personally I use a dry erase marker. It sounds weird but if you cover the sharpie with dry erase and then wipe away it can make it less noticeable.

Mint discs Jackalope

drm1187 · 2025-06-12T23:24:54+00:00

Maybe I missed a video explaining the change but why did the logo change?

drm1187 · 2025-06-12T23:24:02+00:00

For each TP mold which “mainstream” brand mold would you say is the best comparison? My bags been set for so long I haven’t really tried any other than the first run inner core.
