Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.
Are you Sure?
Our Rewards Program is completely FREE and easy to use.
By opting out, you forfeit all the Moosejaw Rewards Dollars your currently have in your account, which is basically throwing away free money. What would your grandmother say about that? If you're 100% sure, please click "OptOut" below.
Earn 10% back on all full-priced purchases on Moosejaw.com or at our shops (2.5% for discounted items).
The program is FREE. Just register and join during the checkout process. So Easy.

On to my third pair now : )I started my running journey about two years ago. My boyfriend bought this shoe for me shortly thereafter. I had tried a couple other shoes and I came to find out quickly that minimalistic was the way to go for me. I love this shoe. I didn't know until I knew. I found my running shoe and truly I have no complaints with this shoe. It works for me and I will continue to buy more pairs as needed. With this last pair, I did take the suggestion and go up a half size and I feel it's a better fit. My other pairs worked well but the extra half size gives my toes more room to breathe and stretch.

Marathon perfect! BQ qualfied thanks to these shoesI migrated to Altra Running in 2019, first with Torins (not love at first fit) then to the Altra Escalantes. Soon after, I migrated to the Racer for a half marathon which I got a PR in. Now years later, majority of my training is in these shoes... and I just ran a BQ marathon with a time of 3:43:47 (I am 45!) These shoes are the simply the best. My legs felt great during marathon (outside one charlie horse episode - likely dehyrdration issue). I returned to running 4 days later. The mesh top is part of what makes this shoe so spectacular. If you are in a wet marathon or triathlon, the shoes drain water quickly so the shoe is never heavy, this is a big deal during a marathon or even half a marathon, you don't lose precious time because the shoe is wet and soggy. I wear these shoes in runs when it is 12 degrees out. I have no issues. Best shoe on the market.

Love walking from
YesI use them for walking 3miles a day. Toe box is why I buy them, but the laces are too short always have to buy new one. The no drop is perfect for my balance, I do have to add cushion.

Shoes that fit are hard to find from
Not the Escalante 2.5This is definitely not the escalante 2.5. Close, but no cigar. The width is far too narrow. They need to make a true wide size shoe. And the shoestrings were way too short. They provide the heel lock slot, which the escalante 2.5 was missing, but no way you can use that with the shoestrings provided. Good shoe, but not great like the escalante 2.5. The escalante 2.5 would have been perfect if it had had the heel lock slot.

Third pairI am a nurse and wear as my work shoe. I also use it for workouts although wish Altra would come Up with a more reinforced toe for lateral movements. I tend to remove the shoes for lateral movements in workouts. But honestly they are my favorite shoe, just more for unilateral movement. Also, mesh forefoot makes these not outdoor friendly in winter (cold) or rain (wet). Hasn't stopped me from buying three pair.

EXACTLY what I was looking for in a running shoeGetting back into running and wanted a little something more than the minimalist Vivo I was wearing. I still wanted that responsive ride where I could feel the ground beneath me with a smidge of cushion like a yoga mat provides. This shoe gave me this along with a zero drop and roomy toe box. Love them. I choose these from 6 other styles and brands of running shoes without hesitation.

Best Altra shoes, would buy them again and againI am a runner and these are my absolute favorite shoes. They fit my foot like a glove. I love the narrow heel but wide toe box. These shoes have great ground feel, I love how the foam is firmer and more responsive than the regular Escalantes, which are way too squishy. I also liked the Outroads for mixed road/trail runs, but the Outroad toe box is slightly too narrow for me and there's not as much ground feel. Although these shoes are marketed as racers, I use them regularly for my everyday training runs. They allow me to get more posterior chain activation because of the zero drop, and better big toe control due to the responsive/firm nature of the foam and the wide toe box. (Please consider making the regular Escalante foam more responsive/firm as well.) The upper is lightweight yet durable, after having them for months they are completely intact. I also love how the heel cup is flexible and not rigid/cardboard like most other shoes. PLEASE NEVER CHANGE OR GET RID OF THIS SHOE!! My only suggestion: PLEASE MAKE THIS SHOE IN BETTER COLORS. The blue and black are just strange and wacky color designs. They look outdated and way too bright. I want the gray, but it is out of stock. Would appreciate having this shoe in more appealing pinks/purples/whites, like the Outroad pink/white color.

Did not work for meOverall the shoe felt too wide. The does not have any arch support nor is it even contoured for my arch. This is my third pair of Altar's and I generally prefer minimalist type shoes, and barefoot type styles, but this shoe didn't work for me. It's a nice looking shoe but doesn't feel nice
