Altra Running

  THE VANISH CARBON  

We’re bringing FootShape™ comfort to the magical world of carbon-plated shoes. Introducing the Vanish Carbon– an all-new race shoe from Altra Running.  

HALF-PLATE. 

FULL SPEED.

  We said a hard ‘NO’ to a full-plated 

carbon shoe, which we believe can

fundamentally alter the way your 

body was designed to run. So, we 

partnered with carbon fiber expert

 Carbitex™ to design a plate that 

naturally flexes with your foot, 

providing an added boost and 

propulsion in every stride.  

ROCKER. ON.

Our rocker shape geometry is 

designed to give the feeling of 

being propelled forward with each 

step and provides an efficient toe-off 

without taking away from your 

natural stride. 

ALTRA EGO™ PRO.

  We named it PRO for a reason. 

Introducing EGO™ PRO, our 

lightest foam designed to 

cushion you mile after 

fast mile.  

  

FOOTSHAPE™: GOT FAST.

The Vanish Carbon features 

our Slim FootShape™ Fit, designed 

to achieve a perfect race-day fit. 

This feature encourages your toes 

to relax and sit naturally giving you 

the power and stability you need 

for fast, long-distance runs.  

We were obsessed making a carbon shoe that delivered on performance that carbon has brought to the long, fast run. But we were not going to sacrifice our commitment to our bodies working in harmony with our shoes.

17, our magic number. We made and tested 17 prototypes to get our first, true long-distance speed shoe. Each version better than the last. Each version more and more in tune with how our bodies run.

Our overly obsessive commitment to discover new and innovative solutions, has resulted in the uniquely designed Vanish Carbon.  

" The Vanish Carbon is the 

intersection of performance 

and natural movement.

I love the carbon half-plate

feature. Running in the Vanish Carbon 

is not only freeing but when the finish 

line comes into view, they help 

find that next gear."

The Vanish Carbon feels like 

all the things I love about my 

Altra trainers combined with the 

innovative performance 

elements of a race shoe.

When I first put them on, 

I could feel my body soar 

into action, feeling capable 

and propelled forward with 

each step. These shoes 

helped elevate my training 

and racing game, all while 

staying true to all the 

Altra team and ethos we love. "

COMFORT, MEET SPEED.
