Altra made it faster. The Vanish Carbon 2 features a full-length carbon fiber plate; even more lightweight midsole foam for a soft feel; and improved flexibility. It’s ready to rocket you through a tough speed workout and obliterate PRs on race day. Negative splits? Oh; positively. Altra built it to perform by increasing the stack height from 33mm to 36mm; with Altra EGO PRO™ midsole foam that’s 32% lighter in weight. This updated foam is more pliable; for added cushion and response. An updated full-length carbon fiber plate delivers a 14% increase in asymmetry; allowing for a more natural (and probably faster) stride. This redesign overhaul combined with additional flex grooves in the outsole gives you 75% improved flexibility. With Altra’s signature FootShape fit; you get a roomy toe box with space for your toes to move freely; snug midfoot; and zero drop; so you can move the way you were designed to. Toe the starting line with confidence and swag in this techy race-day ready shoe.
