Altra Vanish Carbon 2 Running shoes designed with speed in mind
It’s light, fast, and designed with speed in mind.
The Altra Vanish Carbon has arrived for its second generation. Although the first version launched later than other brands, it received quite a positive response. Altra fans finally got to enjoy wide-toe shoes that focus on natural movement while also featuring a carbon plate. This year, it returns with the Altra Vanish Carbon 2, which is said to be "faster than before." This pair still features a full-length carbon plate (redesigned for 14% greater efficiency). The foam is lighter than before (up to 32% lighter) and feels softer (75% more flexible), ready to propel you forward and break your personal records (and maybe even make you run faster). The shoe stack height has also increased from 33 mm to 36 mm. The Altra Vanish Carbon 2 is ready to launch you from the starting line with confidence and propel you toward the finish line at top speed.

First impressions of the Altra Vanish Carbon 2
It’s a super-fast natural-style running shoe. You can really feel the soft and bouncy EGO PRO foam, as well as the shoe’s flex, which helps propel you forward. Altra is like nothing else now (the first version was already great, and this second version is just as impressive). I think Vanish Carbon 2 will easily keep pace with other shoes. The upper is breathable and comfortable. The toe box may not be as wide as on some other models, but it’s wider than most other brands. For those who like a fast-paced ride, the midfoot fit is secure, making it easy to sprint toward the finish line.
It’s a pair worth trying out to tackle the April heat.
