Details About Women's Altra Vanish Carbon 2
Women's Altra® Vanish Carbon 2 :: The Altra Vanish Carbon 2 is a carbon-plated road racing shoe featuring a 0mm drop and unique foot-shaped toe box to deliver a natural ride and top performance on race day. The Altra Vanish Carbon 2 is a highly cushioned carbon-plated road racing shoe with a unique 0mm drop for a fast and natural stride. The stack height has been improved with an additional 3mm of Altra EGO PRO foam for an even more protective and dynamic underfoot experience. Meanwhile, a full-length carbon fiber plate has also been updated to increase asymmetry and is combined with the use of an Active Stance Rocker to create a more natural stride and enhance overall efficiency. In the outsole, rubber is strategically placed to ensure a low overall weight without losing the traction needed for fast turns. The Altra Vanish Carbon 2 is wrapped up with a minimal, yet secure upper that showcases Altra's Slim FootShape fit, offering a snug and comfortable feel while allowing ample room for the toes to splay. All in all, the Vanish Carbon 2 combines the very best from Altra's advanced technologies to take your race performance to the next level.
THE NUTS & BOLTS
- Best for racing on roads and pavement
- Stability neutral
- Altra EgoPRO midsole is Altra's lightest weight and most responsive supercritical TPE-based compound that is designed to be resilient and hyper-responsive
- Natural Ride System (NRS) design includes a more natural, foot-shaped last, zero millimeter heel-to-toe drop
- Metatarsal-specific shapes in the outsole assist in proper foot mechanics and allow for more natural foot movement
- Segmented Carbon Fiber Plate embedded in the forefoot and midfoot of the midsole and has a 3-pronged design for adaptability
- Asymmetrically flexible meaning that runners will feel natural and smooth flexibility when landing but then a stiff snappiness on toe-off
- Race-Inspired Upper is lightweight thin and built to provide a trustworthy lock-down on race day
- Slim Foot Design follows a more narrow design that provides a race-ready fit but keeps the brand's signature foot shape through the toe box
- Strategic Rubber Outsole provides nice durability and traction while keeping weight at a minimum
