Altra Vanish Carbon 2 Women's Running Shoes

Bringing FootShape comfort to the magical world of carbon-plated shoes, the Vanish Carbon 2 are the all-new race shoe from Altra.

Engineered Mesh Upper

Encasing feet with a layer of comfortable mesh, the uppers of the Vanish Carbon 2 provide feet with exceptional breathability and complete comfort. The soft design allows your foot to move comfortably, for more adaptable strides. The uppers are stylish and contemporary, whilst also working to prevent uncomfortable heat build-up, with the ability to disperse heat through strategic perforations in the fabric. The shoes have Altra's Slim FootShape Fit, their most slim-fitting option. This allows feet and toes to relax and sit more naturally, giving you the power and stability you need for fast, long-distance running. Completing the upper construction is a lacing system that locks the midfoot for distraction-free strides.

Altra Ego Pro Midsole

The Vanish Carbon 2 utilises Altra Ego Pro technology, providing your feet with supreme cushioning and rebound. Altra Ego Pro is used throughout the construction and is Altra's lightest midsole foam design yet. This allows you to go the distance, whilst providing cushioning in every step, mile after mile. To ensure feet remain stable, secure and comfortable, the shoes utilise a Balanced Cushioning platform, which positions your heel and forefoot at an equal distance from the ground, ensuring a low-impact landing. This zero-drop platform means feet have a more natural alignment with the ground. Additionally, the shoe's rocker shape geometry has been designed to give the feeling of forward propulsion with every step. This, therefore, ensures you have an efficient toe-off without affecting your natural stride. A unique Carbitex carbon plate resides through the midsole construction of these running shoes, designed to flex naturally with your foot, adding boost and propulsion to every stride. Finally, the soft insole allows the foot to sit comfortably inside the shoes.

Durable Rubber Outsole

The shoes use a rubber outsole to provide additional comfort and flexibility underfoot. The outsole is highly durable, allowing you to run mile after mile without worrying they will wear quickly. This rubber compound provides great traction on a range of road running surface types, so you can stay focused on the run ahead. Flex grooves have been added to the sole, helping the shoe move with the foot for a more natural feel as you run.
