Altra Vanish Carbon & Tempo for Versatile Training & Speed

The Altra Vanish family is all about speed. These road racers want to lace up with you when it’s time to get the PR that you’ve been training for. The Vanish Carbon is the highest octane; the Vanish Tempo is almost as quick. Like most Altra running shoes, they’re zero drop with a roomy toe box. But these styles are built with special racing qualities, like a Rocker-Shape Geometry for extra momentum, a Slim FootShape™ Fit for a quicker stride, and EGO™ PRO Midsole Foam to cushion the race.

The Differences Between Altra Vanish Carbon and Tempo

In this speed racing family, Carbon and Tempo share more similarities than differences. The Altra Vanish Tempo is a responsive, high cushion road running shoe with a rocker shape to keep you moving forward and a durable rubber outsole. It will thrive during speed workouts at the track and tempo runs, but it’s also a formidable race day sneaker. 

The Altra Vanish Carbon is built with one extra dimension to bring you even more breakout speed: a Carbitex™ half-plate to enhance propulsion. In contrast to the Experience Family collection, which places a premium on durability, efficiency, and comfort for daily workouts, the Vanish Carbon is the racer of the Altra family.
