The men's Altra Vanish Carbon is Altra's brand new carbon fiber plate road running & racing shoe designed with a roomier FootShape toe box, Zero Drop from heel for forefoot and now with a real boost to speed from a carbon fiber plate designed to work with your feet. The FootShape toe box of the Vanish Carbon has some extra room for your feet to function, although not as wide as some models with a real focus on speed, and Zero Drop encourages you onto your midfoot and promotes better posture and form.
