Vanish Carbon introduced Altra's carbon-plated road-racing line. Altra EGO PRO foam works with a partial-length Propel Plate extending from the midfoot toward the toes, allowing flex while assisting forward motion. Active Stance Rocker supports an efficient toe-off. A roomy FootShape toe box, breathable mesh upper and EVA-foam outsole complete its zero-drop platform for road races and marathons.
