Altra Vanish-R

In its specific category "Racing", Altra Running has opted to complement its catalog of Running shoes born for speed with a variety of models, and one of its latest developments are the Altra Vanish-R, its most minimalist model, very close to the concept of natural running.

And is that its meager 119 grams of weight and the height of 14 mm of the sole are a statement of intent for the runner hooked to the competition, and, of course, to run fast and try to break records in short distance races until we overcome 10k

Altra Vanish-R, most relevant features

The idea pursued by the Utah manufacturer in these Altra Vanish-R Running shoes is none other than to provide a highly responsive running with the lowest possible weight. In this sense, the model includes a standard double layer of EVA, but that is combined with the exclusive Proper Plate technology, a plate whose primary mission is to offer a more flexible propulsion, but not vaya the detriment of firmness. In addition, this Proper Plate, as the Altra Vanish-R has a really low profile also help to avoid that feeling of "bottoming out".

Nor should we forget that another key to the success of these Vanish-R lies in its unique and exclusive Altra Running Zero Drop platform, which is able to place both the forefoot and heel area at the same distance from the ground. This means that the runner who wears these Altra Vanish-R will have to have a refined and excellent running technique, in addition to having great strength in the lower body and a correct body posture. These are the premises to be as efficient as possible and improve performance with this flying shoe from Altra Running.

Optimal fit and high breathability

As the Altra Vanish-R features an ultra-lightweight design, its upper is made of a seamless mesh, which provides an optimal fit, like that of a sock. The fabric stands out for being very thin, as if it were a paper, and very breathable.

The so-called Toe Box, which is wider than normal, contributes to a more natural extension and also provides comfort. The additional Vanish-R comes with a pair of 2 pairs of insoles, and the Quick Dry Air system, which promotes quick drying and increases breathability.

On the other hand, the Altra Vanish-R has an EVA outsole that also includes the FootPod foot mapping system, and strategic rubber inserts for increased durability.
