In this video I review the review the Altra Running Vanish Carbon
First I go through some concepts of drop in running shoes and show some video of the Vanish Carbon in action
Then I put them on the turntable so you can get a close look at them and I will list their specifications
Then review them
Finally I decide whether I can recommend them
As always I will put channel markers in so you can jump through to any section that might be of interest, the review follows on from the general concepts and running movie and you may prefer to jump head to that section
I made the video because I have long been interested in running in a Zero Drop shoe. Zero Drop does not mean zero cushioning and that was an attraction in this shoe. I had considered an Altra trail shoe but I didn’t know which one to review, and as I live in the city I have enough trail shoes. So when I saw Altra were bringing out a carbon plate road shoe I jumped all over them
