VANISH TEMPO | MADE FOR SPEED

Introducing the Vanish Tempo, the newest edition to the Vanish family. Like the Vanish C, this shoe is bred for speed but defines it in its own way. This Vanish shoe comes equipped with our rocker shape geometry to help propel each step forward along with our Altra EGO PRO midsole foam to cushion each step for mile after mile. Created with our Slim FootShape Fit the Vanish T offers a more snug, comfortable fit for racing and training.

BALANCED CUSHIONING

Our Balanced Cushioning platform positions your heel and forefoot at an equal distance from the ground, encouraging better alignment, better form, and a low impact landing.

PERFORMANCE MINDED

Our rocker shape geometry is designed to give the feeling of being propelled forward with each step and provides an efficient toe-off without taking away from your natural stride.

OUR BRAND

Altra Running was founded on an innovative approach to running shoes. An approach that took us from the back room of a specialty running store to the front of the pack on roads and trails across the world. With innovation at our forefront, our founders created our first shoe with the help of a toaster oven. This was the start of our signature shoe construction to help you move naturally and has kept our brand going for a decade while aiming to keep you running.

OUR PURPOSE

Unleashing human potential by inspiring the world to move naturally is what Altra Running is all about. Our purpose is built around discovery, joy, responsibility, natural movement, and finding your potential.

OUR INNOVATION

Our wide-lacing system inspired our signature FootShape design to encourage natural movement. While a household toaster oven inspired our founders, FootShape and Balanced Cushioning has inspired thousands of people to unleash their human potential. That’s the foundation of Altra Running: innovative, disruptive thinking.

As other reviewers note, these shoes are comfy and stable. I've had trouble with rockered soles in the past, but the cutaway under the toes here does not cause twisting or accentuate pronation; in fact, it feels like in these shoes I'm getting a straighter stride. I suppose it's a good thing (?) for my joints, then, that the colors do not show accurately on the web, as I would have been scared away by the blinding day-glow orange that is here described as "coral". Honestly, to me, it's an appalling color, especially when paired with stark nurse-white, and makes the shoes downright ugly. Almost returned for the yellow/grey, but a close look at those photos makes me suspect that the yellow is neon... so, what the heck, I'll put on my shades and enjoy how these puppies FEEL! Altra, some subdued shades for these racy runners? [Narrow feet, usually 7.5 / 38 or 39; ordered 8 and that's the right size.]

This was my first pair of Altra shoes and they were very comfortable out of the box. I wish that was my happy ending. I wore them for walks in the neighborhood and around the house as I worked on healing severe plantar fasciitis. Loved the cushion and the zero drop. However, the rubber toe started peeling away within a few days. I almost contacted Altra then, but figured what I noticed was so minimal and that what I paid for these shoes meant it would not become a problem. It continued to peel away and is now a major eyesore. I contacted Altra through the warranty after just three months of light wear. Not only did they not get back to me without a second contact after more than a week, they insisted it was normal wear and tearnot a defectand would not replace or give any sort of credit. I have owned a lot of popular brand sneakers that cost far less and have worn them similarly for a longer period and NEVER experienced such an issue. I love the zero drop that Altra features but they don't stand behind their workmanship and I can't afford to buy $170+ shoes every three months. I will not buy Altra again.
