Review: Lightweight and comfy - Super comfortable and lightweight. And they look great. Have been some of my favorite road running shoes. Not sure how long they will last with the thin material in the toe box though
Review: Comfortable - Love these! They are so comfortable and the price was great. I’m not a runner but I love them for walking about. A bit slippery for indoor hiit workouts though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Race Day/Speed Run only shoes

If you’re a zero drop shoe fan, wide toe box minimalist shoe fan, or just an Altra fan, you might be disappointed with these 1st gen Altra Carbon fiber shoes. I converted to zero drop running shoe (specifically altra) back in 2021 after a scooter accident that left my left ankle all funky. I also have minimalist shoes like Xero and Vivobarefoot. I’m an avid road runner and have completed several half marathons and full marathons in my life, and a plethora of 5k, 10k, and 15k races. My first carbon fiber shoes was the Nike Vaporfly 4% released back in 2018—they were amazing but the longevity was laughable as they’re only good for up to 100 miles depending on your stride and foot-to-ground contact. These Altra carbon vanish reminds me very much of the 1st gen nike vaporfly. Comfort is good, but the fit is tight and “short” if that make sense. In addition, the longevity of the outsole rubber is ridiculously short. I’ve only ran in them for 25 miles (slow pace) and I can already see bits of balding with the outsole rubber. Not to mention, they’re only useable via outdoor running only due to how cheaply made the outsole is—so if you’d like to take your runs indoor and use the treadmill? Forget it. You will slip with these! They’re zero drop shoes so there’s no arch support which is nice and natural (they do make arch supported shoes such as the provision and paradigm, but they’re not carbon fiber). Anyway, the appearance and upper material is very versatile though and there’s plenty of ventilation. I took it out for a 10k heart rate run on a 70 degree weather and it kept my feet nice and comfortable, not sweaty/hot and no blisters. Overall it’s an okay first take for carbon fiber shoes by Altra—actually I shouldn’t even call it “carbon fiber” more like “half-bon fiber” because it’s not a full a length carbon fiber there, just half— but the whole reason I’m taking 1 star off is due to concerns with longevity and durability with these shoes. Reminds me very much of the expensive vaporfly 4% that only lasted me 2 full marathons and 3 long run training session, and I’m afraid these will be like it with the poor quality outsole built. I get it though, they wanted to cut the weight of the shoes so they also had to “cut” corners in terms of materials used. Last but not least though is how responsive it is with regards to speed. I’m able to do my normal heart rate zone 2 training with these shoes which is nice and slow, and if I want to pick up the pace, I can easily do so—unlike the more popular brands where every stride is just fast and there’s nothing in between, so kudos to Altra for that shoe-technology. Would I recommend this shoe though? For 1st gen, sure—but use with caution and only use it on short speed runs (such as 5k) or race day shoe.
