Carbon Plate Running Shoes

Altra's race-day shoes put a carbon fibre plate under a light, responsive foam for a snappier push-off. The Vanish Carbon 3 is built for road racing, with a split-toe carbon plate that lets your big toe push off naturally, and the Mont Blanc Carbon brings a carbon plate to trail racing.

Unlike most carbon racers, they keep a FootShape toe box, so your toes have room late in the race. See also marathon shoes.

Carbon plates aren't just for elite marathoners: they're a tool for anyone chasing a PB. Altra's carbon range pairs a responsive plate with our signature Zero-to-Low Drop platform and FootShape™ toe box, so you get the snap and roll of a race shoe without the squeezed, heel-jacked feel of most super shoes.

Two surfaces: the Vanish Carbon 3 and previous-generation Vanish Carbon 2 on the road, the Mont Blanc Carbon on the mountain. All stocked in the Altra Australia warehouse, ready for race day.
