Road Running Shoes

Altra Vanish Carbon

by
It was only a matter of time until Altra made the jump into the ever-competitive “super shoe” category. With the Vanish Carbon, their first road model to feature a performance plate, the brand attempts to marry new technology with their signature “FootShape Fit” and “ZeroDrop” geometry to produce a stable, race-ready shoe for the marathon. Check out our full review to see whether or not we think Altra succeeded.

The Hoka Carbon X is part of a new class of shoes designed with one goal in mind: running as fast as possible. But this carbon-reinforced road shoe doesn't look like the race shoes of the past, so we were curious to see how it handled a variety of distances and speeds, and how it compared to more "normal" shoes like the Hoka Clifton 6. Check out our review to see what we found.

The Hoka Rincon packs a lot of cushion into an exceptionally lightweight package, making it an appealing option for long days on the road. But is this some specialty shoe, or does it work well even if you're not focused on low weight & max cushion? Check out our full review.
