Ryan's Running Reviews23K subscribersneutral

“The Vanish Carbon 3 is Altra's most elite super race day shoe for the half or full marathon and now features a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop, a full PEBA foam midsole, a new foot-shape racing upper, and a full-length slotted carbon fiber plate, which actually has a section for your big toe to engage in a more powerful way.”

“The Ultra Vanished Carbon 3 is a modern race day shoe for people who want a low drop experience and also want a footshaped toe box. This shoe is available now for a price of $240. And I think that is a fair price for what you're getting in this shoe.”

“Today, we're going to reconsider everything we know about Ultra and racing. This is the Ultra Vanish Carbon 3, and it represents some really big changes, not just top to bottom for Ultra, but also side to side.”

“I didn't come away wowed by the speed and performance of the Vanish Carbon 3 after those first two runs. Like, it felt solid, decent carbon shoe, almost had a slightly trainer-racery vibe, actually, to me, in terms of its performance.”

“That's actually a similarity to the Vanish Carbon 3, as well. That's intentional to still allow good midfoot and heel lockdown”

“I have one other shoe that we y'all have reviewed and talked about but it's the Altra Vanish Carbon 3... I actually really love the foam.”

“It is very good, but to me, it feels more like a tempo trainer. This feels to me more like exactly what I did this morning. When I'm going medium long run, some pace pick up, when I want something decently comfortable that can also handle some speed, this shoe I would go for.”

“With its high-stack PEBA midsole extending out around the foot, the Vanish Carbon 3 creates a broad landing platform that feels noticeably stable underfoot — while the rocker geometry and split-toe carbon plate are designed to keep things moving forward.”

“This is the Altra Vanish Carbon 3. It's got a brand new fast race super critical PEBA midsole foam. It has a split carbon fiber plate and important for Altra fans, it has a brand new 4 mm heel to toe drop. It has a more streamlined race day fit in the natural toe box.”

“Really good bouncy foam, but you know, it feels really trainer racer to me actually. And I don't know if it's got the shots of an allout shoe, but it is also quite a singular shoe and it has the foot shaped toe box.”

“it might be somewhat of a brainer once I get a chance to try the Vanish Carbon 3 from Altra, that'll be the battle of the wide footers”

“It was very, very good. Um, it is not as fast as the Fast Rar 3, maybe even the Ciello X1 3.0, you know, but I would say it's definitely as fast as all the other shoes, the Adios Pro 4.”
