Why We Like The Altra Vanish Tempo Running Shoe

Snappy, supportive, and well cushioned, the Vanish Tempo Running Shoe is a slight departure from Altra's Vanish Carbon—with very pleasant results. With a slightly slimmer fit provides a stable rear hold while still delivering Altra's classic generously sized toe box for a natural splay. An incredibly energetic ride thanks to EGO Pro foam makes this one of our new favorites for daily training.

Narrow in toes! Awful.

These are insanely narrow in the toes. What happened to Altra shoes? They've completely abandoned their customer base.

I don't care for the rocker

I hate the rocker. And it's too soft, too much cushion.

Liked 'em so much I bought two pairs

I don't run exclusively in Altras but I always have 2-3 pairs in the rotation at any given time. I'm absolutely loving these, so much so that after my first run in them I ordered a second pair. They work very well for my foot shape, I don't find the slimmer profile an issue. They're not lone peak wide but that is OK with me. They fit true to size. I've put 70ish miles on my first pair and another 20ish on my second so I haven't done enough to speak for their durability. But I do plan on racing them in an upcoming race that's split between gravel and paved roads. I think they'll be the perfect fit for that.

Best road runners of all time

I've gone through countless pairs of road runners and I think the Vanish Tempo are the best that I've ever trained with. I'm normally a big fan of the Rivera line, however, a friend told me to try the Vanish Tempo and I've never felt anything like it. The shoe is extremely responsive even with the generous midsole height, making it the perfect trainer for all tempo/fast runs. I do track workouts every week and I only wear these shoes for those. I can't wait to run my first race in them. I just purchased a second pair to keep in my closet for when I wear out my first pair.

I buy this product repeatedly

This is my daily trainer for everything but races. I presently have 3 pairs of this shoe all with between 230-264 miles and besides rubber wear still feel great.

Nice and comfortable, but wears very quickly

I bought these as they were on sale and I liked the idea that they had a bit more "shape" to them than the torins. They are comfortable and do run well. However, I found they wore VERY quickly. I ran for only 15-20 miles on the treadmill only and noticed significant colored dust behind the treadmill belt, and also very visible signs of wear on the soles, much quicker than any other pair of running shoes I've ever worn. When I contacted altra was told that this model is more for race day and even mentioned the word "single use" which seemed alarming to me, as I hadn't read anything like that in the description. I still like the shoes, but would estimate they soles will be completely toast by 75-100 miles, and its a lot of money ot pay for shoes that wear that quickly, especially since I'm not all that fast of a runner and not too worried about my raceday speeds being marginally different.

Good but expect a break in time

I almost gave up on this shoe after the first several runs. They were creating hotspots on the ball of my foot due to the way the sole was shaped at first. I tried different things to eliminate this problem but to no avail. It took close to 40 miles before I realized that the sole was breaking in and no longer causing the hotspots. Would I recommend this? Yes, but definitely with the instructions to be patient during the break in process. Now that they are broken in, I really appreciate the wide toe box, light weight, and very good ventilation.

Altra slipping...

The first pair I got last year was fantastic, fit great and was perfect for my wide toes. Trained and ran a half marathon in them! This pair felt narrow, small and cheap. I switched to brooks.
