Frequently Asked Questions

What is FAST PCE foam?
FAST PCE is Altra's lightweight, responsive racing foam, tuned for a quick, poppy feel close to the ground.

Is the Vanish Pulse good for 5K and 10K races?
Yes. It's built for tempo runs, track work and races up to about the half marathon for runners already comfortable in low, zero drop shoes.

Vanish Pulse vs Escalante Racer 2?
Both are low, zero drop speed shoes. The Pulse uses FAST PCE foam for more pop; the Escalante Racer 2 uses EGO™ foam with a flexible InnerFlex™ midsole.
