PositiveAfter 50 miles they enjoy the Vanish Carbon for its smooth cushion, grip, light weight and zero drop. They list ugly looks, doubtful outsole life, loose laces and a high price as downsides.
Of the 12 reviews with a clear verdict, 67% are positive, 17% mixed and 17% negative. The praise mentioned most is fast. The most common complaint is wears out fast.
The complaints reviewers mention most: wears out fast (4 reviews). For example: A great racing and fast-training option for Altra loyalists, light at 223 g and grippy even on wet roads. But the EVA foam showed considerable wear after just 55 km. Given the high price, durability concerns and a midsole that's less fast and propulsive than the best, non-devotees will find better carbon shoes.
