DESCRIPTION
Altra's first true racing flat is here! The Vanish-R is extremely lightweight and flexible for a great fit and feel during your training and racing on the road or track. The lightweight, breathable mesh upper will keep you dry and comfortable while the Propel Plate push-off feature in the midsole will help you spring forward with more power than you ever thought possible. If you've been looking for a Balanced Cushioning, FootShape racing flat, look no further. The Altra Vanish-R is sure to impress.
**We are a Fit4Her company but this shoe is built on a very particular race last which does not lend itself to a female specific design. It is made to fit snuggly on a variety of foot types for optimum performance. Women, when ordering unisex sized shoes please order 1.5 sizes smaller than your normal women’s size.

Follow these three steps to submit your return:
-
Visit our New Return Portal
To make shipping a return even easier, we have launched a New Return Portal that allows you to submit your return request. After we review your request and have authorization from the return warehouse, you will receive a prepaid return shipping label via email.
Please note: Oversized items (such as coolers, skis, furniture, large stoves and tents, etc) will be charged an oversized item return fee. Please don’t hesitate to ask support@gear.com if you have any questions about typical return shipping for an oversized item you may order. -
Pack your return
Pack your item(s) securely and include the original product packaging and tags. -
Prepare & ship your package
Tape your package securely and affix your return shipping label to the outside. (Hint: If you cover or remove all existing shipping labels, you can usually reuse the bag or box your order came in.) Drop off your package at a carrier location near you. We’ll email you once we’ve issued a store credit or a refund – typically within 10 business days after we receive your package. It may take up to 3 additional weeks for your bank to refund your credit card. PLEASE NOTE: PREPAID LABELS EXPIRE 15 DAYS FROM DATE WE SEND THEM TO YOU.
