Beginner
The Vanish Pulse's 22mm low-stack zero-drop and racing-oriented design isn't suitable for beginners. It lacks sufficient cushioning and support, requiring runners already adapted to zero-drop with solid form. Start with more cushioned models like the Escalante 5 or Torin 9 before transitioning to this racing flat.
