H1

It’s like meeting the love of your life for the first time. Everything just works, it’s easy, not forced, and that feeling of “coming home”. I know, cheesy analogy but true. No one’s perfect and neither is this shoe, but it’s darn near perfect. I’ve taken this everywhere and anywhere and it still seems to give back only positively. Yes, wet, sloppy snow conditions of CO will prob be too much, but this does everything so well, it’s hard to just wash it out as a meer hybrid shoe for gentle rolling CA Carpet. 15 miles in fairly tech terrain, and managed well in it, says volumes. Crazy light, and the price is sooooo good for what you get. No brainer, just buy it.

The Mount to Coast H1 is a smooth, durable road-to-trail shoe that performs just as well on pavement as it does on dirt. The CircleCELL™ midsole delivers a responsive, comfortable ride, while the Kevlar-reinforced upper and dual-lacing system offer excellent durability and fit. If you want one shoe that can handle nearly any terrain with confidence, the H1 is an easy top pick.

The design and material quality truly is impressive, I'm a fan and becoming a loyalist for sure! ...Only 2 runs (12 miles) in with these so far, and they've already pleased me with the clear performance they pack! Can clearly handle a wide range of run types.

I'm shocked that the bio-based midsole performs as it does. The foam has a satisfying roll and propelling bounce to it, it can definitely handle picking up the pace as needed. Feels very stable and protective as well, and has a nice sensation on descents too, road or trail (it receives you nicely going down hill). Not too soft, but definitely not overly firm like some competitors. The upper is comfortable and fits like a glove, very nicely, but still with plenty of room in the toe box area so there's no bunching.

I have now had this shoe in my rotation for exactly a month and have put 100 miles on them with runs ranging from 3 miles up to 12 miles, on all different surfaces; crushed/compacted gravel, asphalt, concrete, and dirt.

The shoes are GREAT. My biggest concern was durability when I bought these. All of my other running shoes from the big names were getting absolutely chewed through on the surfaces that I run on. The H1 barely looks like I have worn them.

My second concern was pop. I like to run in a shoe with some return and that makes runs enjoyable. I didn't expect it when I bought these, but boy was I surprised that I could keep up with my typical paces in this shoe.

The shoe has great cushion and keeps my legs feeling fresh. But not so much cushion that it feels like your running on a marshmallow. Very big fan of this aspect.

My only knock on the shoe is the appearance, but when we are needing performance, who cares about what they look like.

This shoe does it all and handles everything you throw at it while looking good and feeling amazing. Definitely highly recommend.
