I just received by MTC R1s and completed a 12 mile and 8 mile run in these shoes. These shoes feel fantastic! The toebox allows my feet to splay out more and the cushioning is perfect. I’m looking forward to running many more miles in them. Can’t wait to see what this company does next!

I took these out for 18 miles on their first run. I ran 8 recovery miles the next day and my feet felt great! Great arch support and comfort. I’ve been running in these for 2 weeks now and they are getting more comfortable and responsive.

This is a ridiculously good shoe.

First off, the fit - it fits my wide mid and forefoot well, but could fit a variety of sizes due to the dual method of dialing in the fit. A+++ on the fit. Rare for me. Length is true to size.

Second, it is versatile. I have used for long runs, aerobic threshold, and track work. It works for all types of runs.

R1p up the Record Books

In the spring of 2024, British ultrarunner Justin Montague took one pair of R1s to the northernmost point of Scotland to run the JOGLE, a multistage ultra to the most southerly tip of England. Over 17 daily stages he ran 854 miles (1,374 km) setting a time that was almost 40 hours faster than the previous record, and he broke each day’s individual stage record along the way.

There Are Still Some Rough Edges

Due to its special outsole material with exceptional lightness and durability, the R1 may produce noticeable noise on rainy days or on wooden floors. In such cases, we recommend choosing the R1R, which is estimated to be released this fall with a rubber outsole.
