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.

Experience the Consistency

To create the smoothest possible ride, Mount to Coast looked to the automotive industry to create ZeroSag, our groundbreaking midsole insert co-developed with BASF. Durable, comfortable and offering impeccable energy return at any temperature, ZeroSag guarantees extraordinary cushioning on the longest runs.

The Road to Enlightenment

LightCELL, our proprietary midsole base material, starts as a unique PEBA-hybrid compound before being charged with pure nitrogen to create a supercritical foam. The result is a material that is 50 percent lighter than EVA, while offering 45 percent more energy return.

Stay in the Flow State

GOFLOW is our industry-leading midsole geometry, designed to keep your feet tracking from heel to toe. With GOFLOW, you can stay in that flow state for longer, and enjoy your natural stride.

Tune In, Stride Out

In the relentless pursuit of distance, ultrarunners often encounter swollen feet. With the R1, your toes can relax and enjoy the ride thanks to our wide toe box and broad platform, and the TUNEDFIT Dual Lacing System offers customizable fit for the forefoot and midfoot separately.

Lighten the Load

The R1/R1R provides runners with the low weight required for performance, with all the protection they need to run day after day in the longest ultra challenges.

Breathe Easy

The double-layered jacquard fabric combines outstanding softness and perfect fit for your feet. And you can breathe easy in the knowledge we use 40 percent recycled polyester.

R1 (3rd pair!)

really loving these, I purchased my first pair, and instantly fell in love with them. I never thought I would find a better shoe than my trusty hokas. These have replaced hokas for me, and currently PR all my training runs on a weekly basis. I also bought a pair for my wife, and my father, who are marathoners as well, and have soley used hokas for the past few years, they too love them as much as I do. They are just really comfortable, and they like to go fast! Need more colors! :)

Great fit and easy run

I recently purchased the Mount to Coat R1, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. These shoes offer an incredibly comfortable fit, which is noticeable the moment you put them on. After struggling with foot pain for over a month, I was hesitant about getting back into running, but the R1 made the transition effortless.

The cushioning is exceptional—soft yet supportive—and provided the comfort I needed to run without any discomfort. The stability is another standout feature; it offered excellent balance and alignment, which made a significant difference in my performance and confidence on the road.

Overall, the Mount to Coat R1 ranks among the best running shoes I’ve ever worn. If you’re looking for comfort, support, and stability in your runs, these are a game-changer. Highly recommend!

SENSATIONAL

These are easily the best running sneakers I have ever owned - form, function, comfort are all A+. They are somehow equal parts supportive and cushioned, so my feet and legs feel incredibly stable while also like running on a cloud. Thanks, Mount to Coast!

100+ Mile Review

After putting over 100 miles on the Mount to Coasts, including completing a 50-mile ultra with zero blisters or foot issues, I’d confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a durable and versatile daily trainer capable of handling race conditions. Even at this mileage, the sole looks virtually new, and they still have the same bounce as day one.

While they’re not particularly flashy or specialized in any one area, they’re the kind of shoe you can forget about during long, steady miles—a huge plus for high-mileage weeks or ultra training. The added stability also shines in those later miles, especially when fatigue sets in and form starts to waver, helping keep your ankles and knees aligned.

For most recreational runners, this model, paired with a faster “speed” shoe, would make an excellent two-shoe rotation.
