T1

I purchased these shoes so I could have a sharp looking shoe I could wear on the trail. After researching all the top brands that make trail shoes, I was determined to find the perfect balance of durability and style. The Mount to Coast T1 checked every box.
From the moment I laced them up I felt ready for the adventure ahead.. weather it’s a rugged trail, weekend hikes, or spontaneous outdoor escapes. These shoes aren’t just built to last; they’re designed to keep you moving confidently and looking great while doing it.
I’m confident that the Mount to Coast T1 will satisfy my durability and stylish needs, and I can’t wait to see where they take me next. Here’s to many miles of exciting journeys!

Up here in the Mountains of Colorado I’ve been looking for a shoe that could work good for connecting roads to the local trails. I’ve always used a trail shoe and although it wasn’t bad it just wasn’t great. This shoe is the best of both and actually works really good on technical trail also. Perfect balance of weight, grip and comfort.

I’ve been wearing the T1 almost daily for the past three weeks, using it both for running and everyday commuting across different parts of the UK. Overall, it’s been a very impressive and versatile shoe.

Overall Impression
• The first thing you notice is how incredibly light it feels on foot, making it easy to settle into a smooth, efficient rhythm
• Despite being positioned as a Pro-level trail shoe, it performs extremely well on pavement, with a stable and responsive ride that doesn’t feel out of place compared to many road trainers
• Traction is excellent and consistently reliable, which adds a lot of confidence across varied urban surfaces

Comfort & Support
• The tongue is a standout feature: very soft, comfortable against the foot, and easy to adjust for a secure fit without pressure points
• The fit runs slightly wider, especially in the forefoot, allowing natural toe splay and making it comfortable for longer runs or all-day wear
• Support is well balanced and remains consistent even later into runs, without feeling overly rigid

Ride & Design
• Although the listed drop is 4 mm, the shoe has a surprisingly strong rolling sensation, with smooth transitions and a noticeable forward-moving feel
• The design is clean and modern; even as a Pro-level trail model, it looks great casually and works well as an everyday or commuting shoe

Things to Monitor
• Around the 100-mile mark, some wear begins to appear on the upper. It hasn’t affected performance so far, but it’s something worth keeping an eye on over longer mileage
• The heel area feels slightly firm initially, though it becomes less noticeable with continued use
• The dual-layer lacing system takes a bit of getting used to; while functional, its advantage over a traditional setup isn’t immediately obvious

Just got these this week. 14 miles with 3000 feet of elevation gain in my new T1s. They are perfect! The ankle collar is much more comfortable than the speedgoats--set slightly lower so it doesn't rub that ankle knobby thingy. I find that these run more true to size whereas the speed goats i needed were always one full size bigger than my dress shoes. I wore a 12 in the speed goats, and the 11.5 is perfect in the T1s.

Not only do these shoes look fantastic, they are shockingly comfortable and supportive. I struggle as I get older with my feet widening or ‘dropping’. These shoes allow me to be comfortable throughout the show with the lacing system. I will buy more M2C shoes.
