Mount to Coast R1

Mount to Coast R1 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size: works in the usual size. Dual-lace system allows independent adjustment of forefoot and heel — useful on long distances when feet swell.

Feel

Medium cushioning, neither soft nor firm: responsive feel similar to the Adidas Boston 12. Smooth, consistent ride across a wide range of paces; zero-sag insert stabilizes footstrike in the later stages of a run.

Durability

High mileage anecdotally documented (hundreds of miles with no visible degradation). Thin foam-rubber outsole: holds up on dry asphalt, less reliable in wet conditions. Full rubber outsole version announced.

Best for

Daily training and road ultras for runners seeking lightness and consistency over long mileage. Handles marathon pace as well, but not designed for short, fast races.

Weak points

Clicking noise on every step, reported as annoying or unbearable by multiple testers. Outsole slips on wet surfaces. At least one end user reports recent versions are still noisy and lack sufficient softness.
