Mount to Coast R1R

Mount to Coast R1R review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, with adequate room in the forefoot. The dual-lacing system allows independent adjustment of the forefoot and instep, useful for swelling over long distances.

Feel

Medium-firm cushioning, consistent and responsive throughout the run. Not a soft, plush foam: delivers a stable, even feel at easy to moderate paces.

Durability

Sources report regular use past 40 miles with no signs of foam breakdown. The foam-rubber outsole on the base version raises some long-term durability questions; the R1R variant with a full rubber outsole (heavier) appears more durable in that regard.

Best for

Road ultras and long runs where cushioning consistency matters more than propulsion. Also works as a versatile daily trainer at easy to moderate-to-steady paces.

Weak points

The foam outsole on the base version produces an audible click at each footstrike and loses grip on wet surfaces. Some runners find the $160 price hard to justify against established daily trainers at lower cost.
