Mount to Coast T1

Mount to Coast T1 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size for most testers; wide-footed runners advised to size up. Generous volume in the forefoot and midfoot, manageable via the dual-zone lacing system.

Feel

Balanced Lightcell midsole: cushioned without being spongy, responsive without being bouncy. Rocker present but not aggressive, promotes efficiency over long distances. Forefoot allows some ground feel on technical terrain.

Durability

One tester logged 350 miles including a 100-miler with no perceived foam degradation. Aramid fiber (Kevlar) upper shows high abrasion resistance. Vibram Megagrip Litebase outsole holds up well; foam visibly compressed after 50 miles but no functional loss reported.

Best for

Versatile trail shoe designed for ultra distances (50K–100 miles) on mixed terrain: gravel, singletrack, rock. Less suited to deep mud beyond 4mm lugs or highly technical terrain demanding maximum forefoot protection.

Weak points

The dual-zone lacing system gradually loosens on steep descents and technical terrain, requiring multiple mid-run re-tightenings. The lace garage is open on the sides and allows lace ends to escape; the thin upper in the midfoot requires high tension for a secure fit, with potential pressure on the top of the foot.
