Mount to Coast T1 Shoe
Mount to Coast made a big splash on the road running scene with their record-shattering, podium-bagging R1, and they are bringing that same groundbreaking performance to trail running with their T1 shoe. Designed for the most demanding of athletes, the T1 overlooks no feature. Starting at the bottom, the outsole is composed of Vibram's Megagrip + Litebase, widely regarded as the gold standard for optimized traction, durability, and weight. However, the gold standard isn't good enough for Mount to Coast, so they employed Traction Lug microfeatures to push the outsole's grip as far as possible. The LightCELL midsole made from supercritical PEBA is 50% lighter than traditional EVA midsoles while offering 45% better energy return, giving you the propulsion and cushion to conquer any distance. Kevlar fibers are woven into the upper to improve durability, preventing upper blow-out and helping the shoe last for hundreds of miles. Even the laces weren't able to escape Mount to Coast's innovation. Each shoe has two speed-style laces, allowing you to dial in the tension separately for the midfoot and forefoot. Ultrarunners looking for a shoe built to run as hard, fast, and far as you do, the Mount to Coast T1 was built to check all your boxes.
SkyRun Fit Tip - We suggest sizing up 1/2 US size in the T1 for a proper fit.
- Dual lacing system for an adjustable and precise fit.
- Water-repellent anti-siphon knit tongue dries quickly.
- 100-mile squish with marathon energy return.
- The upper's aramid fiber weave breathes like an unfit runner during speedwork.
- Megagrip + Litebase with Traction Lug because staying upright is nice.

Questions & Reviews
My only complaint, and it's a large one, is that the upper is so solid and waterproof that the shoes get absolutely bogged down with sweat. I run early mornings in the South and without fail, after 3 miles at 75 degrees, my socks are soaked, the water isn't going anywhere, and I will be both clomping and slipping through the last 2 miles of my run. This also means that I've washed this shoe 4 times, more than any other pair in history, and my shoes are always under a fan for 6 hours after the run so I can use them tomorrow.
This is a pain, but still not annoying enough to stop running in these daily, fwiw.
