Mount to Coast - H1

I’ve been running in these for a few weeks, mine have around 100 miles on them now and I really like them. My miles have been about 70/30 split between normal trail and rail trail, and the shoes perform well on both. I just picked up a pair of T1s to try as well. Overall stoked with Mount to Coast, but I agree that I would appreciate some different colorways. My husband called the pair of T1s I got “hearing aid brown” 😂

Look at the Mount to Coast H1. It’s a hybrid shoe. I’ve worn it on the treadmill, rail trail, and normal east coast mountain trails (rooty & rocky) with no issues at all. I just switched in the last month or so after years consistently running in the Timp & Olympus because I was starting to have some plantar fasciitis issues. Fell in love with MtC and now run in the H1 & just scooped a pair of T1s. I think it’s a 6mm drop, but worth eyeballing.

It's a solid shoe. I have 150 miles on my pair and have enjoyed them through all paces and terrains. It definitely lacks grip like a trail shoe would offer but that was expected. They do great on dirt or back roads which is where a majority of my miles come. I'm showing minimal to no outsole wear so far. I did away with the dual lacing system and just tossed a normal pair of laces in. I also think they run warm and carry a bit of stench.

I've never noticed it...maybe I have high arches lol

I have 200km on them- this shoe is incredible. I'll be doing my review soon

I have used my H1s all winter so far in toronto

These are my favourite shoes at the moment. I have almost 400km and plan on doing a 500km review. The upper is great, fit is perfect for me, and the foam is my favourite in any shoe I have ever run in. I can best describe it as comfortable and firm, with a distinct bounce to it. Its gentle on the feet but you don't sink in, so even ripping 400m pace is fun and enjoyable. It gets completely out of the way and lets you lock into a very enjoyable pace with ease. The two qualms I had originally were the arch and the toe bumper, but both broke in after about an hour of running.

I used my H1s basically exclusively on roads. Great for 3 seasons on the east coast

The upper is amazing. Probably the best if not the best of any shoe i have ever worn

my face when I bought a pair of mount to coast H1's just off the strength of Kilian Korth's substack. 2 weeks later, it's publicly announced that he's sponsored by them. Don't get me wrong, LOVE the shoe, and they will be my 50-miler shoes. But man, I feel like a buffoon.

Ran my 50 miler in these, amazing shoes!

That is such a good shoe. I love it for easy runs but you can go faster if you want. The foam reminds me a little bit of Lightstrike Pro.

I also have the Evo SL ATR. The Evo feels like the wilder faster brother. The H1 is the more stable, more friendly and more comfortable one.

Mount to Coast H1s are a nice “gravel” option. Haven’t tried the R1s, but very much looking forward to the release of the C1s in April. I enjoyed the fit of Altras but (a) wanted more than 4mm of drop, and (b) found them to wear out in about 275 miles, which makes them a fairly expensive shoe despite the cost per pair being on the lower end.

Couldn’t agree more! It’s my favorite shoe in a long time. I’ve just passed 1,000 km and of course there’s some wear and tear but nowhere near as much as with the big shoe companies at half the mileage. Would recommend it to everyone.

Mostly gravelroads and the last month snow, an excellent shoe for this season

I’ll play devil’s advocate here a little - I do like these but I find them a tiny bit bulky on the road, especially when I’m fatigued, and they lack a bit of grip on steep gravel. That said, the foam is exceptional, and I’m aware that I’m quibbling, because I’d buy another pair for general one-and-done without thinking (ahead of, say, the Norda 001 or 005, which aren’t too far off the H1s use case, not even taking cost into account).

In the world of cushioned shoes, to which I am generally averse, the Mount to Coast H1 has treated me very well. My teenage son with wide feet likes them too so maybe with a try!

Mount to Coast H1 or Adidas Evo SL ATR. At the moment I think I prefer the MTC, but the Adidas are black and somewhat water resistant so better in the rain!

Absolutely love mine. Done around 200 miles so far.
