Mount to Coast T1 Women

Technical Trail Running Shoes for Long Distances

These trail running shoes are designed for long-distance trail races and technical mountain running. They are a pair for runners who keep moving in the mountains for extended periods, emphasizing a balance of lightness, grip, support, and cushioning.

Weighing approximately 255g for a US9, with a stack height of 36mm at the heel and 32mm at the forefoot, and a 4mm drop. The design prioritizes cushioning while keeping weight low. Lightness is crucial when lifting your feet on ascents, maintaining rhythm on descents, and conserving energy during long races.

The T1 is not just a soft and comfortable shoe, but a model focused on stability and maneuverability in the mountains. It's suitable for those who want to maintain their run with minimal foot slippage inside the shoe on technical trails, long descents, and mountain races where the terrain constantly changes.

TUNEDFIT Dual Lacing System with 2-Zone Adjustment

A distinctive feature is the TUNEDFIT dual lacing system. This design allows for separate adjustments of the forefoot and midfoot, making it easy to change the fit according to your foot shape and the duration of your run.

During long distances, feet can swell over time, and slide forward on descents. By allowing separate adjustments for specific areas instead of tightening the entire shoe at once, this design provides the necessary support without over-compressing the foot.

LightCELL Midsole Focused on Lightness and Responsiveness

The midsole features a LightCELL midsole base. On long climbs, runnable forest roads, and undulating trails, the weight and responsiveness of the shoes can affect your rhythm.

The T1 is designed to help maintain a steady tempo even over long distances, thanks to its lightweight design and responsive midsole. For runners who want to avoid exhausting their legs on long distances and maintain a consistent rhythm, the lightness and cushioning of the midsole are crucial elements.

Grip and Lightness from Vibram Outsole

The outsole features a combination of Vibram Megagrip, Litebase, and Traction Lug. This specification focuses on grip, a lightweight outsole, and traction during push-off.

The lug depth is 4mm. Rather than being overly deep for muddy trails, this setting is well-balanced and easy to use on various surfaces, including runnable terrain, and courses with mixed rock and dirt. This outsole configuration is well-suited for long-distance trail races where the ground conditions change significantly.

Woven Upper Reinforced with Aramid Fiber

The upper uses a woven material reinforced with aramid fiber. This specification considers not only lightness but also durability for trails where rocks, branches, and abrasions are common.

For trail shoes, as they get lighter, concerns about upper protection and durability can arise. The T1 maintains a weight suitable for nimble running while featuring an upper configuration designed for technical mountain use.

For Runners Who Want to Balance Lightness and Stability on Long Mountain Runs

The T1 is not a lightweight shoe geared towards roads, but a trail running shoe for long runs in the mountains. It's well-suited for long races, fast mountain traverses, and courses with a mix of runnable trails and technical sections, where runners want to leverage lightness while also seeking foot stability.

The combination of cushioning, 4mm drop, light weight of 255g, Vibram outsole, and 2-zone adjustable lacing system makes this a compelling pair for runners who not only want to steadily cover long distances but also to create a rhythm in the mountains.

About the Mount to Coast Brand

Mount to Coast is a performance footwear brand rooted in long-distance running. They address challenges encountered in ultra-running and long-distance environments, developing shoes for continuous running over long distances.

Over long distances, problems that are less apparent over shorter distances emerge, such as foot swelling, changes in fit, midsole degradation, and outsole durability. Mount to Coast starts with these real challenges faced by ultra-runners, developing shoes that prioritize fit adjustment, sustained cushioning, and long-term comfort.

The T1 Men's trail running shoe inherits this philosophy. It is positioned not merely for light and fast running, but as a shoe that balances fit, grip, cushioning, and stability to enable continuous movement in the mountains for extended periods.
