We've tested these running shoes to expand our database and allow users to compare results to help with their buying decisions. We don't expect to write a full review, but if you have any questions about this product, please let us know.
We buy and test running shoes with a very data-oriented approach. While we're just getting started, our methodology already has dozens of tests to help you make the right purchasing decision for your needs. Not only do we use high-end equipment to gather objective data, but we also order multiple sizes of the same shoes so team members can log in miles. This real-world testing is conducted at various paces and conditions, across different types of workouts, to cover all the bases. This allows us to verify our results and ensure they align with what you might feel with a specific pair.

The Mount to Coast R1 and Mount to Coast C1 are two ultra running shoes from the Hong Kong-based brand that are built for different uses. The C1 is built for long-distance training and is heavier and built on a taller platform. The R1 is built for racing and is lighter and lower stacked. Both feature the same dual lacing system that allows you to easily loosen the upper around the forefoot to accommodate foot swelling during long runs.
