    Expert Review

    A road-to-trail option that is light, responsive, and feels fun underfoot, on both road and trails. The two-zone lacing system is different, but I do like how the upper holds the foot. The lugs and rubber compound are smooth on the roads whilst providing ample traction on trails. It is not made for rocky or technical trails, as I find the rocks penetrate the foam and impact on the underside of the foot - for context, I am roughly 90kg and a midfoot striker. For me, 2-4mm extra foam under the forefoot would have made this shoe perfect.

    H1 by Mount to Coast — recommended by James Sieber

    This product is for…

    Runners who mix road, gravel, and non-technical trail in the same outing, including ultra-distance athletes doing 100-milers and multi-day events. Narrow to medium feet tend to fit well; wider feet may need a half to full size up.

    Worth noting…

    Size up half to a full size to account for foot swelling on long efforts; the toe box runs roomy. Not suited for rocky or highly technical trails — multiple hosts flag it explicitly as a gravel/buffed-singletrack shoe.
