Why Choose the Mount to Coast M1?
The Mount to Coast M1 is designed for runners who need their footwear to perform consistently over long distances.
When you're running for hours — or even days — cushioning, grip, stability and fit become increasingly important.
The M1 brings these elements together in a shoe engineered specifically for endurance racing.
JETCELL™ – Next-Generation Energy Return
At the heart of the M1 is Mount to Coast's innovative JETCELL™ midsole.
Developed using a supercritical foaming process, JETCELL™ is designed to provide exceptional energy return while maintaining structural strength and consistent performance.
According to Mount to Coast, the material delivers approximately twice the structural strength of conventional PEBA foam.
The result is a responsive cushioning platform designed to maintain its performance throughout demanding long-distance adventures.
Three Vibram Technologies. One Confident Ride.
The M1 combines three Vibram technologies to deliver dependable traction and performance.
Vibram® Megagrip
Premium rubber designed to provide grip on both wet and dry terrain.
Vibram® Litebase
A lightweight outsole construction that reduces rubber weight without sacrificing grip.
Vibram® Traction Lug
Innovative lug geometry designed to increase traction and improve contact with loose or uneven surfaces.
Together, these technologies create a versatile outsole for mountain trails, rocky climbs, gravel tracks and technical descents.
TUNEDFIT™ – A Fit That Adapts to the Distance
During ultra-marathons and extended trail adventures, your feet can change shape and volume.
The M1's TUNEDFIT™ Dual Lacing System allows you to adjust the forefoot and midfoot independently.
This gives you greater control over the fit, helping you balance secure foot lockdown with comfort as conditions and foot volume change.
Combined with the breathable TPEE-blended upper and reinforced toe box, the M1 offers a practical fit system for demanding endurance events.

Is the Mount to Coast M1 Right for You?
The M1 is an excellent choice if you're looking for a highly cushioned, responsive trail running shoe with dependable Vibram grip and a customisable fit.
It's particularly suited to runners who prioritise comfort and consistent performance over long distances but still want the traction and security needed for mountain trails.
Its wider base and raised sidewalls provide a supportive platform, while the JETCELL™ cushioning delivers a responsive feel.
The 4 mm drop may appeal to runners who prefer a lower heel-to-toe offset, although transitioning from higher-drop footwear should still be approached gradually.
Tribe&Trail Tip: Mount to Coast recommends considering half a size up from your usual shoe size. For ultra-distance running, allow adequate room for foot expansion while ensuring secure heel and midfoot lockdown. Our team can help you find the right fit.
