Confluence Running
Our take
Our first look: compare T1 for technical trail outings. Its 4 mm lugs distinguish it from the mixed-surface H1. Check foot hold on descents before choosing it for long races.
Fit before category
Fit & feel
Adjust the forefoot and midfoot cinch cords separately. Test downhill toe clearance and heel hold with your trail socks. Secure fit matters on side slopes as well as flat ground.
We fit shoes against your foot shape, width, comfort, movement and intended use—not just a label like “neutral” or “stability.”
How the shoe works
Technology & ride
A LightCELL midsole sits above a Vibram outsole using Megagrip, Litebase and Traction Lug. Aramid reinforcement supports the woven upper.

The Mount to Coast T1 is a long-distance trail running shoe engineered for rugged mountain terrain, technical climbs, and demanding descents. Built for endurance and durability, the T1 combines lightweight cushioning, customizable fit, and aggressive traction to help runners stay comfortable and confident on every trail adventure.
A woven Kevlar-reinforced upper delivers breathable durability with a secure, adaptive feel that stands up to rocky terrain without adding stiffness or excess weight. The TUNEDFIT Dual Lacing System allows independent adjustment through the forefoot and midfoot, creating a more personalized fit that helps maintain comfort and reduce pressure as miles accumulate.
Underfoot, the LightCELL midsole uses nitrogen-infused PEBA foam to provide lightweight cushioning, energetic rebound, and long-lasting responsiveness for ultras, mountain runs, and extended trail efforts. A roomy toe box encourages natural toe splay to improve comfort and reduce fatigue over long distances.
For maximum confidence on technical terrain, the Vibram Megagrip outsole features durable 4 mm lugs that deliver exceptional traction on wet rocks, loose dirt, dry trails, and unpredictable surfaces.
Built for trail runners seeking a durable, high-performance mountain running shoe, the Mount to Coast T1 offers the grip, cushioning, and all-day comfort needed to conquer challenging terrain mile after mile.
