Mount to Coast

Purpose-built for ultra distance

A young brand built entirely around what breaks down after six hours on feet: swelling, hot spots and foam that goes flat. Everything in the line is designed for ultramarathon rather than adapted from a road trainer.

Current line

The technology

Dual-lace system
Separate forefoot and midfoot lacing so you can loosen the forefoot as your feet swell without losing heel lock.
PEBA + supercritical blends
Foams chosen for long-duration resilience rather than peak bounce, so the ride holds up deep into an ultra.
Wide, stable base
Broad platforms that stay predictable when form falls apart late in a race.

Fit & sizing

Roomy forefoot by design, true to size. Built to accommodate the foot you have at hour eight, not hour one.

Who it suits

Ultra runners, long-course triathletes, and anyone whose feet swell badly.

Worth knowing

A small line with limited availability, and the ultra focus makes the shoes less exciting at 5K pace.
