Loyd, very much enjoying the R1 as well as the trainer, the S1. There’s a definite need for an ultra road shoe and the dual lacing system is working well for me after about 75 miles. When I raced a 200-mile rail-to-trail race on crushed limestone and some tarmac, used the original Hoka Tecton X for the first 135 miles. At that point, my feet had swelled a full size and I could no longer fit in them. In scenarios like that, the M2C lacing in the forefoot could be a game changer.
Good to see more choice regarding brands on the market, just got to look at the share price and recent news about Nike to see the impact these brands are making on the big boys who have become a bit complacent
with the quality of this shoe.., I wonder if the reduce the offset to something down to 4-6 mm.., throw on a 3.5/4mm lug, and take over the ultra world trail and road ? I really want to try this shoe.., I have yet to see a bad review
This is one of the most exciting new entry to the market with a well thought of design at a decent price. Great value! I am not an ultra runner but I am considering them for my next road marathon training cycle. I hope you can review their S1 and upcoming R1R (with rubber outsole for trails)
Thanks Loyd for a great review. Yes I think it’s important we have new brands entering the market, brings innovation and challenges other brands who can get a bit lazy in design. You and I are same shoe size and foot shape by the looks of it so I’m keen to get my hands on a pair to try out. I have a very long 9 days of mainly road running for a self-designed charity event so am on the look out for sometime to run in for that.
Hello Lloyd, in the fall, I will be running a fasted 5x5: five road marathons in five days while fasting. Would you recommend the R1 for all five marathons (131 mi)? Or would you recommend rotating every other day with another shoe (Superblast) to allow the R1 midsole to relax before next use? Thank you, Lloyd.

These look like 90s tennis shoes, glad they don’t run like a pair. The guy who ran LEJOG in them certainly builds some credibility, I as well as Loyd.

According to Mount to Coast, in an email to me, they have a trail version in the works….
Justin is the nicest guy, I met him whilst doing the East Devon Round, which he won, an amazing runner and a very interesting back story.
He sure does have a interesting back story! Thanks for watching 👍😁

Zig and Zag 😂 Ireland greatest export
How did the stability in the heel feel and the stability overall in the R1?
It felt pretty stable and planted to me 👍
They definitely will not stay clean for very long. 😁
This time of year they stand a chance Rob! No chance in the winter though 😬
What are your socks? Love them !
I believe there from stance
They are Stance socks 👍
I don't knew this brand. Thanks, Loyd. Like to Run4adventure. Happy monday.
They are very new to the running scene Manuel. Happy Monday to you too and thanks for watching 👍😁

@@Run4Adventure thanks for the reply 🙌
@@rocket2192i No problem, thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏🙂
@@Run4Adventure of course 😊 one of my favorite channel on YT
Interesting shoe Lloyd. Reviewing all these shoes maybe your one liner could be let’s get back to the shoedio instead of the studio 😆
That’s already been done by someone on another running channel 👍🙂
England won!

They lost me at 8mm offset. Still watched the entire video though. I’m an Altra and Topo guy so 8mm is just too high for me. 0-5 is my range.
