Minimal
14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.
-
Low

24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that falls near the middle of the spectrum. The shoes in this category are versatile and great for all types of runs and distances.
-
High
29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.
-
Maximal
35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.
Stability Level
-
Neutral Running Shoes
Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have built-in technology to correct movement.
-
Stability Running Shoes
Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.

Product Highlights:
Inspired by the high-stack success of the C1, Mount to Coast has fine-tuned this road ultramarathon shoe for desert conditions seen in the Badwater 135. The C135 brings the same underfoot magic that doesn't seem to die, with a reimagined upper and added reflective detailing for all-day, all-night performance on the ultramarathon course.
Tried and true, the CircleCELL midsole continues to bring bounce and resilience over hundreds of miles. Sitting atop a rubberized EVA foam, shock absorption and reliability are the name of the game. This midsole offers energy return for hours on end, offering no surprises other than its durability. Shaped with a smooth, rolling geometry, the midsole guides your stride with neutral support for a natural, seamless flow from heel to toe.
Wrapping your foot is a newly updated upper, fine-tuned for the unrelenting heat of desert racing. This upper is light, highly breathable, and works hard to keep your feet dry as you plod along for seemingly endless miles. The upper helps to shed additional weight from the original C1, prioritizing comfort over the long haul.
Due to the nature of racing at night, the C135 features an added reflective coating on the midsole to keep you visible no matter the time. Paired with a durable outsole compound, you'll be floating over trusted grip as the miles fly by.
Known for their accommodating toe box fit and customization, Mount to Coast stays true to their TUNEDFIT Dual Lacing system, allowing you to separately adjust for forefoot and midfoot lacing as your feet swell.
Whether you're heading to Badwater or you're looking for a reliable, cushioned underfoot companion for long mileage, the Mount to Coast C135 has you covered.
