Reviewer would reach for the R1 over the S1 every time — the wider, slightly bouncier, glidier feel makes it the more enjoyable long-distance option, comfortable enough for marathon racing though not necessarily a 100-mile shoe. — Run Moore
A unique, well-built road-ultra shoe with characterful tunable lacing and a firm-but-consistent ride; not the most exciting underfoot, but exactly what you want for long, consistent road miles.
Best for: Long-distance road running and road ultramarathons where consistency, comfort, and durability matter more than aggressive propulsion
Reviewer would reach for the R1 over the S1 every time — the wider, slightly bouncier, glidier feel makes it the more enjoyable long-distance option, comfortable enough for marathon racing though not necessarily a 100-mile shoe.
Best for: Long-distance road trainer or marathon racer for runners who want a wide, comfortable, quiet, slightly bouncy ride; great for those preparing for ultra-marathon distances
Reviewers note: Wider, more forgiving forefoot than the S1 — accommodating for runners with bunions or wider feet. The forefoot bungee lacing gives uncommon adjustability; reviewer found it intuitive after a brief adjustment period. Ran 15-20 miles straight out of the box with no blister or fit problems.
