Everyone has their own style when it comes to shoes. What they all have in common is a sense of security.
〈Altra〉 "Lone Peak 9+" ￥ 23,650 (Altra)
A classic you can wear with confidence.
“For my climb up Mount Hachijo-Fuji, I chose trail running shoes from ALTRA. As expected of a classic model, they were great. They’re incredibly comfortable as an entry-level zero-drop shoe, and the Vibram Megagrip outsole gave me a real sense of security. I totally understand why they’re so popular on long trails.” (Yamamoto)
〈Mount to Coast〉 H1 ￥ 27,500 (Mount to Coast)
The buzzworthy new brand is doing great.
"I was one of the first to try out the *Mount to Coast*, which has just arrived in Japan. "They’re cushioned yet offer just the right amount of bounce, making both walking and running a breeze. Since I’m not used to carrying heavy loads, they gave me a real sense of security. They felt so good that I ended up picking up the pace on the descent from Hachijo-Fuji without even realizing it (laughs)." (Wakiyama)
〈Notus〉Yama T1 ￥25,300 (Notus)
Awaken your feet's natural strength.
“I wore a pair of Notace trail running shoes. The cushioning and traction are decent, and they offer just the bare minimum of protection. But that makes them interesting because you really feel like you’re controlling them with your feet. Honestly, they’re not for everyone, but I think they’re a lot of fun for those who get into them,” (Enomoto)
