Mafate 5
A pinnacle product for technical trail, the Mafate 5 goes the extra mile with more cushioning and protection than ever before. Built tough for mileage chasers, this tenacious trail runner helps maintain control during long haul efforts with our Rocker Integrity Technology and protects from trail debris with an optional ankle gaiter. Finished with a soft, springy foam just underfoot and impact-absorbing foam near the sole, the Mafate 5 is grounded in aggressive Vibram® Megagrip traction lugs. In a word: gnarly.

A soft, heavily cushioned and rockered ride tuned for absorbing impact over long distances rather than quick turnover; the 332g weight is noticeable on faster efforts.
Standard width only, secure midfoot with a roomy toe box typical of HOKA trail shoes; a tall stack that runs true to size.
Long and ultra-distance days on technical terrain where maximum underfoot protection and grip matter more than speed.
You want a light, responsive shoe or run mostly short, fast efforts.
