Hoka - Mafate 5 - Women's - Skyward Blue/Black

Hoka Mafate 5 Women’s Trail Running Shoe

Engineered for technical terrain and ultra-long trail days, the Hoka Mafate 5 delivers an unmatched blend of cushioning and control. The dual-density midsole layers a responsive supercritical EVA underfoot atop a softer CMEVA base, offering plush landings and trail-taming stability. Nestled within the midsole, Rocker Integrity Technology’s TPU plate maintains rocker shape for smooth transitions and efficient toe-offs, even over countless kilometres. Outfitted with a Vibram Megagrip outsole featuring 5 mm traction lugs, the shoe offers reliable grip on wet rocks, loose dirt, and steep terrain. The warp-knit mesh upper is reinforced with anti-fray treatment and includes a dynamic vamp and gaiter-attachment strip for adaptability, protection, and long-lasting fit. Whether tackling gnarly singletrack or logging high-mileage adventures, the Mafate 5 stands ready to carry you further.
