HOKA Mafate 5

HOKA Mafate 5 is a premium women's trail running shoe built for runners who demand maximum cushioning, protection and grip on the most challenging terrain. Designed for technical trails, mountain running and ultra-distance adventures, it delivers a smooth, stable and confidence-inspiring ride over any distance.

The latest Mafate introduces Rocker Integrity Technology, combining a reinforced MetaRocker™ with a new dual-density midsole featuring a supercritical foam top layer. The result is a softer, more responsive ride while maintaining the stability needed for uneven trails. A durable warp knit upper with anti-fray treatment provides breathable comfort, while gaiter attachment points offer added protection when conditions become more demanding.

The Vibram® Megagrip outsole with Traction Lug technology and aggressive 5 mm lugs delivers exceptional grip on rocks, roots, mud and loose surfaces, giving you the confidence to keep moving no matter where the trail leads.
