HOKA Mafate X

HOKA Mafate X is a premium trail running shoe designed for runners chasing ultra-distance adventures, technical trails and long days in the mountains. Combining maximum cushioning with responsive propulsion, it delivers the comfort, protection and efficiency needed when every kilometre matters.

The dual-density midsole pairs a super critically foamed EVA carrier with a highly responsive PEBA core, while HOKA's forked carbon fibre plate adds energy return and a smooth toe-off. Smooth MetaRocker™ geometry and the rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame™ work together to provide a stable and efficient ride across a wide variety of trail conditions.

A lightweight woven upper offers breathable comfort and quick drainage, while the Vibram® Megagrip outsole with zonal rubber and 3.5 mm lugs delivers confident traction on everything from rocky mountain trails to loose gravel and forest paths.
