To say that Hoka has changed the running game would be an understatement. A few short years ago, there were no shoes on the market with the kind of thick-soled design that has become Hoka’s calling card. Now they are everywhere. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Hoka should be feeling pretty good about itself these days.
The Hoka Mafate X Trail Running Sneaker doesn’t depart from the formula that has proven to be a winner. It has a robust stack height of 49mm at the heel, with 41mm at the forefoot for an 8mm drop. The shoe also uses an aggressive Vibram Megagrip outsole to make sure you are able to maintain traction on even the slipperiest of runs.
Trail running can take a toll on your lower body, but putting these Hokas on your side will level the playing field a bit. Pick up a pair today and know that you will be ready for anything the trail decides to throw your way.
