Summary
The Hoka Mafate 5 is a trail running shoe designed for those seeking comfort and durability on rugged terrain. Known for its maximalist cushioning, the Mafate 5 provides a plush ride while maintaining stability and support. It fits into Hoka's lineup as a specialist trail shoe, offering more protection and grip compared to models like the Speedgoat, which is also trail-focused but slightly lighter and nimbler. The Mafate 5 is ideal for long-distance trail runs or hikes, where its robust build and superior traction are essential. In comparison to Hoka’s road-oriented models such as the Clifton or Bondi, the Mafate 5 is engineered to handle the unpredictable surfaces of off-road environments while ensuring a comfortable run.

The Hoka Mafate 5 introduces a radical reengineered midsole featuring the new Rocker Integrity Technology—a flexible TPU plate sandwiched between firmer and softer EVA layers to preserve rocker geometry and deliver a plush, adaptive ride on rugged terrain. Additionally, it sports a more protective 360‑degree flow‑molded TPU upper with optional gaiter integration and an upgraded Vibram Megagrip outsole with deeper traction lugs, enhancing durability, grip, and trail versatility.
