Trail running shoes built for technical terrain, the Hoka Mafate 5 delivers maximal cushioning and aggressive grip for long-distance comfort.

A woven knit mesh upper offers breathable support, and the SwallowTail™ heel geometry smooths landings on descents. With a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop and 5 mm lugs, this shoe is ready for ultra-marathons and daily trail runs.
