Hoka Mafate 5

Meet the HOKA Mafate 5 — a premium trail shoe built for runners and walkers who spend serious time on rugged, technical terrain and want maximum cushioning without losing control.

Designed for long days on the trails, the Mafate 5 is ideal for anyone tackling steep climbs, rocky descents, loose gravel or uneven singletrack. Whether you’re running ultra-distance trails, hiking long routes, or mixing walking and running on demanding surfaces, this shoe delivers confidence, protection and comfort mile after mile.

Underfoot, the plush dual-density midsole combines a soft, springy super-critical foam directly beneath the foot with a more impact-absorbing layer closer to the ground. This setup helps reduce fatigue on long outings while still keeping you stable and protected from sharp rocks and roots. HOKA’s Rocker Integrity Technology promotes a smooth, efficient stride, making it easier to keep moving forward when the terrain gets tough.

The aggressive Vibram® Megagrip outsole with 5mm lugs bites into wet rock, loose dirt and muddy trails, giving you reliable traction whether you’re power hiking uphill or bombing downhill. Up top, the durable warp-knit upper with a stretchy Dynamic Vamp adapts to foot swelling over long distances, while a TPU cage adds structure and security. Optional gaiter attachment points help keep debris out on gnarly trails.

If your trail adventures demand cushioning, grip and durability in equal measure, the Mafate 5 is built to go the extra mile.
