Size & Fit

The Mafate 5 is built as a regular-width technical trail shoe. Start with your normal HOKA running-shoe size; if you are between sizes or expect significant foot swelling on long trail days, compare your foot measurement with HOKA’s official size chart before choosing.

Why You’ll Love It

Built for demanding trail days — Plush dual-density cushioning gives the Mafate 5 the protection you want when the terrain gets rough and the kilometres stack up.

Serious grip — Vibram Megagrip and 5 mm lugs provide the traction needed for steep, technical and uneven trail surfaces.

More stable underfoot — Rocker Integrity Technology is designed to help keep transitions controlled and confident on broken terrain.
