The HOKA Mafate 5 has been developed by the brand as a technical terrain footwear style engineered to support athletes looking to go the distance on some of the most demanding environments. The sneakers are built to meet the requirements of ultra-long runs and rugged trail runners alike in mind, and are paired with impressive cushioning including a dual-density midsole. The sneakers have super critical foam top layer for improved bounce and a denser layer for enhanced stability.

The HOKA Mafate 5 is rounded out with Rocker Integrity Technology to maximize smooth transitions on uneven terrain and are paired with a Vibram Megagrip outsole with 5mm Traction Lugs. A reinforced warp knit on the upper helps to elevate breathability and overall durability.
