Incredible shoe for trail running and generally on dirt....I have run with the Mafate 3 and 4...I would recommend a size larger...of course, everyone's experience with how the shoe fits on their foot is different....the prices for mountain shoes are a bit steep in general...happy running!!!

Simply the best, I've been using it since the first release and I continue steadily with them, no matter what terrain you step on, you don't feel anything, excellent grip on rocks, mud, everywhere... I highly recommend it, the top trail shoe

Awesome shoe. You don't even realize you're wearing it. They are designed for running on mountain trails and you really don't feel anything.
I got them in size 42 (I wear 42.5 in Nike).

The best trail shoe from HOKA in my opinion, having trained and competed with its cousin, the Speedgoat. There is no comparison between the two, the Mafate is several steps above. It has incredibly better foot lockdown, a thicker tongue and not paper-thin like the SG, and overall it is a shoe that will take you through all terrains.
