Mafate X M Black/Skyward Blue

The Mafate X Black/Skyward Blue is a men's trail running shoe from the brand Hoka.

An X innovative take on a model Mafate already well-established in the world of ultra-trail running, this shoe—which previously focused on comfort and long-lasting precision—is making a big impact by integrating a carbon plate to make it even more responsive.

It features a breathable mesh upper to keep your feet cool during long workouts and has a lightweight toe cap to protect you from stones.

Its thick midsole provides exceptional cushioning on varied terrain, and its outsole Vibram Megagrip ensures optimal grip on all surfaces, whether technical or slippery.

As you can Hoka see, this shoe is in top shape for high-performance long-distance runners, offering no compromise on comfort by combining cushioning and responsiveness with a thicker rebound foam and a midsole plate. It also retains its famous MetaRocker design for smoother transitions, powerful take-offs, outstanding traction and a more natural stride.

You’ll no doubt see her leading the race very soon – unless you’re wearing them yourself!
