{{DISPLAYTITLE:Best Running Shoe Reviews – Hoka Mafate}}
The Mafate is only available as a trail version and it's the heaviest and thickest of the Hokas. Even when you're used to running in other Hoka shoes, the Mafate seems like it's a huge beast. I don't think the extra thickness and weight is worth it, and I prefer the [[Hoka Bondi]] or the [[Altra Olympus]]. The Mafate does have a more aggressive outsole than the trail [[Hoka Stinson]] but it's not enough for me to recommend the Mafate over the Stinson. The Mafate outsole is reasonably happy on roads, though I've found the outsole sometimes lacks grip on wet asphalt.
