The [http://www.zappos.com/hoka-mafate Mafate] is only available as a trail version and it's the heaviest, thickest and least flexible of the Hokas, and probably any running shoe made. 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 Clifton]] 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. However, if you want the most cushioned shoe, with an aggressive outsole for the trail, the Mafate is well worth considering
