=Compared with the Asics GT 2000=
I like to compare shoes against the [[Asics GT 2000]] as it represents the traditional running shoe, and the comparison may be useful if you're considering the Mafate instead of a more conventional shoe. Like many shoes, the GT 2000 is over engineered and includes many things that go against [[The Science of Running Shoes]] and are more likely to cause problems than solve them. The Mafate is thicker than the GT 2000, but the difference is mostly in the forefoot, as the Mafate is 10mm thicker there, but only 5mm thicker at the rear. However, the Mafate is much better cushioned, with a soft feeling that is a core part of a [[Minimax]] shoe. The two shoes weigh nearly the same, so they'll slow you down by about the same amount. The Mafate has a far more aggressive outsole than the GT 2000. The Mafate has less drop than the GT 2000, but this is less noticeable when your weight is in the shoe.
