Hoka Mafate 5 Men’s Trail Running Shoe – Built for Ultra‑Distance and Rugged Terrain

Tackle Australia’s most technical and unforgiving trails with confidence in the Hoka Mafate 5 Men’s Trail Running Shoe. Designed for ultra-distance runs and mountainous terrain, the Mafate 5 features a redesigned dual-density midsole using a responsive supercritical foam on top and a durable, stabilising base below. This combination delivers an optimal blend of soft landings and structured propulsion, perfect for long days on your feet in the bush or mountains.

The updated upper features a warp-knit jacquard mesh that balances breathability and support, reinforced with a TPU cage to resist abrasion. Integrated gaiter attachments ensure compatibility with your trail gaiters for extra debris protection, making the Mafate 5 ideal for off-track or sandy environments.

A precise, dialled-in fit is achieved with an anatomically shaped heel counter, padded collar, and updated sockliner for enhanced step-in comfort. Meanwhile, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole with aggressive 5mm multidirectional lugs ensures you’ll stay planted on everything from slick rock to muddy descents.

At Run Trails, we recommend the Mafate 5  for runners tackling elevation, technical switchbacks, rocky trails, and long ultramarathons. Whether you’re hitting the Victorian Alps, the Blue Mountains, or the wilds of Tassie, this shoe delivers confidence and comfort with every step.
