Hoka Mafate X Hike Walking Boots
A long-haul hiker that fuses the featherweight feel of your favourite running shoe with the rugged dependability of a classic hiker, the Mafate X Hike is geared to go the distance. Offering the same hyper-cushy ride and snappy carbon fibre plate as the original Mafate X, an integrated neoprene collar for extra ankle support, adjustable speed hooks, and areas of zonal durability.
Durable Haptic Upper
The Mafate X Hike has been crafted using a durable haptic material which reinforces the upper from toe to heel, ensuring long-lasting durability to supplement a firm and adaptive feel, without sacrificing breathability. The upper is highly breathable and features zonal areas which encourage cool air to circulate while enabling warm, unwanted air to escape. This helps you stay cool, dry, and comfortable, even as your activity intensifies. The neoprene mid collar provides lightweight support and protection, while the adjustable toggle system works alongside adjustable speed hooks for a locked-in, secure fit and also helps prevent in-shoe slippage. Completing the upper is a built-in RECCO reflector to make you searchable to rescuers when you're in an emergency in the mountains.
PEBA Core Midsole
Offering an exceptionally comfortable ride, the Mafate X Hike utilises a PEBA Core foam midsole to provide a more cushioned, responsive experience. The foam adapts to your stride and provides you with great cushioning and flexibility, and also helps to reduce injury by absorbing impact for a softer landing. Also residing in the midsole is a super critically foamed EVA carrier, which works alongside the PEBA Core foam to enhance underfoot cushioning and shock absorption. A carbon fibre plate helps to deliver a smoother transition throughout the gait cycle. The carbon plate minimises energy loss, increases explosive propulsion and delivers an abundance of structural support, making running feel effortless and giving you the confidence to reach new PBs.
Vibram Megagrip Outsole
The Hoka Mafate X Hike is equipped with a Vibram Megagrip outsole, designed to deliver exceptional traction and grip across various terrains. This high-performance rubber compound offers outstanding grip on both wet and dry surfaces, ensuring durability and excellent ground adaptability. The rubber effectively bonds with the ground, providing reliable traction and control as you venture off the beaten path. Additionally, the outsole features multi-directional lugs that offer flexible and sticky traction, giving you confidence during challenging ascents and descents. These lugs provide extra support and stability, allowing you to fully trust your footwear for any outdoor exploration.
