Stability

The Mafate 5 contains our J-Frame(TM) technology designed to prevent excessive inward roll, or overpronation, without overcorrecting your gait.

The Mafate 5 contains features that make the shoe inherently stable, such as a wide base and our Active Foot Frame, for a moderate amount of stability that is still designed to work for neutral gaits.

The Mafate 5 features a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies. Designed to provide the support you want and nothing you don't.

From the Expert: Mafate 5

00:03 Hi, I'm Annie Kawasaki.
00:05 I'm a product line manager here at HOKA.
00:07 Let's chat about the latest update
00:08 to the shoe that started it all for us, the Mafate 5.
00:11 HOKA's reputation was built on the trails
00:13 that the Mafate blazed,
00:14 and it just keeps getting better
00:16 with new foam combinations, improved rocker technologies,
00:19 and a relentless focus on performance materials
00:21 for those long-haul technical trail runs.
00:23 For us,
00:24 Improvements always start with the design approach we call the Heart of Hoka.
00:28 The Heart of Hoka ethos focuses on three design principles.
00:32 Exceptional cushioning, the active foot frame, and the metal rocker.
00:36 For the Mafate 5, we flipped the script on foam compounds by providing a two-part midsole system.
00:41 A soft, resilient foam underfoot for support is interlocked with an even softer foam
00:46 to morph around rough terrain.
00:48 The Mafate 5 utilizes a moderate
00:49 metal rocker for a balanced ride, enhanced by our new Rocker Integrity technology,
00:54 which is designed to reinforce and maintain the shape of the four-foot rocker profile over time.
00:59 This helps keep the Mafate 5 rocking for as long as you do.
01:02 The Mafate 5 also has a rear foot focus active foot frame.
01:06 to support your heel and arch, acting like a bucket seat to fully cradle your foot.
01:11 Moving to the upper, the Mafate 5 provides durable, lightweight support and protection
01:15 by employing a breathable warp knit with anti-fray treatment to guard against blowouts on the trail.
01:21 A new feature is an integrated gaiter attachment to help keep debris out of the shoe on those
01:25 gnarlier runs, all protected by a durable Vibram MegaGrip outsole with 5mm lugs.
01:31 With innovative cushioning, protective fit, and tried and true traction, there's nothing
01:36 you can't handle in the Mafate 5.

    They don't work for me

    It's a good shoe, but it doesn't work well for me because it emphasizes my pronation and is too soft. I wasted my money on this one for nothing.

    We're sorry to hear that these shoes aren't quite right for you. We offer a 30-day trial period (60 days for HOKA members) if you need to return them.

    You being comfortable while flying through your miles is one of our highest priorities. We’re glad you got this pair back to us since the tongue didn’t feel the best. A refund was issued on 9/29/26 going back to your initial form of payment. We recommend looking at the Stinson 8 shoe, which is another plush style offering maximum cushioning for the trails and an updated lug design and orientation is honed for all-terrain traction. Take them for a spin with our 30 day guarantee HERE to see how they measure up.

    Couldn’t have done a trail race without them

    These are my first trail shoe and I bought them for my first (and treacherous) trail race. They were fantastic from the first run. I didn’t want to go with a more expensive trail shoe because I didn’t know how I was going to fare with having little/no experience on trails. They took great care of me...

    website kept blocking purchase

    I tried to purchase these shoes about 5 times over the course of a month. Each time, the website would confirm my order only to cancel it 10 minutes later by email. I finally gave up. Guess I won't be ordering Hoka's....ever!!

    We strive for all orders placed to be processed and shipped out as quickly as possible. Typically, when an order is canceled, there's usually a discrepancy between billing or shipping information entered at checkout and what's on file with your bank. You can always visit us locally by checking authorized HOKA retail stores HERE in your area. If you have additional questions, click HERE, and we would be glad to assist.
