We’re now looking at the fifth generation of this shoe (they grow up so fast these days), with previous members of the Hoka Mafate family being among the best trail running shoes on the market in their day.
None of us is a carbon copy of our parents, but the apple has fallen quite far from the tree with the Mafate 5, which bears so little resemblance to its predecessor that I’d consider asking for a paternity test if I were Mr Mafate 4.
