There’s no running sneaker on the market that’s more hyped (or more cushioned) than those from Hoka One One. The brand’s shoes are known for their supportive fit and plush soles, and its latest release is among its beefiest. With fall approaching, Hoka has updated its Mafate 3 sneaker with new details and in three new color schemes, taking care to highlight the model’s huge sole unit.
Why so bulky? The Mafate 3 is a trail running sneaker, meaning its aggressive dual-density outsole is built to handle rocky and uneven terrain. Equipped with high-performance cushioning, abrasion-resistant rubbers, and a late-stage meta-rocker to assist nimble foot rolls, the shoe is advertised as the ultimate rocky mountain runner. In fact, Hoka’s website touts the Mafate 3 as a “trail beast” that can “step up to handle what nature puts in your path.”
