After months of hype, the Hoka Mafate X trail running shoe has finally arrived, and it's a towering titan even by Hoka standards.
As a quick recap, the original Mafate was the first trail running shoe from Hoka, released back in 2010 when the brand first launched in Annecy. At the time, it looked a little out of place with its thick midsole, rocker geometry, and bright colors in a sea of minimalist shoes, but it wouldn't take long for a trail shoe revolution to take place.
