A pair that makes long-distance trails comfortable.
-It was good! How did you all like wearing the Mafate 5?
Shin: I was surprised. I was especially surprised by the good cushioning in the forefoot area.
-The midsole is made of two layers of foam of different hardness.
TETSU: I felt that the cushioning was the best among all the Hoka models I have worn.
Mahina: I usually wear hard soles, but these soft soles ran well.
HDK: And the forefoot cushioning feels resilient without sinking.
-The resilience of this product is probably due to HOKA's newly developed Rocker Integrity Technology™. The resilience of the carb is thanks to HOKA's newly developed Rocker Integrity Technology™. The technology is designed to maintain a rocker shape even over long distances, and the lightweight, flexible, high-tensile-strength curved TPU plate provides supple resilience with every step.
Penn: Indeed, I felt propulsion, with a rebounding force that propelled me forward.
Shin: Also, the grip is strong, but not too strong. If the grip is too strong, it is difficult to ride on the road because you feel like you are coming to a stop, but this was not the case.
Penn: Yes, it was. I felt safe on the trail without slipping, and if the grip was too strong it would catch and trip me up on the road, but I didn't feel uncomfortable on the road.
Mahina: I was also attracted to the colors. The blue color is cute and the black midsole is just what I've been in the mood for lately. I think they would look cute with casual wear.
HDK: The blue in the midsole, which is different from the upper, is also a nice balance. I think it's a coloring that I can match with my casual wear too.
-The Mafate 5 is durable enough to handle harsh environments, adaptable to diverse terrain, and comfortable enough to keep you running, so we think it will be a pair that will support you on the long-distance trails that you will challenge yourselves on.
Shin: I want to wear them as much as possible.
Mahina: I would like to run long distances in these.
Penn: Yes, I would. I want to try it long.
TETSU: I would like to run 100 miles in the "Mafate 5".
HDK: I am planning to compete in two 100-mile races this season, so I am sure I will be very active.
