Hoka EVO Mafate 2 Trail Running Shoes
The second instalment of the EVO Mafate helps you take on the trails in style, comfort and protection. With lightweight cushioning, supreme grip and outstanding durability, these shoes will be your ideal companion on all your hard worked miles.
Lightweight Mesh Upper
Using Hoka's developed Martyx technology, the upper part of the shoe is made from a durable and thin material. The material sits gently above the foot, moulding to the shape of it. This secures the foot into place, meaning that it doesn't move around within the shoe. This reduced the risk of injury from a rolling or slipping inside the shoe. A steady airflow is allowed in and out of the mesh upper, keeping the feet ventilated and cool. A thicker material covers the toe to protect it from bumps and knocks, whilst the heel also is held into place by strong walls. Up the foot laces and a padded tongue make finding a secure and comfortable fit an easy task. Padding around the tongue and the back of the heel reduce the risk of irritation caused by rubbing.
EVA Midsole
A larger and more extended midsole than usual for a trail shoe, the EVO Mafate gives you cushioning and support for mile after mile. Shocks underfoot are absorbed instantly. This stops any impact or pressure from reaching the sole of the foot. There are two different types EVA layered in the midsole. The first and top one is designed to create a soft feel underfoot. The bottom layer delivers a responsive and springy rebound across all parts of the foot. In direct contact with the foot, there is a soft sock liner. Over time, this the sock liner, which is long lasting and moisture wicking, moulds to the shape of your foot for a unique and personalised fit. Rubberised foam within the midsole and outsole provide a responsiveness ride and resistance to compression so your feet have all the help they need on more technical trails.
