HOKA Mafate X Hike brings a carbon plate to hiking footwear
The unisex model combines a neoprene collar, PEBA cushioning and a Vibram Megagrip outsole.
The HOKA Mafate X Hike adapts features from the Mafate X trail-running shoe for hiking. HOKA lists a carbon-fiber plate, a PEBA core and a supercritically foamed EVA carrier, with a neoprene mid-height collar and adjustable speed hooks. HOKA’s official product page.
Other listed features include zonal upper reinforcement, a Vibram Megagrip outsole and a built-in RECCO reflector. The manufacturer’s Australian listing gives a weight of 462 g and a 7 mm heel-to-toe drop for the unisex model; it does not state a reference size beside that weight.
The design brings substantial cushioning together with hiking-specific details such as the higher collar and reinforced upper. HOKA’s regional listings provide local sizes, prices and availability.
