Running shoes HOKA MAFATE SPEED 2

The HOKA MAFATE SPEED 2 is a maximally cushioned trail running shoe for ultrarunners and those seeking exceptional protection on long runs. Built for non-technical trails and steady-paced efforts, it excels on harder surfaces where thick cushioning reduces fatigue over extended distances.

The shoe features a 33mm heel and 29mm forefoot RMAT midsole—a blend of EVA and rubber that provides substantial damping. A Vibram Megagrip outsole with aggressive 5mm lugs delivers reliable traction across varied terrain. The seamless No Sew SpeedFrame upper uses Monomesh construction with padded ankle cuff and conventional laces. An arch support pod and early-stage Meta-Rocker geometry are integrated into the platform. The foot sits slightly recessed into the sole for added stability despite the substantial stack height.

Weight is 290g in EU 42.5. Stack height measures 33mm in the heel and 29mm in the foreground, with a 4mm drop.
