With the unique HOKA design combination of Meta-Rocket, Active Foot Frame, & a super cushioned midsole as a start point, the EVO Mafate is a showcase of trail shoe innovation. HOKA employs R-BOUND to increase repsonse, grip & durability to the midsole, while a patented MATRYX fabric upper delivers exceptional foothold (strategically placed Kevlar stabilizers support the foot), protection, & water drainage. & 5mm Vibram Megagrip lugs on the outsole ensure that when your feet are on the ground, they're truly on the ground. No terrain too tough. No distance too far.
