The Mafate Speed 4 is an overhaul redesign of previous models. It keeps the same character and aim but updates the midsole/ outsole combination, foam and upper design. Famously known for contributing to Jim Walmsleys winning run at the Western States the Mafate model offers an alternative to other high cushioned and lightweight trail options such as the Speedgoat.
The Mafates responsive cushioning makes it a pinnacle product for technical trail, distilling elements of the EVO Mafate and previous Mafate speeds. It features a breathable, single layer jacquard mesh upper and a PROFLY midsole (the MOST responsive Hoka foam underfoot yet). The outsole is Vibram Megagrip, with Litebase construction and 5mm lugs, the shoe has a toe cap for protection and durability and the heel collar includes a bolstered construction for comfort and fit.
