Is the Mafate Speed 2 good for road running?

It can handle short road stretches, but the tall lugs and soft foam feel vague on pavement. It is built for trail.

What is the drop and stack height?

The drop is 4mm, which is lower than most HOKA road shoes. The stack is high for max cushioning on descents.

Does it fit true to size?

Most owners go true to size, and the wide fit suits broader feet. Runners between sizes often size down for a closer trail fit.

No. The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof, and it takes on water in wet conditions.

One pair of shoes with laces. Insoles are included; socks and other accessories are not.

Is it worth buying over a lighter trail racer?

If you want maximum protection and stability on long, technical runs, yes. If you race short and fast, a lighter shoe will feel quicker.

About the HOKA Mafate Speed 2

The HOKA Mafate Speed 2 is a max-cushion trail shoe built for long, rough runs, with a 4mm drop, a wide platform and a lugged rubber outsole. It has a cult following for its plush ride and stable feel on technical ground. It is heavier and bulkier than modern trail racers, so it suits runners who value protection and stability over speed.
