The HOKA Mafate Speed 2 has proven to be a reliable transition shoe for this former Altra enthusiast who tackles mostly technical terrain. I can confirm that after about 40 miles, they've broken in well and seem to perform quite reliably on the trail. I appreciate the extra cushioning and robust toe protection—a true savior against hidden trail hazards ("toe stumpers"). The traction over loose ground is also remarkably effective. It’s worth noting that the break-in period took patience; if they don't feel right initially, give them some trail time before considering a return, and be mindful of the fit. A word of caution on sizing: my usual method of going up a half-size did not work for the Mafates, and running in anything thicker than a thin merino wool blend sock is a non-starter. I'm now eagerly awaiting the first snowfall to truly test their wet weather performance, and I’ll certainly update this review if they go "off the rails" after another 50 miles.
Nice hoka just i would love to this hike shoes in half number just 7 o 8 and is a little bit big im think if chance 7 but i worrie that can be to small now
