Sold old as new
No, I do not recommend this product
I like the product itself but REI has obviously sold and sent me a used/returned item as new. The shoes arrived in an REI box that said the original had been damaged, the shoes didn’t have any of their original labeling and had obviously been worn. Now I will have to waste time driving down there to return them. A 1-year return policy is generous, but not when you start selling second hand products as new. This is the last time I waste effort ordering online with REI (last time I was sold a pair of shoes that were two different sizes).

Very nice shoe
Been running on these for about 100 miles now. I like them so much i am switching back to Hoka. Was running New Ballance and other shoes. I have a very wide foot and also run on steep trails and rocks. What I like about this shoe is the heel is softer than the midsole and toe. When your running down steep hills the softer heel takes some of the stress off the knee. I alternate mid, toe heel when running downhill to take the stress off but these shoes really are amazing. I don't have any negatives.

Bouncy Blue Clouds
Yes , I recommend this product
I have been a steadfast HOKA Speedgoat 5 GTX loyalist. Right out of the box the Mafate 5 feel as good as they look. If I had to choose one word it would be bouncy. They have all of the cushion of my beloved Speedgoat 5 GTX with a MUCH softer cushion with the same great Vibram grip. So much softer feel on declines. I usually get 3-4 months or 500-600 miles out of a pair of Speedgoats so I am excited to see how these hold up but the Mafate 5 has a chance to be my new favorite HOKA.

Bes trail shoes I have owned
Yes , I recommend this product
Best trail shoes yet. I have owned many Hoka shoes, both road and trail, and these, by far, are the best. Very cushioned and great stability. I could run forever in these. Literally all my foot pain has disappeared.

Amazingly comfortable
Yes , I recommend this product
The Mafate 5 are easily the most comfortable shoe I own. Coming from speedgoat 4 there is no comparison between the level of cushion these provide. Some reviews have said they ruined the Mafate with the 4 being the perfect shoe and the new version being to much "squish" but I disagree. These are prefect for my use which is combination road to trail running.

No, I do not recommend this product
Was happy until the eyelet tore - 30 days after purchase and maybe 12 wearings. Sent them back and Hoka said outside of warranty - bad product, bad warranty, bad service. 0 for 3

Where’s the tongue?
No, I do not recommend this product
Nice looking and very comfortable but, where is the tongue? They don’t have one, which make them a little uncomfortable around the front of the ankles.
