Nordas. Dyneema construction, designed for durability. May/May not be a good shoe for your needs. Designed to give double the mileage than Altras/Hokas. That said, I've found my Hoka Mafates routinely give me 500+ drama-free miles, whereas all my Altras would usually explode at ~300miles.
r/trailrunning • Most durable trail running shoes? ->I require a wider toe box as well, and the mafate has it. I had mafate first and then tried speedgoat and they were terrible for me. Mafate for much better. I currently have Norda 001 and the toe box isn't big enough
r/ultrarunning • Hoka Speedgoat - more durable, wider toe box alternative? ->I thought the 5 was awful and haven't even tried the 6. Have 2 pairs of 5s with about 100k in each. Lugs wore quickly and you felt every rock in them. Very little energy return from the foam. Switched to mafates and they are a better shoe is every way for me
r/trailrunning • Are the Speedgoat 6s really that terrible? ->Few are duplicate pairs because i like the shoes that much. 3 pairs of hoka mafates and 2 pairs of tecton x2s
r/trailrunning • Do you own multiple pairs of shoes? ->I’ve done plenty of races and you’re definitely going to want shoes with tight laces and deep lugs. See Salomon Speedcross and Hoka Mafate for reference. Don’t do a waterproof shoe.
r/spartanrace • What shoes for first Spartan? ->Hoka Mafates are the most durable for me. However I'm lighter weight. But Mafates are well made shoes.
r/trailrunning • I’ve been running in the mountain for over a month and my shoes are getting destroyed what should I get ? ->Hoka Mafates are the most durable for me. However I'm lighter weight. But Mafates are well made shoes.
r/trailrunning • I’ve been running in the mountain for over a month and my shoes are getting destroyed what should I get ? ->If you like Clifton’s try the Hoka Mafate.
r/trailrunning • Female runners - what’s your favourite cushioned trail running shoe? ->Iv gone thru 1 pair of Speedgoat 5’s and have another 2 in my collection, so this is to say I enjoy the speedgoats. Over the summer I demo’d a pair of mafate’s which I enjoyed and didn’t find too different than the speed goats. I also recently added a pair of Oncloud Clouvistas which I did a 50k in and I liked those —grip isn’t as good as the speedgoats but similar padding. Finally Iv also had a pair of oncloud cloudventure peaks but those were minimalist padding and I felt the lugs wore out quickly so I wouldn’t recommend those
r/trailrunning • Are the Speedgoat 6s really that terrible? ->I found all Topos to run short. Wore a women's 8.5 in HOKAs and a size 10 in Topos. I trained in the Speedgoats and Mafates and currently wear Pursuits and Ultraventures
r/Ultramarathon • Ultra Trail shoes & wide feet? ->Hello :) J'ai 3 paires : Hoka Speed Goat , Hoka Mafate et Salomon Sens Ride 5. Niveau souplesse et confort : les Hoka !
