Mafate (1st Generation)

I just made the switch too! I’m loving Mount to Coast shoes! Although I have multiple hoka mafates and they’ve held up really well.

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.

Hoka is trash. My mafates blew apart after 50km and they refused to replace/refund them. Will never buy anything from them and will also steer others clear.

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 

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.

Hoka Mafates are the most durable for me. However I'm lighter weight. But Mafates are well made shoes.

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
