Hoka OneOne Mauna Kea is a lightweight hiking style, offering the performance of the ever-popular Mafate for those who want to take in the trails at a more relaxed pace. This new model incorporates the key elements that make the Mafate great, with a few changes.
How it Works:
- Using a lower ramp angle (4 mm) and a rocker shaped, feather-weight midsole, the Hoka OneOne Mauna Kea reproduces the conditions a barefoot runner experiences when running on grass or sand.
- The Mauna Kea's oversized midsole will absorb any hard obstacle your foot may encounter, and once compressed, the feather-weight EVA midsole springs back under your forefoot for increased acceleration.
- The Waterproof upper of the Mauna Kea is reinforced with synthetic leather to protect the it against tearing, benefitting the performance-minded hiker.
- The toe bumper of the Mauna Kea also provides more protection from the trails.
- With 50% more surface area in contact with the ground, and a midsole that allows the foot to recess into it by almost one inch, the shoe provides protection, stability, and pronation control unmatched in stability hiking models.
The Mauna Kea runs true to size. The largest size available at this time is a size 12.5. If your foot is wide, we suggest ordering a half size up.
