In addition, thanks to the presence of Kevlar stabilizing cables, the grip and fit of the foot are more than assured. The strategically padded microfiber tongue will provide comfort where you need it most. Importantly, the upper fabric of this Hoka One One Evo Mafate facilitates water drainage, so you can also achieve maximum performance in adverse weather conditions.
