USER SHOE REVIEWS: Evo Mafate 2

What gave John Ellis wings? certainly not just caffeinated drinks?  Today we look at his latest running shoes and see if we can pick up a hint or two:

 

GR: Which model is your trusted pick right now?

John: The HOKA Evo Mafate 2, these are my go-to training and +50km race shoe.

 

GR: As of Aug 2021, how many pairs have you destroyed?

John (laugh): “I've got maybe 6-7 pairs now."

 

It's good to have a few pairs in rotation. 

Each shoe wears off slightly differently, rotating keeps both your shoes and your legs in good form. 

 

GR:  And how is it so beloved?

John: “It has an amazing cushioning,  still I find it very agile.
And it has the Vibram Megagrip.  Which is one of the few soles that really has the stability on the wet and rocky Hong Kong trails."

 

 

If you want to try out John's recommendation, check out the HOKA range here.

Also do watch the Gone Running Youtube channel on John's sharing about downhill techniques for how he gets the best out of his trusted running equipment.
