Huckberry’s winter sale has officially wrapped, but we’ll let you in on a secret: The retailer still has some great deals live, including this bestselling Relwen jacket and even this pair of lined Birkenstock clogs. We're also eyeing the Hoka Mafate Speed 2, one of the brand's trail running shoes that's often overshadowed by the Speedgoat, which is still up to 40% off after the close of Huckberry's sale.

The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 Trail Sneaker is still on sale for as low as $102, a massive discount of up to 40% off its normal price of $170. Only one colorway (Alabaster/Oat Milk) is available at that price, but it has a full range of sizes (at the moment) from 8 to 13 available. Another color is also on sale for $119 while two more are $136. We've seen Hoka running shoes fly off the shelves once they go on sale, and if the size you need is gone, we recommend checking the Hoka site directly.

The Mafate Speed 2 is designed for versatility, and it’s a great pick for all kinds of off-pavement pursuits. There’s a lot of tech in these sneakers: The midsole is made from Hoka’s compression-molded EVA compound for reliable cushioning, an Active Foot Frame cradles your foot and provides support as you move, and the entire sole has a rockered shape to promote smooth transitions from landing to toe-off. Up top, a no-sew SpeedFrame upper saves weight, an external debris screen keeps brush and rocks from poking into your feet, and a TPU heel counter supports the back of your foot. On the bottom, a Vibram MegaGrip rubber outsole with burly 5mm lugs offers plenty of bite for tackling gnarly terrain with confidence.

While there aren’t any reviews for the Mafate on the Huckberry website, if you head over to Hoka, you’ll see that shoppers have been very pleased with this shoe’s performance. One called them “the best walking shoes.”

“These sneakers are very comfortable and have great support,” said another. “Also, the traction is great.” A third shopper said they’re “very comfy and light compared to my other Hoka shoes.”

The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 makes an ideal go-anywhere trail shoe, and you can lace ‘em up for backwoods trail runs, day hikes, and even casual strolls. Their unique blend of support, grip, and comfort make them a really useful pair of sneakers—and an unbeatable value of as low as $102. But you’ll have to act fast because Hoka shoes are always a popular choice, and some sizes are already out of stock.
