Kailas FUGA EX 330 Full Review // with Hoka Mafate 5 Comparison

Looking for the perfect shoe to take on Tor des Géants? In this video, I break down the Kailas FUGA EX 330 — a highly capable long-distance mountain shoe built for extreme vertical, technical alpine terrain, and the massive time-on-feet demands of TDG. I cover its cushioning, stability, grip, fit, and overall durability to help you decide if it’s the right companion for 330km of Aosta Valley punishment. From long descents to steep climbs to rugged high-mountain rock, I share how the FUGA EX 330 performs in real conditions and whether it has what it takes for a multi-day ultra. And at the end of the video, I include a direct comparison against the Hoka Mafate 5 — looking at comfort, protection, outsole performance, responsiveness, and which shoe might better suit your Tor des Géants (or any 100-mile+) goals.
