Rabbit High Country Review | The Mafate Speed 4 Replacement We’ve Been Waiting For?!

Rabbit High Country Trail Running Shoe Review Anytime an apparel brand releases their first trail shoe, expectations are usually low — but the Rabbit High Country completely surprised me. In this full review, I break down the fit, upper, breathability, water drainage, midsole, outsole, weight, and price of the Rabbit High Country and explain why it feels like a true successor to the Hoka Mafate Speed 4 — a shoe I’ve used for multiple 100-mile races, including Leadville. The High Country features: Flowstate Foam midsole Dual Carbon Trax™ plates for stability A breathable, fast-draining engineered mesh upper A secure, comfortable fit for long trail days Enough protection and stability for 100-mile races and long adventure runs I also compare it directly to: Hoka Mafate Speed 4 Hoka Mafate 5 Other long-distance trail shoes If you were disappointed by the changes in the Mafate 5 and have been searching for a stable, protective, ultra-distance trail shoe, this review is for you. 👇 Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried the Rabbit High Country and what you think. 🔗 Rabbit High Country (Men’s): https://www.runinrabbit.com/collections/trail-mens/products/high-country-mens-2?variant=55248671244657 UltraTrailSteven BOCO Hats are BACK in stock: https://www.ultratrailsteven.com 🏃‍♂️ Push yourself outside of your comfort zone and DO HARD THINGS!
