FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Mafate 5 is built for breathability and moisture management; while they protect against trail debris, they are not classified as waterproof.

Can I use these for road running?

While technically a trail shoe, the cushioning is comfortable; however, the aggressive lugs will wear down prematurely on asphalt.

How do I attach a gaiter?

Check the collar of the shoe for specific connection points or hook loops provided by your aftermarket gaiter brand.

Is the sizing consistent with other HOKA models?

Generally, HOKA sizing remains consistent, but the robust build of the Mafate 5 may feel slightly more snug than thinner models.

How often should I replace the soles?

Depending on the intensity and terrain, you should monitor the wear on the lugs; replace when the traction pattern begins to smooth out significantly.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents

Try the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to secure the ankle more firmly.

Dirt buildup in the tread

Use a stiff-bristled brush to knock out packed mud from the lugs after the mud has dried.

Sole feeling stiff out of the box

The dual-density foam requires a short 'break-in' period; take them on shorter 3-5 mile hikes before attempting long distances.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on technical terrain
  • High level of shock absorption for long days
  • Robust protection against trail debris
  • Smooth transition through stride cycle

Cons

  • Heavier than minimalist trail options
  • May feel bulky for high-speed racing
  • Requires break-in time for optimal fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Mafate 5 shoes, verify you have the correct UK size for your foot shape. If you frequently hike in sandy or muddy conditions, consider utilizing the integrated ankle gaiter attachment points to prevent debris from entering the shoe.

Care Instructions:

  1. Remove surface dirt after every hike using a soft brush.
  2. Clean with lukewarm water and a mild soap if heavily soiled.
  3. Air dry in a cool, shaded area; do not place near direct heat sources or in a clothes dryer to prevent glue degradation and foam damage.
