FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While technically usable on roads, the Mafate 5 is specifically optimized for technical trails and will perform best on off-road, uneven terrain.
Do I need to break these in?
Most runners find them comfortable out of the box, but a few short walks or light runs are recommended to allow the foam to adapt to your stride.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Are they waterproof?
The Mafate 5 prioritizes breathability; they are not fully waterproof, though they offer protection against trail debris.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram outsole?
The Vibram Megagrip compound provides industry-leading traction, essential for maintaining grip on loose, wet, or technical terrain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to provide a locked-in fit, and check that the shoe size is appropriate for your foot shape.
Debris getting inside the shoe
Attach an optional ankle gaiter to the integrated points on the shoe to seal the opening.
Outsole losing grip
Inspect the lugs for stuck mud or compacted debris and clean the outsole with a stiff brush to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Mafate 5 trainers, ensure you have the correct fit, as the structured nature of the shoe requires a secure heel lock. If using with gaiters, attach them using the designated anchor points before starting your run to ensure they remain secure. For care, remove excess mud after use by letting it dry and brushing it away with a soft brush; avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the specialized foam and adhesive bonds. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature material aging.
