FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Mafate 5 is built for breathability and protection, but it does not feature a dedicated waterproof membrane.

Can I use these for road running?

While technically trail runners, the cushioning makes them comfortable on road surfaces, but you may experience faster wear on the aggressive lugs.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

You should have 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 these suitable for wide feet?

The HOKA fit is generally accommodating, but it is recommended to try them on as fit can vary based on individual arch structure.

What is the primary benefit of the rocker design?

The Rocker Integrity Technology promotes a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off, reducing strain on the lower legs.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping inside the shoe

Adjust the lacing tension and ensure the heel is firmly seated in the heel counter.

Accumulation of trail debris inside

Consider attaching a trail-specific ankle gaiter to the integrated points on the shoe collar.

Outsole debris retention

Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear dirt from the deep Vibram lug gaps after runs to maintain grip effectiveness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional impact absorption for long runs
  • High-traction outsole performs well on technical terrain
  • Sturdy construction offers long-term durability
  • Smooth transition thanks to Rocker Integrity design

Cons

  • Heavier than minimalist trail alternatives
  • Maximum cushioning might lack ground feel for some runners
  • Larger profile may feel cumbersome on tight, technical paths

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, it is recommended to break in the shoes on moderate trails before attempting extreme endurance efforts. For compatibility, ensure you select your standard athletic shoe size to accommodate the internal cushioning layer. To clean your Mafate 5, remove excess mud with a soft brush after every run. If the trainers become heavily soiled, hand-wash them with cold water and a mild detergent. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or sunlight, to maintain the integrity of the foam and glue.
