FAQs

What type of runner is the HOKA Mafate 5 best suited for?

The Mafate 5 is ideal for trail runners, especially those tackling long distances and technical terrains, who prioritize cushioning, protection, and grip.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Mafate 5?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

Can I use the Mafate 5 for road running?

While the Mafate 5 can be used on roads, it's designed specifically for trails. The aggressive outsole may wear down faster on pavement.

How should I clean my Mafate 5 shoes?

Use a soft brush and mild soap to clean the upper and outsole. Rinse with water and air dry away from direct heat.

Are the shoes waterproof?

The Mafate 5 is not fully waterproof, but the upper material offers some water resistance. Consider using a waterproof spray for added protection.

How often should I replace my Mafate 5 shoes?

The lifespan of the shoes depends on usage. Replace them when the cushioning is diminished or the outsole shows significant wear.

Does the Mafate 5 come with a warranty?

Contact HOKA customer support for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Excessive wear on the outsole lugs.

Minimize running on paved surfaces. Rotate between multiple pairs of shoes to extend the life of the Mafate 5.

Shoes feel too tight.

Loosen the laces or try a different lacing configuration. Consider going up a half size.

Discomfort or blisters on long runs.

Ensure proper sizing and lacing. Use moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction and blister risk.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

Clean the outsole regularly to maintain grip. Adjust your stride and pace accordingly when running on wet terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Sizing: Ensure a proper fit by measuring your foot and comparing it to the HOKA size chart. Consider sizing up for extra room, especially for long runs.
  2. Lacing: Use the lacing system to secure the shoe comfortably around your foot, adjusting for a snug but not overly tight fit.
  3. Optional Gaiter: Attach a gaiter using the gaiter attachment points for increased protection against debris.

Compatibility

The HOKA Mafate 5 is designed for use on trails and is compatible with various running socks and orthotic inserts. It is best suited for neutral runners.

Care

  1. Cleaning: After each run, remove any dirt or debris from the outsole and upper. Use a soft brush and mild soap if needed.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  4. Avoid: Avoid machine washing or drying the shoes, as this can damage the materials and affect the shoe's performance.
