Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Mafate 5 is a pinnacle technical trail shoe designed for distance runners and hikers who demand maximum cushioning and durability on rugged terrain. It is perfectly suited for long-haul efforts where underfoot protection and stability are paramount, though the significant stack height may feel less intuitive for those accustomed to minimal, ground-feel footwear.

FAQs
Are the HOKA Mafate 5 shoes waterproof?
The Mafate 5 is built for technical breathability; it is not waterproof, which helps it drain and dry quickly if it gets wet.
Can I use these for road running?
While durable, the aggressive lugs are designed for soft surfaces. Running exclusively on road will cause premature wear on the traction lugs.
How do I attach a gaiter?
The shoe features specific attachment points around the collar. Please refer to your aftermarket gaiter's instructions for the specific hook or loop compatibility.
Is the Mafate 5 suitable for wide feet?
HOKA footwear generally follows standard athletic widths; however, the structured upper offers a secure fit that many hikers find accommodating.
How long should the cushioning last?
Foam compression depends on user weight and terrain, but generally, these are rated for high-mileage use, typically retaining structural integrity for 400-500 miles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of instability on uneven rocks
Ensure your laces are tightened securely to lock the heel in place, and confirm you are wearing the correct size to prevent internal foot slippage.
Debris entering the shoe on dusty trails
Consider attaching a compatible trail gaiter to the integrated gaiter points to seal the opening.
Outsole losing traction in mud
Clean the lugs thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove packed mud, which restores the bite of the Megagrip compound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, verify your fit using standard UK sizing. When cleaning, avoid high-heat sources like dryers or direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives. Instead, remove loose debris with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water; let the shoes air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. If you use custom orthotics, ensure the factory insole is removed first to maintain proper foot volume and fit.
