FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate 5 is designed for breathability and is not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While durable, the aggressive lug pattern is specifically optimized for soft surfaces and may wear prematurely on abrasive road pavement.
What is the drop of the shoe?
The HOKA Mafate 5 features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
How should I clean the outsole?
Allow mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft brush.
Is this a neutral shoe?
Yes, it is designed as a neutral trainer, providing support through geometry rather than firm medial posts.
Are the laces standard?
Yes, they come with high-quality standard laces that allow for secure locking.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through the eyelets to lock the heel in place.
Excessive dirt accumulation in lugs
Use a stiff plastic-bristle brush to clear debris from the Vibram outsole after trail runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you have the correct fit; as a neutral trainer, it works well with most standard insoles. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they fit within the existing volume of the shoe. To care for your Mafate 5s, remove excess mud after use with a soft brush once dry. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat dryers, as this can degrade the specialized foam and adhesive bonds. If the interior becomes saturated, remove the liner and stuff with paper towels to draw out moisture in a ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
