Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Mafate Hike Hiking Shoes are designed for adult male hikers seeking durable yet flexible footwear that offers running-inspired comfort for extended treks. Their key benefit is enabling users to hike higher, faster, and longer with reduced effort due to a blend of robust construction and lightweight design. A potential consideration is their running-shoe silhouette, which might differ from traditional hiking boot aesthetics. These shoes feature a Vibram Megagrip outsole, a breathable Matryx upper, and HOKA's signature dual-density midsole for superior cushioning and support.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for waterproof requirements?

The Matryx® upper offers water resistance, but the shoe is not fully waterproof. For extreme wet conditions, consider using waterproof socks or alternative footwear.

How do I determine my UK shoe size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by HOKA® or the retailer. Generally, UK sizing is used for this model, with options like UK 9.5 indicating a standard fit.

Can I use these for trail running?

While they have run-inspired flexibility and cushioning, they are primarily designed as hiking shoes. For dedicated trail running, HOKA® offers specific trail running models.

What is the main difference between the Mafate Hike and other HOKA hiking shoes?

The Mafate Hike emphasizes a blend of lightweight, running-shoe like flexibility with durable hiking-specific features like the Vibram outsole and Matryx upper, aiming for speed and agility on trails.

How do I clean the Matryx® upper?

Gently clean with a soft brush and cool water. Mild soap can be used for tougher dirt, followed by rinsing with clean water. Allow to air dry.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

They are ideal for varied hiking terrain, including rocky trails, dirt paths, and moderate inclines where grip, cushioning, and durability are essential.

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tight

Ensure the knot or securing mechanism of the quick-lace system is properly engaged. If the laces themselves are worn, consider replacing them.

Discomfort or rubbing

Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter walks before attempting long hikes.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Clean the outsole lugs of mud and debris. The Vibram Megagrip is designed for high traction, but extreme conditions may still present challenges. Ensure the shoe is intended for the specific terrain encountered.

Upper feels too loose or too tight

Utilize the quick-lacing system to achieve a custom fit. Experiment with different tension levels across the forefoot and midfoot.

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Durable and protective Matryx® upper.
  • Superior grip from Vibram Megagrip outsole.
  • Lightweight design for reduced fatigue.
  • Quick and easy lacing system.

Cons

  • May offer less ankle support than traditional high-cut hiking boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure the lacing system is adjusted to your comfort level using the quick-lace mechanism. The laces can be tucked into the integrated lace garage on the tongue for security.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male foot sizes. Suitable for a wide range of hiking activities and terrains.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
