FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Mafate 5 is designed for breathability and drainage on the trail and is not marketed as a waterproof shoe.

Can I use these for road running?

While technically a trail shoe, they can be worn on roads, but the aggressive Vibram lugs will wear down faster on pavement.

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 on long hikes.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.

How long will the Vibram Megagrip last?

Durability depends on the terrain; however, they are industry-leading for longevity in technical trail environments.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe on descents

Adjust your lacing pattern using the 'runner's loop' or heel-lock method to secure the midfoot better.

Excessive dirt building up inside the shoe

Consider purchasing a compatible ankle gaiter to prevent debris from entering over the collar.

Foam feeling stiff out of the box

This is normal for high-density trail foam; take the shoes on shorter 3-5 mile hikes to break in the rocker profile.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance comfort
  • High-traction Vibram Megagrip outsole
  • Enhanced stability on technical terrain
  • Effective debris protection options

Cons

  • Heavier profile compared to speed-oriented trail shoes
  • May feel less responsive on flat, paved paths
  • Specific gait-focused design may require a break-in period

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your Mafate 5s, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: Wear them for short walks before committing to a full-day, high-mileage hike to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
  2. Gaiter Compatibility: If hiking in sand or dense brush, attach an ankle gaiter to the designated points to seal the top of the shoe.
  3. Cleaning: Remove loose mud with a soft brush after each hike. If necessary, clean with cool water and a mild soap; avoid soaking the foam for extended periods.
  4. Drying: Air dry only in a cool, shaded area. Never use a tumble dryer or direct heat, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning foam.
