HOKA Mafate Hike Hiking Shoes - Green - Yellow - Size 10

The Mafate Hike features a hydrophobic upper designed to repel moisture and breathe, but they are not fully waterproof like a GORE-TEX membrane shoe.

While they utilize running-inspired flexibility, the aggressive Vibram Megagrip outsole is optimized for trails and will wear down prematurely on pavement.

HOKA sizes generally run true to standard athletic sizing, though we recommend leaving a thumb's width of space at the front for hiking comfort.

Avoid leaving the shoes in high-heat environments like a car trunk, as heat can break down the EVA foam midsole more rapidly.

The Mafate Hike offers a accommodating fit, but users with very wide feet may prefer to consult specific wide-width options if available.

Adjust the lacing pattern to be tighter across the midfoot or use the final eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.

Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the Vibram lugs after the shoes have dried to maintain maximum grip for the next outing.

If the hydrophobic properties diminish, apply a technical gear-safe water-repellent spray specifically designed for synthetic hiking uppers.
