Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Mafate 5 is a high-performance trail running trainer designed for adult mileage chasers who demand superior cushioning and rugged protection on technical terrain. Its key strengths include an aggressive Vibram Megagrip outsole and a responsive, dual-density supercritical foam midsole that keeps feet comfortable over long distances; however, its specialized design may feel bulkier compared to lightweight racing flats.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate 5 is designed for breathability. While it features protective materials, it is not marketed as a fully waterproof shoe.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the aggressive 5mm lugs and trail-focused geometry are optimized for dirt and rock, not pavement.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The HOKA Mafate 5 weighs approximately 332g per shoe.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
This model features an 8mm drop, which is standard for most trail trainers.
How do I clean the Vibram outsole?
Use a soft brush and water to clear mud from the lugs. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber compound.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
HOKA designs are generally standard-width; however, the technical mesh provides some natural flexibility. Check sizing guides for specific volume requirements.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are tightened across the midfoot to lock the heel in place.
Debris entering the shoe
Attach the integrated ankle gaiter to create a sealed barrier against dust and trail grit.
Outsole losing grip
Check if the 5mm lugs are clogged with mud; use a brush to clear the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, ensure the shoe is laced snugly across the midfoot to prevent slippage on uneven ground. If utilizing the optional ankle gaiter, fasten it securely before beginning your trail session to prevent gaps where debris could enter. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam. Instead, remove the sockliner and clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Regularly inspect the 5mm lugs for embedded stones or debris to maintain optimal grip.
