FAQs

Is the Mafate 5 suitable for road running?

While technically a trail shoe, the cushioning makes it bearable for short road transitions, but the aggressive lugs will wear down prematurely on asphalt.

Are these waterproof?

No, the Mafate 5 is designed for breathability and drainage rather than waterproofing.

Does it have a rock plate?

The midsole foam density and construction are designed to provide significant impact protection, acting as a buffer against sharp rocks.

How long should these shoes last?

Most runners get between 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of the trails and individual running gait.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the provided sockliners are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot

Try a window-lacing technique to relieve tension on the specific area of the bridge of your foot.

Outsole losing traction in mud

Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove any caked-on dirt or mud from the spaces between the traction lugs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for high-mileage comfort
  • Superior grip provided by Vibram Megagrip outsoles
  • Durable construction suitable for technical trails
  • Excellent stability features for uneven terrain

Cons

  • Heavier than minimalist trail options
  • Substantial build may reduce ground feel
  • Not intended for fast-paced, short-distance track work

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Mafate 5s, ensure the lacing system is adjusted to accommodate foot swelling that typically occurs during long runs. If utilizing the optional ankle gaiters, attach them securely before starting your run to prevent debris ingress. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, rinse with cold water and mild soap after muddy outings. Always air dry in a cool, shaded place, removing the sockliner to allow for proper airflow. Keeping the outsole free of packed mud will ensure the Vibram rubber maintains its optimal grip characteristics.
