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.
