Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you are wearing the technical socks you intend to use for your runs when sizing your Mafate 5. Since these are high-mileage shoes, ensure the laces are secure but not restrictive to allow for natural foot swelling during long runs. For care, avoid machine washing or drying. After muddy or wet outings, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces. Use a soft brush to knock off caked-on dirt from the lug patterns once the mud has dried, which helps maintain the traction integrity of the Vibram rubber.
