FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Hike features a hydrophobic upper designed to repel water and handle damp conditions, though they are not marketed as fully submersible waterproof boots.
Can I use these for road running?
While they are comfortable due to the cushioning, the Vibram Megagrip outsole is optimized for trails and may wear down faster on abrasive concrete or asphalt.
How should I clean my HOKA hiking shoes?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt, and wipe down the upper with a damp cloth. Never put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer.
Do these shoes come with a removable insole?
Yes, the HOKA Mafate Hike features a removable insole, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Are they true to size?
HOKA shoes generally follow standard sizing; however, since hiking often involves thicker socks, many users prefer a half-size larger than their casual footwear.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or hot spots during long hikes
Ensure your lacing is not too tight at the bridge of the foot and consider swapping to a specialized hiking sock to manage moisture.
Loss of traction on mud-caked trails
Use a soft brush to clear packed mud from the lugs of the Vibram outsole; once the rubber pattern is clear, grip will return to its optimal level.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent traction on technical trails via Vibram outsole
- Signature high-rebound HOKA cushioning reduces joint fatigue
- Water-repellent upper material for protection in changing weather
- Secure ankle fit reduces slippage on steep descents
Cons
- Requires a brief break-in period to soften the upper material
- Less breathable than pure mesh lightweight trail runners
- Specifically tuned for hiking, which may feel different than pure road-running shoes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, verify that your HOKA Mafate Hike shoes are properly laced to utilize the ARIAPRENE collar for maximum stability. As these are outdoor performance shoes, keep the exterior clean by brushing off mud and debris after every hike to maintain the water-repellent properties of the upper. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can compromise the midsole material. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew from forming on the technical fabrics.
