Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance and longevity of your HOKA Mafate 5 Trail Shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure a proper fit by trying the shoes on. There should be ample room in the toe box to prevent discomfort during long runs.
- Break-in Period: Allow a short break-in period on shorter runs to acclimate to the shoe's feel.
- Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running; avoid using them excessively on paved roads to preserve the outsole.
- Cleaning: After each run, remove any dirt or debris. Clean the shoes with a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.
- Gaiter Attachment: If using a gaiter, attach it securely to the designated points on the upper to prevent debris from entering the shoe.
