FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Mafate 5 is designed for breathability and drainage; they are not fully waterproof, but they are built to dry out quickly after stream crossings.

Can I use these for road running?

While wearable on road, the aggressive lugs are designed specifically for trail surfaces and will wear down much faster on concrete or asphalt.

How do I attach a gaiter?

The shoe features specific mounting points near the ankle and lower lacing; verify your gaiter model is compatible with the HOKA hook-and-loop or hook attachment style.

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to standard HOKA sizing. If you prefer extra room for long-distance foot swelling, consider a half-size larger than your casual footwear.

Are these suitable for people with wide feet?

The Mafate 5 is built with a standard performance fit. If you require extra width, please check if a specific wide-width version is available in your region.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability on side-hill trails

Ensure your laces are cinched securely using a runner's loop at the top eyelet to lock your heel into the cup.

Debris entering the shoe

Check that the gaiter attachment hardware is intact and consider using an aftermarket trail gaiter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent impact absorption on long hikes
  • Superior traction on loose or wet surfaces
  • Durable build quality for technical terrain
  • Gaiter-ready design for extra protection

Cons

  • Heavier than minimalist trail shoes
  • High stack height may feel bulky for some users
  • Not intended for paved road running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Mafate 5, ensure a proper fit by checking for a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Because of the aggressive lug pattern, these shoes are best suited for off-road environments rather than hard pavement, which can cause premature wear on the rubber. To clean, remove loose mud with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent foam degradation. If you frequently encounter sandy or loose rock, utilize the gaiter attachment points to keep the interior of your shoe clear.
