Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, verify your sizing using standard HOKA sizing guidelines, as the Mafate 5 offers a performance fit. If you intend to use the shoe for extremely muddy or debris-heavy runs, verify the compatibility of your preferred ankle gaiter with the integrated attachment points.
Care Instructions:
- Remove loose dirt after every run using a soft-bristled brush.
- If the shoes become saturated with mud, rinse gently with cool water and air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive components.
- Replace the shoes once the tread on the Vibram lugs begins to show significant wear to maintain peak traction.
