FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The HOKA Mafate trainers are designed for breathability and comfort on the trail; they do not feature a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for road running?
While you can technically run on roads, the tread and structure are optimized for off-road trails and will wear down faster on hard pavement.
How do I determine if size 5 is right for me?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
How often should I replace my trail shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace trail trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of your usage and the roughness of the terrain.
Can I wash them in a machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash HOKA trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam and adhesives. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure you are using the correct size and that the laces are adjusted to provide a secure but not restrictive fit.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider using gaiters when running on loose gravel or sandy trails to prevent trail debris from entering.
Soles appearing worn on pavement
Limit use on asphalt or concrete surfaces, as the specialized tread is designed for soft, natural ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Mafate trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential.
- Initial Fit: Ensure you wear the specific socks you intend to use for training when testing the fit to account for volume.
- Cleaning: After trail use, remove loose dirt by tapping the soles together or using a soft-bristled brush.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, remove the insoles and let them air dry in a cool, ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or high-heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the foam midsole.
