Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water effectively to keep your feet dry, but it is not fully submersible like a Gore-Tex membrane.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the Vibram Megagrip outsole is optimized for soft trails and may wear down faster on asphalt.
How should I clean my HOKA Mafate Hike shoes?
Gently hand wash with a mild soap and cold water. Remove insoles separately and air dry.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
HOKA designs often have a secure fit; if you generally require wide shoes, ensure you check the specific width profile before purchase.
What is the best way to store these long-term?
Keep them in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent foam degradation.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after a few miles
Check your lacing tension; the dynamic vamp performs best when the laces are snug but not restricting circulation.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft brush to clear out small stones or mud from the deep lugs to maintain maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan, verify that you have the correct UK size, as the Mafate Hike features a performance fit. When new, wear them around the house or on short walks to allow the dual-density midsole to adapt to your foot. After muddy or dusty outings, remove the insole and wipe the interior with a damp cloth. The hydrophobic upper should be air-dried away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, to prevent material damage. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and foam components.
