FAQs
What is the primary advantage of the Mafate 5?
The primary advantage is its exceptional cushioning and protection, designed for long-distance comfort and stability on technical trails.
Are the Mafate 5 shoes waterproof?
The Mafate 5 features a warp knit upper with an anti-fray treatment, offering some water resistance but not full waterproofing. They are designed for breathability on trails.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to a standard UK men's shoe sizing chart. It is recommended to try on the shoes if possible, as fit can vary between brands and models.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Mafate 5 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8.00 mm.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While they can be used on roads for short distances, the Mafate 5 is specifically designed for trail running. The aggressive lugs and cushioning are optimized for off-road terrain.
What does 'Rocker Integrity Technology' do?
This technology features a reinforced MetaRocker™ that helps guide your foot through a smooth and balanced stride, especially beneficial on uneven trail surfaces.
How much do the shoes weigh?
The HOKA Mafate 5 weighs approximately 332.00 grams for a men's size.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean. Mud or debris can significantly reduce grip. Wipe the sole clean with a damp cloth.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Adjust the lacing to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. Consider the thickness of your socks. If the issue persists, the shoe's volume or shape may not be ideal for your foot.
Gaiter not staying securely attached
Verify that the gaiter is correctly attached to all designated points. Ensure the gaiter itself is in good condition and properly adjusted.
Foam feels too soft or unstable
The Mafate 5 features plush cushioning. If you prefer a firmer ride, consider a different model. Ensure the shoe is laced correctly to maximize stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Mafate 5 comes ready to wear. Ensure proper lacing for a secure fit, adjusting tightness based on terrain and personal preference. The optional gaiter can be attached using the designated points on the heel and lace area.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male runners. They are compatible with most standard running socks. The gaiter attachment points are designed for specific HOKA gaiters or similar products.
Care: To clean your Mafate 5s, remove loose dirt with a brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Periodically check the lugs for debris and clean them to maintain optimal traction.
