FAQs
What is the drop of the HOKA Mafate 5?
The Mafate 5 features an 8mm drop, which provides a standard balance for trail running.
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the Mafate 5 is capable of short road sections, the aggressive Vibram lugs and trail-focused geometry are optimized specifically for off-road environments.
How do I determine my size?
The HOKA Mafate 5 generally fits true to size for an adult foot, but it is recommended to account for slight foot swelling that occurs during long-distance runs.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the foam and adhesives. Always clean them by hand using a soft brush and water.
Is the Mafate 5 a neutral shoe?
Yes, the Mafate 5 is designed as a neutral trail trainer suitable for runners with a natural gait.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure the laces are tensioned evenly across the instep and check that you have enough room in the toe box for foot swelling during long efforts.
Accumulated mud reducing traction
Remove the shoes and use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the 5mm lugs of packed mud or debris after every trail session.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Mafate 5 trainers, proper care is essential. After muddy runs, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the foam integrity. If the exterior is dirty, use a soft brush and mild soap to gently remove trail grime. Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool to prevent internal friction, which is especially important during long-distance trail use. Periodically check the outsole lugs for debris or embedded rocks to maintain optimal traction.
