Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate 5 is built for high-performance trail use but does not feature a dedicated waterproof membrane; it is designed to be breathable.
Can I use these for road running?
While wearable on roads, the aggressive lug pattern is specifically designed for trail surfaces and will wear down prematurely on asphalt.
How do I attach a gaiter?
The shoe includes dedicated attachment points designed for compatible HOKA or universal trail gaiters.
What is the best way to clean the soles?
Use a soft-bristled brush and lukewarm water to dislodge debris from the Vibram lugs after your hike.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
HOKA shoes generally offer a generous fit, but it is recommended to ensure the sizing aligns with your standard UK measurements.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure your laces are tightened securely through the midfoot to prevent internal sliding.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Attach a compatible ankle gaiter to the provided integration points to seal out trail debris.
Loss of traction over time
Clean the lugs thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove compacted dirt and mud that may be obscuring the grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best experience, ensure you have the correct UK size (this variant is 13.5). While the shoes are ready to wear, consider breaking them in on shorter hikes before taking on longer expeditions. If you are traversing areas with loose shale or sand, the ankle gaiter compatibility is a key feature to utilize for keeping debris out of the shoe. To maintain the life of the footwear, wipe off mud after every hike using a soft brush and water; avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the integrity of the foam components.
