FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Rocker Integrity Technology?

The Rocker Integrity Technology features a reinforced MetaRocker™ which helps provide a steady, balanced, and smoother ride over uneven terrain.

Are gaiters included with the Mafate 5?

No, gaiters are not included but the shoes feature specific attachment points to easily integrate optional gaiters for added protection.

What type of terrain is the Mafate 5 best suited for?

The Mafate 5 is ideal for technical trails, offering aggressive traction and protection suitable for long-distance running and challenging off-road conditions.

How much cushioning does the Mafate 5 offer?

It features a plush, dual-density midsole with a soft foam top layer and impact-absorbing foam near the sole, designed for a high level of cushioning.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Mafate 5?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8.00 mm.

Is this shoe suitable for runners who need a lot of stability?

The Mafate 5 is designed with a neutral stability, meaning it provides a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive stability features. It aims to provide support without overcorrection.

How should I clean my Mafate 5 trainers?

Brush off loose dirt, then use a damp cloth or soft brush with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents and machine washing. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean from mud or debris. For optimal grip, avoid surfaces with oil or extreme slime.

Discomfort during long runs.

Verify the lacing is appropriate – not too tight or too loose. Ensure the shoe size is correct, allowing enough room in the toe box.

Debris entering the shoe.

Utilize the integrated gaiter attachment points to secure an optional gaiter, creating a seal around the ankle.

Upper material showing wear.

The warp knit upper has an anti-fray treatment, but avoid excessive abrasion against sharp rocks or branches. Clean gently as per care instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Superior traction on technical and varied trail surfaces.
  • Enhanced stability for a balanced ride on uneven terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Mafate 5 is ready to use out of the box. For enhanced protection against debris, consider attaching an optional gaiter using the provided attachment points. Ensure the shoe fits snugly but comfortably before heading out.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for adult male runners and hikers. The neutral stability means it accommodates a wide range of foot strikes. Compatible with most standard trail running socks. Gaiters sold separately.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
