FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Rocker Integrity Technology?
The Rocker Integrity Technology provides a reinforced MetaRocker™ that promotes a steady, balanced ride and a smooth transition from heel to toe, especially beneficial on uneven terrain.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate 5 features a warp knit upper with an anti-fray treatment, which offers some protection against the elements and debris, but they are not fully waterproof.
How do I attach a gaiter?
The shoes have specific gaiter attachment points. You can secure an optional gaiter by using these points, typically around the heel or ankle area, to prevent debris from entering the shoe.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop for the Mafate 5 is 8.00 mm.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The weight of the HOKA Mafate 5 is approximately 332.00 grams.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While they can be used for short road sections, they are optimized for trail running. The aggressive Vibram® Megagrip lugs may wear down faster on hard surfaces and might not provide the same responsiveness as road-specific shoes.
What does 'Plush' cushioning mean?
'Plush' cushioning indicates a higher bed of soft, forgiving foam designed to absorb impact and provide a comfortable ride, particularly beneficial for long distances.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean of mud and debris. For persistent issues, consider that extreme wear on the lugs may require replacement.
Discomfort or hot spots during runs
Check lacing for even pressure distribution. Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the issue persists, experiment with different sock types or consider if the shoe's cushioning level is suitable for your preferences.
Debris entering the shoe
Utilize the gaiter attachment points to secure an optional ankle gaiter. Ensure laces are tied snugly to minimize gaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Mafate 5 comes ready to wear. Ensure a comfortable fit by lacing them appropriately, utilizing the TPU cage for a secure lockdown. If desired, attach an optional gaiter using the provided attachment points to further protect against debris.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for men's adult sizes. They are compatible with standard running socks. Ankle gaiters are optional and can be attached if needed.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Mafate 5 trainers:
- Clean the upper and outsole regularly with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Remove insoles and laces to clean them separately. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
