Yes, the Mafate 5 features a Vibram Megagrip outsole with aggressive lugs designed specifically to maintain traction on wet and loose terrain.
While technically usable on roads, the aggressive lugs are designed for trails and will wear down much faster on hard asphalt or concrete surfaces.
This design helps propel you forward and encourages a smooth transition from heel to toe, which reduces the effort required during long-distance runs.
The shoes are designed to be compatible with standard ankle gaiters; check for specific attachment points on the heel and tongue areas as per your gaiter's design.
It is generally recommended to account for foot expansion during long runs; many trail runners prefer a half-size larger than their everyday casual shoe size.
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase lockdown at the heel and prevent forward sliding.
Use a specialized shoe brush or a dull plastic tool to gently remove debris from the lug patterns after wet runs to maintain grip.
To maximize the life of your HOKA Mafate 5 trainers, ensure a proper fit by allowing enough room in the toe box for foot swelling during long runs.
