Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Mafate 5 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Because of the rocker technology and foam density, spend a few shorter sessions walking or light-jogging to allow your feet to adjust to the ride.
- Gaiter Compatibility: If you frequently encounter loose scree or mud, utilize the built-in attachment points to secure an compatible ankle gaiter.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each run. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes fully.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, shaded area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the foam and glue materials.
