Full details

Featuring advanced foam technology and an aggressive outsole, it provides excellent impact protection for high-mileage efforts; however, its specialized design may feel bulkier than traditional, lightweight trail racers.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Mafate 5 is built for maximum breathability and drainage on the trail and does not feature a waterproof membrane.

Can I wear these for road running?

While you can, the aggressive Vibram Megagrip lugs are specifically optimized for trails and will wear down prematurely on asphalt.

How do I know if the fit is correct?

You should have about a thumb's width of space in the toe box to account for foot swelling during long-distance efforts.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the stock insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer as these can break down the adhesives.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability on uneven ground

Ensure the laces are snugged correctly to secure the midfoot; the high-stack height requires a locked-in fit.

Debris getting into the shoe

Attach an compatible ankle gaiter to the integrated gaiter points to seal off the ankle collar.

Foam feeling hard after storage

Allow the shoe to reach room temperature before use, as the specialized foams can stiffen in cold conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact absorption for high-mileage comfort
  • Excellent traction on technical and uneven surfaces
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged trails
  • Smooth ride transition via rocker geometry

Cons

  • Higher profile may feel less nimble on extremely technical ground
  • Bulkier design compared to minimalist trail shoes
  • Aggressive lugs can wear faster on paved surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Mafate 5 shoes, remove excess mud and debris after every use with a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become heavily saturated, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the foam cushioning. If using the gaiter system, ensure the attachment points are free of dirt before securing your gaiters to ensure a snug, debris-proof seal. Check the outsole lugs periodically for wear, especially if you frequently transition between trails and road sections.
