FAQs

Is the Mafate 5 waterproof?

The Mafate 5 is designed for breathability and drainage on the trail; it is not classified as waterproof.

Can I use these for road running?

While technically capable, the aggressive Vibram lugs are optimized for trail surfaces and will wear down faster on asphalt.

How do I choose the right size?

We recommend choosing your standard UK adult shoe size, keeping in mind that trail shoes often benefit from a half-size of extra room for foot swelling during long hikes.

What is the primary difference between the Mafate 5 and regular trainers?

The Mafate 5 features higher-grade protective materials, a more aggressive traction system, and specialized rocker geometry for technical trail performance.

Does this shoe come with gaiters included?

No, the Mafate 5 is designed to be compatible with optional ankle gaiters, which must be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability on extremely uneven ground

Ensure the laces are secured snugly to prevent foot shifting inside the shoe; consider using a heel-lock lacing technique.

Accumulation of debris inside the shoe

Install a compatible ankle gaiter to close the gap between the shoe collar and your ankle.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Clean the outsole lugs thoroughly with a brush to remove caked-on mud or organic matter that clogs the tread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on technical terrain via Vibram Megagrip
  • High level of impact protection for long hikes
  • Stable ride thanks to specialized rocker geometry
  • Highly durable materials suitable for high-mileage users

Cons

  • Heavier feel compared to lightweight speed-trail shoes
  • Increased bulk might not be ideal for short, flat walks
  • Requires a break-in period to maximize midsole efficiency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, confirm your size according to standard UK adult measurements before use. The Mafate 5 is compatible with most aftermarket trail gaiters if you require extra debris protection. To maintain the shoes, remove heavy dirt and mud after each use using a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary—never use a washing machine or dryer, as heat can compromise the cushioning foam and adhesive. Always air dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight.
