Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The HOKA Mafate 5 Trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The shoes feature integrated gaiter attachment points; if you plan to use gaiters, simply attach them according to their manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility:
These trainers are designed for male runners of adult size. While they are compatible with standard running socks, using moisture-wicking socks is recommended for optimal comfort and hygiene. The optional gaiter attachment is designed to work with most standard trail running gaiters.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: After use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove mud and dirt from the midsole and outsole.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during the drying process.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before long-term storage.
