FAQs
Is the Mafate X suitable for road running?
While it can handle occasional paved sections, it is specifically optimized for technical trail surfaces and gravel.
Does the carbon plate make the shoe stiff?
The carbon plate is designed to be propulsive but forked, allowing for some natural foot flex while maintaining energy return.
How do I clean the outsole?
Use a soft brush and water to clear dirt from the Vibram cut-outs to ensure the rubber maintains maximum grip.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are designed with a woven upper specifically to allow water to pass through and drain quickly.
Can I use custom insoles?
Yes, the stock liner can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are secured snugly to lock the foot in place, as a loose fit can impact the stability provided by the chassis.
Water not draining as expected
Check that the woven upper is free of compressed mud or grit that might be blocking the ventilation and drainage channels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you have selected your correct size based on typical athletic footwear standards. Because of the carbon plate, it is recommended to perform a few short "break-in" runs to allow the foam to adapt to your stride. To care for your Mafate X, clear any large debris or mud from the Vibram outsole after every run. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand wash them with cold water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can damage the foam properties.
