Troubleshooting
Visible debris inside the shoe mesh

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure you select your standard HOKA sizing, as the internal dimensions remain consistent with the broader Mafate lineage. Since the upper material is semi-transparent, consider pairing these with neutral or color-coordinated performance socks to match your personal style. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing or drying. Instead, spot clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the specialized lightweight upper materials.
