FAQs
Is the Mafate X suitable for road running?
While it can be used on roads, it is specifically optimized for trail terrain; the lugged outsole may wear down prematurely on harsh, abrasive road surfaces.
Does the carbon plate make the shoe feel stiff?
The forked carbon fiber plate is designed to be propulsive rather than purely rigid, providing a springy feel that encourages forward motion.
How do I clean the woven upper?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or machine drying, as these methods can degrade the specialized foam and adhesive bonds.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are designed with an ultralight woven upper that prioritizes breathability and drainage over total waterproof protection.
What is the primary use case for this shoe?
The Mafate X is ideal for long-haul efforts, including ultra-marathons, trail racing, and demanding endurance hiking.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on extremely technical, narrow trails
Ensure your lacing is secure to lock the midfoot in place and consider adjusting your gait to rely on the center-weighted stability of the dual-density foam.
Debris entering the shoe
Consider wearing trail gaiters if you are frequently running through loose scree or sandy conditions that might penetrate the breathable woven upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mafate X, it is recommended to break them in on moderate trails before attempting 50-plus mile efforts. If the shoes become soaked during use, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material damage. Because the upper is a lightweight weave, avoid using abrasive brushes for cleaning; instead, use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to gently remove trail debris. Regularly check the outsole pods for stuck rocks or pebbles to maintain peak grip performance.
