Is the insole removable?
Yes, the HOKA Mach 5 features a removable insole, allowing for the use of custom orthotics or easy cleaning.

Can I use these for trail running?

Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort or rubbing
Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists, consider using the removable insole or trying different socks.
Reduced cushioning after extensive use
Midsole foam can compress over time. For prolonged use, consider replacing the shoes after reaching their recommended mileage lifespan (typically 300-500 miles).
Traction issues on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road use. While it offers good grip, be cautious on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
