FAQs
Is the Mafate X suitable for road running?
While it can handle occasional pavement, it is specifically designed for trails and will wear down faster if used primarily on hard road surfaces.
How does the carbon plate affect the ride?
The carbon plate provides a stiff, responsive propulsive feel that helps transition through the gait cycle more efficiently than traditional foam-only shoes.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are designed with a woven upper specifically to allow water to drain quickly, rather than keeping it out.
How should I clean my Mafate X shoes?
Hand wash with a mild detergent and cool water. Air dry naturally and avoid putting them in a washing machine or dryer.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the factory insoles can be removed to accommodate your own custom orthotics.
Does the sizing run true to size?
The Mafate X generally follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the toe for downhill comfort.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure your laces are properly tensioned, particularly through the midfoot, to secure the shoe against the foot.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
The open-weave upper is designed for drainage; consider pairing with lightweight gaiters if running through very fine silt or sand.
Foam feeling hard in cold temperatures
PEBA-based foams can firm up in freezing conditions. Allow the shoes to sit in a room-temperature environment before use to regain full plushness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Mafate X features a high-performance fit, ensure you select your correct size to avoid blistering on long excursions. Since the upper is designed for drainage, the material is breathable and thin; avoid using harsh abrasive brushes during cleaning to preserve the weave. After muddy runs, rinse the exterior with cool water and air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the PEBA foam. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insoles are removable to accommodate different volume requirements.
