FAQs
What kind of terrain is this shoe best suited for?
The HOKA Mafate X is best suited for technical trail running, including gravel, rocky sections, and hard-packed surfaces.
How should I clean my HOKA Mafate X trail shoes?
Clean the upper with a soft brush and mild soap. Rinse off any dirt and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
What is the purpose of the carbon fiber plate?
The carbon fiber plate adds propulsive energy return, helping to maintain pace and efficiency on long runs.
What is the benefit of the Vibram Megagrip outsole?
The Vibram Megagrip outsole provides excellent traction across various trail surfaces, ensuring a secure grip.
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the Mafate X can be used on roads, it's designed specifically for trails, and the aggressive lugs may wear down more quickly on pavement.
What is the Active Foot Frame?
The Active Foot Frame is designed to place your foot within, rather than upon, the shoe for improved comfort, fit, and control.
What type of cushioning is used in the midsole?
The midsole uses a dual-density system with a PEBA foam core on the top layer and a super-critical formed EVA carrier foam below.
Troubleshooting
Poor traction on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean. If the issue persists, consider the type of terrain and whether the lugs are worn.
Discomfort or rubbing in certain areas.
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Consider using different socks to improve comfort.
Shoe feels too stiff.
Allow for a break-in period, as the shoe may require some time to conform to the foot. Try running on varied surfaces to help with flexibility.
