Fit and Sizing
The Hoka Mafate 5 has a generous fit typical of the Hoka brand. Those with narrow feet might consider half a size down. Compared to the Hoka Torrent 4, the Mafate 5 offers greater cushioning and protection for ultra-distances. Compared to the Salomon Speedcross, the Vibram Megagrip outsole ensures superior grip on wet and rocky terrain.
Remove mud and debris after each outing with cold water and a soft brush. Air dry naturally away from heat sources, remove the insole for aeration. Store in a dry, ventilated place, avoid direct sun exposure to preserve the CMEVA midsole.
