Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the Hoka Mafate 5 with moisture-wicking socks and consider using gaiters for added debris protection. This shoe runs true to size for most runners; if between sizes, we recommend sizing up for thicker socks. Break in gradually on moderate trails before tackling extreme terrain.
