A pinnacle product for technical trail, the Mafate 5 goes the extra mile with more cushioning and protection than ever before.
Tear up the trail worry-free with this technical upper. The warp knit is soft and breathable, swathing your foot in comfort. It allows built-up heat and vapour to escape while fresh air flows in, providing a pleasant cooling sensation. With an anti-fray treatment, the uppers ensure extreme robustness out on the trail, protecting both the shoe itself and your feet from knocks and scrapes. The stretchy, patent-pending Dynamic Vamp allows your feet plenty of room, whilst the TPU cage and traditional lacing system lock in your foot for confident strides. Gaiter attachment points allow you to attach a gaiter should you wish, sealing out dirt and debris kicked up as you speed along. Finally, reflective elements ensure visibility in low light.
The midsole of the Mafate 5 is made with a dual-layer PEBA construction, with a supercritical soft springy foam top layer and a shock-absorbing bottom layer. This allows feet to feel fresh mile after mile as shock is attenuated, protecting your joints. This energy is then converted into rebound, springing you into your next step. Rocker Integrity Technology has been integrated with a reinforced MetaRocker to tackle uneven terrain for a steady and balanced ride. For added softness and an enjoyable ride, the premium sockliner delivers step-in comfort.
Underfoot is a Vibram Megagrip outsole, designed to deliver exceptional traction and grip across various terrains. This high-performance rubber compound offers outstanding grip on both wet and dry surfaces, ensuring durability and excellent ground adaptability. The rubber effectively bonds with the ground, providing reliable traction and control as you venture off the beaten path. This is combined with Traction Lug technology, 5mm lugs bite into the ground below for advanced traction on the trail, allowing you to take on rugged terrain with ease.
