FAQs
Is the HOKA Mafate Speed 2 XLIM suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, it retains the core performance features of the standard Mafate Speed 2, designed for endurance and comfort on varied terrain.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the materials are durable and capable of handling environmental exposure, they are not marketed as waterproof.
Does the burnished aesthetic wear off over time?
The finish is designed to reflect the 'passage of time,' meaning it may develop a unique patina with extended wear, which is part of the intended design.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required for extra support.
What does the collaboration with XLIM change?
The collaboration primarily focuses on the visual identity, color palettes, and thematic elements of the shoe while maintaining HOKA's high technical standards.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty determining the correct size
Consult the brand-specific size chart to compare UK sizes with your standard fit, as HOKA sizing can sometimes run slightly different than lifestyle brands.
Accumulation of mud or debris in the treads
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the outsole after trail use to ensure consistent traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are selecting the correct size as indicated by the UK adult sizing system. These trainers are unisex, so verify your conversion if coming from different sizing standards. To care for your Mafate Speed 2 XLIM, avoid machine washing, which can damage the specialized burnished finish. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the integrity of the materials and the unique finish. Always store them in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation.
