FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 4 features a mesh upper for breathability and is not classified as waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be worn on roads, the outsole is designed for trail traction and will wear down faster on abrasive concrete or asphalt.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
What does Litebase technology do?
Litebase technology thins the outsole weight while maintaining the same grip profile, making the shoe lighter without losing performance.
How often should I replace these shoes?
General running shoe lifespan is between 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of the trails and your personal running gait.
Troubleshooting
Feel slipping inside the shoe on descents
Adjust the lacing technique to include a runner's loop at the top eyelet to secure the heel.
Accumulation of mud in the outsole lugs
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the debris from the tread pattern after your run to maintain traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes perform optimally, ensure you have selected your correct UK sizing (11.5). Because these are trail-specific shoes, ensure the lacing system is snug to prevent internal foot slippage on steep descents. To clean your trainers, remove excess mud with a soft brush after use. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash them with mild soap and cold water—avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the foam and bonding agents. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated space out of direct sunlight.
