FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Mafate Speed 2?
The Mafate Speed 2 is primarily designed for long-distance trail running and hiking on technical and varied terrain.
How does the Meta-Rocker technology benefit the runner?

Is the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole suitable for wet conditions?
Yes, the Vibram Mega-Grip compound offers excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces, making it reliable in varied weather.
How should I clean my Mafate Speed 2 shoes?

Will these shoes provide enough cushioning for ultras?
Yes, the deep cushioning and supportive Active Foot Frame are engineered to provide comfort and protection over very long distances.
Can I use these shoes for road running?

Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely. Consider using a double knot or replacing them with specialized trail running laces that offer better grip.
Slight discomfort on initial wear
Break in the shoes with shorter walks or runs before embarking on long distances. Ensure the lacing provides a secure but not overly tight fit.
Reduced grip on extremely muddy surfaces
While the Vibram Mega-Grip is versatile, exceptionally slick mud may challenge any tread. Clean the outsole grooves periodically to maintain optimal traction.
