FAQs
Are the HOKA ONE ONE Mafate Speed 2 suitable for road running?
These shoes are specifically designed for technical trail running. While they can be used on roads for short distances, the aggressive outsole may wear down quickly and provide less comfort than road-specific shoes.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to HOKA's official sizing guide and measure your foot. Trail running shoes often benefit from a slightly more generous fit to accommodate foot swelling on long runs.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics or different insoles if desired, provided they fit the shoe's interior volume.
What is the expected lifespan of the shoes?
The lifespan varies based on mileage, terrain, and running style. For regular trail running, expect to replace them between 300-500 miles.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 2 features a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation and quick drainage rather than full waterproofing.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Mafate Speed 2 has a 4mm heel-to-toe drop.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels less effective
Ensure the Vibram outsole is free from mud, dirt, or debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly.
Feet feel too warm
Ensure socks are moisture-wicking. The breathable mesh offers good ventilation, but sock choice can impact comfort.
Laces come undone during runs
Try double-knotting the laces or replacing them with specialized trail running laces that offer better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Mafate Speed 2 requires no specific setup. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness for a secure fit before each run.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running and are compatible with most types of running socks. They are not intended for road running or everyday casual wear where aggressive traction is not needed.
Care:
- Clean the shoes after each use by removing loose dirt with a soft brush.
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
