Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors before taking them on long trail runs to allow the microfiber collar to mold to your ankle.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush and mild soap to spot-clean the nylon upper. Do not machine wash, as the heat and agitation can degrade the adhesive bonds and the transparent upper material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the nylon and midsole foams to degrade prematurely.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit standard adult UK sizing; however, if you plan to wear thick, cushioned wool socks for trail running, consider the internal volume of the shoe to ensure a secure fit.
