FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 2 is designed for breathability. While they handle wet terrain well, they are not classified as waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While you can use them on roads, the aggressive tread is optimized for trails and may wear down faster on hard, abrasive surfaces.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a mild soap and a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior surfaces; do not submerge the shoes completely.
Are these unisex?
Yes, this series is designed to be versatile and is offered in various sizes suitable for all genders.
Do I need to break them in?
While the shoes provide immediate comfort, it is recommended to take a few short walks or light runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Adjust your lacing technique to a runner's knot to better secure the heel.
Mud accumulation in the lugs
Once the mud has dried, use a stiff-bristled brush to knock out debris from the outsole.
Insole becomes uncomfortable
Remove the insole, shake out any hidden debris, and ensure it is placed flat inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mafate Speed 2 trainers maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you have a thumbs-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long activities.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets effectively to lock your heel in place; ensure the tongue is centered before tightening to avoid pressure points.
- Cleaning: Hand wash your shoes with cold water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive materials.
- Drying: Air dry only. Remove the insole and stuff the shoes with newspaper to help them retain their shape while drying away from direct heat sources like radiators.
