Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While technically designed for trails, they can be worn on roads, but the deep lugs will wear down faster on abrasive asphalt surfaces.
Do these provide arch support?
Yes, the Active Foot Frame design provides a stable, cradling effect that offers structural support for the arch and heel.
How do I determine my size?
The Mafate Speed 2 follows standard UK sizing conventions. Refer to the size guide for a 1:1 match to your usual athletic shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand wash them using cool water and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the materials.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram sole?
The Vibram Mega-Grip provides superior friction and durability, allowing for confidence on wet or technical surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe during descents
Ensure the laces are tensioned properly across the midfoot and consider using a 'runner's knot' or heel-lock lacing technique.
Outsole losing grip on mud
Clean the 5mm tread grooves thoroughly to ensure dirt and debris are not obstructing the lug pattern.
Stiff sensation when new
The shoe may require a short break-in period of 10-20 miles to allow the midsole foam and upper materials to conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure you select your correct UK size, as the Mafate Speed 2 provides a structured, locked-in fit that should be verified before extended use. To care for these trainers, remove excess mud or debris after every run using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become soaked or heavily soiled, rinse them with cool water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, which can damage the cushioning materials.
