FAQs

What type of terrain is the Mafate Speed 2 best for?

The Mafate Speed 2 is specifically designed for technical trail terrain, including rocky paths, steep ascents and descents, and varied natural surfaces.

How does the Meta-Rocker technology work?

The Meta-Rocker is a design feature with a rocker shape built into the midsole. It encourages a forward-rolling motion, helping to promote a smoother and more efficient gait cycle, reducing fatigue over long distances.

Is the Mafate Speed 2 waterproof?

No, the Mafate Speed 2 is not waterproof. It features a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, which means it will not keep water out in wet conditions.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on this shoe?

The Mafate Speed 2 has a 4mm heel-to-toe drop.

How do I clean the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole?

The Vibram Mega-Grip outsole can be cleaned with a soft brush and water to remove mud and debris. Ensure it's dry before next use for optimal grip.

Can I use these shoes for everyday casual wear?

While comfortable, these are performance trail running shoes. For everyday casual wear, you might find the aggressive tread and supportive structure less suitable for prolonged walking on hard, flat surfaces.

What is the weight of the Mafate Speed 2?

The weight is approximately 1 kg, which is a substantial weight for a running shoe, reflecting its robust construction for trail durability and support.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, ensure the heel is properly seated and tighten the laces, paying attention to the midfoot and forefoot lockdown. Consider if the shoe size is correct for your foot shape.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

Ensure the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is clean of mud and debris. For significantly wet conditions, proceed with caution as even the best grip has limitations.

Discomfort during long runs

Verify the lacing for even pressure distribution. Ensure the shoe is the correct size and width for your foot. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Mesh upper feels hot

Ensure socks are breathable and moisture-wicking. In very hot conditions, the shoe's breathability is optimized but may still feel warm. Consider running during cooler parts of the day.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Superior traction on challenging terrain.
  • Stable and supportive for technical trails.
  • Durable construction for rugged use.
  • Lightweight design despite robust features.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • The fit might be too roomy for narrow feet.
  • Water resistance is limited due to the breathable mesh construction.
  • Higher price point compared to standard running shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Mafate Speed 2 requires no special setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. Ensure the laces are securely tied to take full advantage of the Speed Frame and heel counter for optimal support.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for men and are best suited for adult runners. They are compatible with standard running socks. While not designed for road running, they can be used for short transitions on pavement.

Care: To care for your Mafate Speed 2 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can warp the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
