FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Mafate Speed 2 is designed for breathability and drainage on the trail, so it is not marketed as a waterproof shoe.

Can I use these for road running?

While technically possible, the aggressive Vibram lugs will wear down faster on pavement, and the shoe is optimized for technical terrain rather than road surfaces.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

Yes, the Active Foot Frame design provides deep-seated support that naturally accommodates various arch types.

How long do the soles last?

Longevity depends on terrain and distance, but the Vibram Mega-Grip is highly durable compared to standard rubber compounds.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, this version is offered in a unisex fit; check the specific sizing guide to ensure the conversion from UK to local sizing meets your needs.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort in the arch area

Adjust the lacing tension; the Active Foot Frame provides significant structure, so you may not need to lace as tightly as in other shoes.

Outsole losing traction in mud

Ensure the deep flex grooves are free of packed mud or debris that may reduce the surface area of the lugs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort
  • Superior traction on technical terrain via Vibram technology
  • Stable foundation for varying trail surfaces
  • Promotes a smooth natural stride transition

Cons

  • Not intended for fast-paced road running
  • May feel bulky compared to low-profile trainers
  • Less breathable than pure summer-weight mesh runners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify your sizing to account for the snug fit of the Active Foot Frame. Since this model is designed for technical use, ensure your laces are tightened securely to maintain the integrity of the foot lockdown.

Care Instructions:

  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every trail session.
  2. If mud is present, wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the materials.
  3. Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
  4. Replace the shoes once the 5mm lugs on the outsole show significant signs of wear or smoothing.
