Product Information

Full details

The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 Trainers are designed for adult trail runners seeking high-cushion support and aggressive traction on challenging terrain. Their key benefit is providing stable, confident footing across varied surfaces thanks to a combination of Cmeva cushioning and a Vibram Mega Grip outsole. A potential caveat is that the sizing is based on EU standards, so careful attention to conversion is needed for UK users.

FAQs

How do I convert EU sizing to UK sizing for these shoes?

Hoka uses EU sizing. For example, a UK 5 typically corresponds to an EU 38. It is best to consult a Hoka size chart for the most accurate conversion.

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While they offer cushioning, they are specifically designed for trail running. The aggressive outsole may wear down quickly on pavement and provide less optimal grip on hard, flat surfaces compared to road shoes.

What is the primary benefit of the Vibram Mega Grip outsole?

The Vibram Mega Grip outsole provides exceptional multi-directional grip and traction on both wet and dry surfaces, enhancing stability and confidence on challenging terrain.

How do I clean mud from the shoes?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove excess mud. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water. Allow to air dry.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Mafate Speed 2?

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

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Yes, the synthetic and textile upper offers some protection. However, they are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or gaiters.

What does 'Meta-Rocker' geometry mean?

Meta-Rocker geometry refers to the curved sole design that creates a rolling effect, aiding forward momentum and a smoother transition through your stride.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight/loose

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you have selected the correct size, paying attention to EU sizing conversions. If issues persist, consider the fit of the specific width.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any packed dirt or debris. Note that Vibram Mega Grip performs best on dry to damp conditions; extremely wet or slick surfaces may require more caution.

Discomfort during runs

Ensure socks are appropriate for trail running. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs. Verify the fit, as the cushioning and structure are designed for a specific feel.

Debris entering the shoe

Check that the laces are tied securely and the tongue is positioned correctly. The integrated monomesh screen should minimize debris entry, but very fine dust or specific trail conditions might still allow some ingress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse trail conditions.
  • Superior cushioning for comfort during extended use.
  • Stable platform for confident technical running.
  • Effective debris protection keeps feet clean.
  • Durable construction for rugged trails.

Cons

  • EU sizing may require conversion for accurate fit.
  • Higher stack height might not suit all running styles.
  • May be too cushioned for runners preferring a more minimalist feel.
  • Vibram outsole can be less effective on very wet, slick surfaces compared to specialized rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to use right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size, noting the EU sizing convention. The lace closure allows for a customizable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for trail running and hiking. They perform best on varied natural terrain including dirt, rock, mud, and gravel.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is lodged in the outsole lugs.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
