FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While technically trail shoes, the Mafate Speed 2 can be used on roads; however, the aggressive outsole lugs will wear down faster on hard pavement.
How do I determine my size?
The Mafate Speed 2 generally fits true to size. We recommend comparing your standard trainer size to the UK sizing provided.
Are these waterproof?
The mesh upper is designed for breathability, meaning it is not waterproof. Water can pass through, but the materials are chosen to dry relatively quickly.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
What is the primary benefit of the Vibram outsole?
The Vibram Megagrip rubber compound provides significantly higher friction and durability on varied, slippery, or technical terrain compared to standard outsoles.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double knot or a runner's loop (lace lock) to increase tension and security.
Accumulation of dirt in the tread
Use a stiff brush to clear debris from the lugs of the Vibram outsole to restore maximum traction.
Fit feels slightly tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to distribute pressure more evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Mafate Speed 2 trainers, ensure that the laces are adjusted to accommodate the natural swelling of your feet during exercise. For the best fit, pair them with technical moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose mud or debris with a soft-bristled brush after each use. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid submersing the shoes in water for long periods.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration and premature breakdown of adhesives.
