Full details

The HOKA Mafate Speed 2 TS hiking shoes are designed for adult trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a blend of high-performance cushioning, superior grip, and technical outdoor features. The key benefit is enhanced comfort and stability on varied terrains, supported by HOKA's signature MetaRocker technology.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for waterproof needs?

The HOKA Mafate Speed 2 TS features a mesh and synthetic upper which offers breathability, but it is not inherently waterproof. For waterproof requirements, consider models with a Gore-Tex lining if available.

What is the primary difference between this and other HOKA models?

The Mafate Speed 2 TS is specifically engineered for aggressive trail running and hiking, featuring the Vibram Megagrip outsole for superior traction and a robust, cushioned midsole tailored for rugged terrain.

How do I choose the right size?

We recommend consulting HOKA's official sizing chart. It's also advisable to try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for hiking or trail running to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I use these for everyday casual wear?

Yes, their comfortable cushioning and distinctive design make them suitable for casual wear, though they are optimized for performance on trails.

What is the expected lifespan of the outsole?

The lifespan of the Vibram Megagrip outsole depends heavily on usage, terrain, and care. With regular trail use and proper maintenance, it is designed for durability, but consistent wear on abrasive surfaces will eventually reduce tread depth.

Is the cushioning too soft for stability?

HOKA is known for its maximalist cushioning, which provides a comfortable ride. The Mafate Speed 2 TS is designed to offer stability through its geometry and outsole design, but individuals seeking a very firm, ground-feel shoe might find them quite soft.

Troubleshooting

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram Megagrip outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. If the shoe is new, it may take a few uses for the outsole to reach its optimal grip.

Feet feel fatigued after long runs.

While the shoes offer significant cushioning, ensure they are the correct size and fit for your feet. Consider using aftermarket insoles if you require additional support or a different fit profile.

Upper material feels restrictive.

The mesh and synthetic upper is designed for durability. If it feels stiff, wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • Superior grip on various trail surfaces.
  • Smooth ride due to MetaRocker technology.
  • Durable and breathable materials.
  • Increased safety with reflective detailing.

Cons

  • Low-cut collar may offer less ankle support for some users.
  • May be too cushioned for those preferring a minimalist feel.
  • Primarily designed for trail running, may not be ideal for technical scrambling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box, requiring no specific setup. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. To care for your Mafate Speed 2 TS shoes, we recommend the following:

  1. Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
