FAQs
Is the Mafate Speed 2 suitable for hiking?
Yes, the Mafate Speed 2 offers excellent support and cushioning, making it a capable shoe for hiking, especially on rugged or long-distance trails.
How does the Meta-Rocker work?
The Meta-Rocker is a geometry designed to encourage a rolling motion from heel-strike to toe-off, promoting a more efficient and smooth gait cycle, especially beneficial on trails.
What is Vibram Mega-Grip?
Vibram Mega-Grip is a high-performance rubber compound known for its exceptional grip in both wet and dry conditions, offering superior traction on challenging surfaces.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to try them on if possible. Trail running shoes should offer enough room in the toe box for foot splay without being loose. Consult the Hoka One One sizing chart for guidance.
Can I use these shoes for daily training?
While they offer excellent cushioning, their design is optimized for technical trails. For daily road running, you might prefer a shoe with a different sole profile and cushioning setup.
How long should I expect them to last?
Durability varies based on usage intensity, terrain, and individual biomechanics. However, the Mafate Speed 2 is built with robust materials to withstand many miles of trail running.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 2 is not a waterproof shoe. It is designed with breathable materials for ventilation on trails. For waterproof needs, look for Gore-Tex versions if available.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on slick surfaces
Ensure the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole is clean. Small debris lodged in the lugs can impact grip. Rinse the outsole with water.
Foot feels unstable on uneven ground
Check the lacing to ensure a secure, locked-in fit. The Active Foot Frame is designed for stability, but proper lacing is crucial.
Cushioning feels too firm or too soft
Footwear feel is subjective and can be influenced by sock choice and terrain. Break-in period may be required. For ultramarathons, the cushioning is designed for sustained comfort.
Shoes retain moisture
Allow shoes to air dry thoroughly after each use. Consider using moisture-wicking socks. Ensure you are not using harsh cleaning agents that might affect water resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Mafate Speed 2 is ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable, secure fit. Lacing should be snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot expansion during long efforts.
Compatibility: This shoe is designed for trail running and is compatible with most standard trail conditions. It is not optimized for road running due to its aggressive tread and cushioning.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
