FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking as well as running?

Yes, the HOKA Mafate Speed 2 Trainers are designed for trail running and offer robust support and cushioning that also makes them suitable for hiking on varied terrain.

How do I determine the correct size?

It is recommended to refer to HOKA's official size chart and measure your foot. Many users find HOKA shoes fit true to size, but personal preference and foot shape can vary.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The trainers offer some protection against wetness, but they are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or gaiters.

How often should I replace my Mafate Speed 2 trainers?

The lifespan of running shoes varies depending on usage intensity, terrain, and individual biomechanics. Typically, trail running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles or when cushioning feels significantly diminished and wear on the outsole is noticeable.

Are the reflective elements durable?

Yes, the reflective accents are integrated into the design and are generally durable with proper care. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could damage them.

What makes the Mafate Speed 2 different from other HOKA models?

The Mafate Speed 2 is specifically designed for demanding trail conditions, featuring enhanced durability, grip, and protection compared to road-focused models. It embodies HOKA's maximalist cushioning philosophy tailored for off-road adventures.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or unusual pressure points

Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly. If new to HOKA cushioning, allow for a break-in period of a few runs. Consider using different thickness socks.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces

Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean it. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the specific terrain; consider if the trail is excessively muddy or wet for the tread pattern.

Material showing wear after moderate use

Inspect for any cuts or abrasions. While durable, extreme trail conditions can cause wear. Ensure proper cleaning and drying to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box, requiring no special setup. They are compatible with standard running socks and suitable for use on trails, roads, and mixed terrain.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Wipe down the leather and synthetic materials with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Do not 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. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
