Product Information

Full details

The Hoka One One Mafate Speed 2 trainers are designed for adult female runners tackling technical trail adventures. Their key benefit is enhanced support and smooth transitions over long distances, thanks to a deep Active Foot frame and tuned Meta-Rocker. A potential caveat is their balanced cushioning, which may not suit runners seeking maximal softness. Key features include a CMEVA midsole for impact absorption, a Vibram Megagrip outsole for superior traction on varied terrain, and a no-sew SpeedFrame upper for a secure, comfortable fit.

FAQs

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

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

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While they can be used on roads for short distances, the Mafate Speed 2 is specifically designed for technical trail running and hiking. Their features, like the aggressive outsole and Meta-Rocker, are optimized for off-road performance.

How much do the Mafate Speed 2 weigh?

The weight of the Mafate Speed 2 is approximately 329g.

What type of cushioning do these shoes offer?

They feature balanced cushioning with a CMEVA midsole, designed to soften impacts without sacrificing ground feel.

Can I wear these shoes for hiking?

Yes, the Mafate Speed 2 is excellent for hiking due to its superior traction, support, and comfort on varied terrain.

How do I determine the right Hoka size?

Consult a Hoka size guide or try on shoes in person. The provided product information lists a UK 4.5 for this specific variant, but Hoka sizing can vary slightly between models.

What is the primary benefit of the Meta-Rocker?

The tuned Meta-Rocker promotes a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off, encouraging a more efficient and natural running gait, especially over long distances.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram Megagrip outsole is clean from mud or debris. For persistent issues, consider the limitations of any outsole on extremely slick surfaces.

Foot feels unstable on uneven ground.

Verify that the shoe size is correct and the lacing is snug but not overly tight. The Active Foot Frame is designed for support; ensure it is functioning as intended by wearing the correct socks and lacing technique.

Discomfort after long runs.

Check lacing and ensure it's even. If the discomfort persists, the shoe's balanced cushioning might not be sufficient for your specific needs or you may require a break-in period.

Debris entering the shoe.

While the debris screen offers protection, very fine particles might still enter. Consider using gaiters designed for trail running for enhanced protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse trail surfaces.
  • Comfortable and supportive for long-distance running.
  • Smooth ride due to the Meta-Rocker technology.
  • Durable construction for challenging terrain.
  • Secure and adaptive fit.

Cons

  • Cushioning might be perceived as less plush than maximalist options.
  • Weight may be noticeable for runners prioritizing ultralight shoes.
  • Specific colorways/sizes can have limited availability.
  • Designed primarily for trails, may not be ideal for pure road running.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Hoka One One Mafate Speed 2 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear these with technical trail running socks to further enhance comfort and moisture management.

Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for trail running and hiking. They perform best on natural surfaces such as dirt paths, gravel, rocks, and mud. While they can be used for walking or light cross-training, their aggressive outsole and construction are optimized for off-road conditions.

Care: To clean your Mafate Speed 2 trainers, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud. For more stubborn dirt, gently brush the outsole and upper with a soft brush and cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
