FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

While they feature a Vibram® Mega-Grip outsole for excellent traction, they are marketed as trainers. They can handle light trails and varied urban terrain but may not offer the specific support or durability of a dedicated hiking boot for rugged conditions.

What is the primary benefit of the CMEVA upper?

The CMEVA (Compression-molded Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) upper provides excellent shock absorption and is lightweight, contributing to overall comfort during prolonged wear.

How do I clean the orange mesh exterior?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

What does 'Speed Frame construction' mean for the fit?

Speed Frame construction refers to an internal support structure within the upper that helps to securely hold your foot, enhancing stability and providing a locked-in feel.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The Vibram® Mega-Grip outsole offers good traction on wet surfaces. However, the mesh upper is not waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wet feet.

What is the difference between this Mafate trainer and other Hoka models?

The Mafate series is known for its robust cushioning and grip, often geared towards trail running or rugged terrain. These trainers offer that same performance DNA in a versatile package suitable for everyday wear and lighter activities.

What is the warranty period for Hoka One One shoes?

Hoka One One typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Specific details can be found on the official Hoka One One website or by contacting their customer service.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear.

This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The CMEVA and Rmat® materials will soften with use.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram® Mega-Grip outsole is clean. Remove any mud, debris, or excessive wear, which can impede grip. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.

Discomfort after extended wear.

Verify you have the correct size. While cushioned, ensure the fit is not too tight or too loose. Consider the sock type being worn, as thicker socks can alter the fit.
