FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Mafate Speed 2 TS are designed with a standard width. While the polyester upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
After use, gently brush off loose dirt. For tougher mud, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and allow them to air dry completely.
Can I use these for everyday walking?
While the cushioning is comfortable, the Mafate Speed 2 TS are primarily designed for trail performance. They might feel more substantial than typical walking shoes for casual use.
What is the main advantage of the Mafate Speed 2 series?
The Mafate Speed 2 series is known for its exceptional cushioning and durable, aggressive traction, making it ideal for long distances on challenging and technical terrain.
Is the polyester upper waterproof?
No, the polyester upper is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It allows for breathability but will absorb water in prolonged wet conditions.
What UK shoe size is this specific model?
This specific model is a UK size 5.5.
Troubleshooting
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber sole is clean of mud and debris. For enhanced grip on very slick surfaces, consider trails with less moisture or adjust your pace.
Feet feel fatigued after a long hike.
Verify the lacing is appropriate for your foot width and the terrain. Ensure you are using the correct sock thickness. For prolonged hikes, allow for breaks and consider if the shoe's cushioning meets your specific needs.
Upper material feels stiff.
The polyester upper is designed for durability and protection. Wear the shoes on shorter walks to break them in gradually. Stiffness is expected to decrease with use.
Water seeps through the upper.
The polyester upper is not waterproof. For wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray designed for footwear or opt for waterproof-specific hiking boots. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize water entry.
