Product Information
Full details
The Hoka One One Mafate Speed 2 Trainers are designed for adult trail runners seeking high-cushion support and aggressive traction on challenging terrain. Their key benefit lies in providing stable, confident footing across varied surfaces thanks to the combination of Cmeva cushioning and a Vibram Mega Grip outsole. A potential caveat is that the fit is true to size based on EU sizing, which may require careful consideration for those accustomed to UK or US sizing.

FAQs
What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
The Hoka One One Mafate Speed 2 Trainers are best suited for technical trails, including rocky, muddy, and uneven surfaces, due to their aggressive Vibram Mega Grip outsole and high-cushioning.
How does the EU sizing translate to UK sizing?
The product information states the fit is true to size based on EU sizing. For example, a UK 3 typically corresponds to an EU 36. It is recommended to consult a Hoka size chart for precise conversions.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They feature an external monomesh debris screen for breathability and protection against trail debris, but they will allow water ingress.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Mafate Speed 2 trainers have a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop.
Can I use these for daily road running?
While they can be used for short road distances, their design and aggressive outsole are optimized for trail running. For consistent road running, a dedicated road running shoe would be more appropriate.
What is the main advantage of the Meta-Rocker geometry?
The Early-stage Meta-Rocker geometry is designed to encourage a smoother and faster transition from heel-strike to toe-off, promoting a more efficient running gait.
How should I clean my Mafate Speed 2 trainers?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove loose dirt with a brush. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened, especially across the midfoot. Verify you have the correct UK size.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the outsole tread thoroughly to remove mud, dirt, or debris that may be lodged between the lugs. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn.
Discomfort during runs
Ensure the shoe fits correctly, considering the EU sizing. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs before undertaking long distances. Check lacing for pressure points.
Debris entering the shoe
Check that the external monomesh debris screen is intact and properly seated. Ensure laces are tied securely to minimize gaps.
