FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 2 is designed for breathability and performance on trails; while it can handle light moisture, it is not categorized as a fully waterproof shoe.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While highly cushioned, these are specialized for trail and mixed-terrain use. They provide excellent stability for long distances, but are primarily optimized for uneven surfaces.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual athletic shoe size.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Mafate Speed 2 is designed as a unisex model, accommodating a wide variety of foot shapes.
What makes the XLIM collaboration special?
The collaboration brings a high-fashion, cinematic aesthetic and specific material treatments that distinguish these from standard HOKA models.
Troubleshooting
Outer sole picking up debris
The deep lug pattern is designed for grip; simply tap the soles together or use a stiff brush to dislodge stones between treks.
Feeling too snug in the midfoot
Adjust the lace tension. The Mafate Speed 2 uses a technical lacing system that allows for targeted loosening in the midfoot area.
Material showing early wear
Ensure you are using the shoes primarily for walking or light trail use, as extreme friction against jagged rock may accelerate the aging of the burnished finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Mafate Speed 2 Trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you consult the specific UK sizing guide (e.g., size 7) to account for the performance-oriented fit. HOKA trainers generally follow standard sizing, but if you prefer wearing thicker wool socks for hiking, you may consider a half-size adjustment.
- Cleaning: To preserve the unique burnished aesthetic, avoid harsh chemical cleaners or high-heat drying. Instead, use a soft, damp brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and mesh upper.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials and the colour vibrancy over time.
- Maintenance: If the shoes become soaked during outdoor use, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with paper towels to draw out moisture naturally.
