FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While the cushioning is present, the Hoka Mafate Speed 2 Ts are specifically engineered for trail running with aggressive lugs and a supportive frame. They may feel too structured or heavy for optimal road performance.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer. As these are unisex trainers, consider that men's sizing may differ from women's. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or measure your foot and compare with the provided UK sizing.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on these trainers?

The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 Ts have a 4mm heel-to-toe offset.

How durable is the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole?

Vibram Mega-Grip is known for its durability and excellent traction. However, like all outsoles, its lifespan will depend on usage intensity, terrain, and care.

Can I use these shoes in wet weather conditions?

Yes, the Vibram Mega-Grip outsole provides excellent traction on wet surfaces. The shoe materials offer some protection, but they are not fully waterproof unless specified otherwise.

What makes the 'Active Foot Frame' beneficial?

The Active Foot Frame is designed to cradle the foot securely within the midsole, providing enhanced stability and support, especially on challenging and uneven terrain.

Are these trainers vegan?

Yes, the product description indicates that these trainers are vegan.

Troubleshooting

Foot slippage inside the shoe

Adjust the lacing to achieve a more secure fit, particularly around the midfoot and heel. Ensure the Active Foot Frame is properly cradling your foot.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Clean the Vibram Mega-Grip lugs to remove any embedded mud or debris that could hinder grip. Ensure the outsole is not excessively worn.

Discomfort on the top of the foot

Loosen the laces over the instep area. Ensure the tongue is positioned correctly and not bunched up.

Debris entering the shoe

Ensure the external monomesh debris screen is intact. Consider using gaiters for extremely dusty or debris-filled conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced correctly to utilize the Active Foot Frame's support system. Adjust lacing tightness based on terrain and personal preference for comfort and security.

Compatibility: The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 Ts are designed for trail running and are compatible with various running socks. They are suitable for both male and female runners (unisex sizing).

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
  4. Midsole and Outsole: Regularly inspect the CMEVA midsole for significant compression and the Vibram outsole for wear. Clean the outsole grooves to maintain optimal traction.
