FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The HOKA Mafate Speed 4 is designed for breathability and water drainage, making it water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. It performs well in wet conditions but will allow water to pass through.
What is the main advantage of the Vibram Megagrip sole?
The Vibram Megagrip sole offers superior traction on both wet and dry surfaces, providing excellent grip on challenging and varied trail terrain.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot. It's recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe for trail running.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
These shoes are specifically designed for trail running. While they can be used on short road sections, the aggressive outsole and cushioning are optimized for off-road conditions, and prolonged road use may lead to faster wear.
How durable are the recycled materials?
The recycled materials used in the collar, mesh, and laces are engineered for durability comparable to conventional materials, while offering environmental benefits.
What is Litebase technology?
Litebase is a technology used by Vibram to create a thinner yet durable rubber base, reducing the weight of the outsole while maintaining its performance characteristics.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram Megagrip sole is clean and free from mud or debris. The natural wear of the sole may also affect grip over time.
Discomfort or hot spots during runs
Check lacing for tightness or looseness. Ensure socks are appropriate for trail running. Consider if the break-in period is complete or if the shoe size is correct.
Excessive water absorption
While not fully waterproof, excessive water absorption might indicate wear in the upper materials. Ensure the shoe is properly dried after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and performance. Lacing can be adjusted to personal preference for a secure lockdown.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying.
