Full details
The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 trainers are designed for adult female trail runners seeking support and style on challenging terrains.

FAQs
Are the Hoka Mafate Speed 2 suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable, the Mafate Speed 2 is specifically engineered for trail running with aggressive traction and cushioning. For everyday casual wear, other Hoka models might offer a better balance of features.
How do I choose the right size?
It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consult a sizing chart. Trail running shoes often benefit from a little extra room in the toe box for downhill comfort and swelling. The listed UK size (e.g., UK 4.5) refers to the standard UK women's sizing.
What is the primary advantage of the Vibram MegaGrip outsole?
The Vibram MegaGrip outsole provides exceptional traction on both wet and dry surfaces, giving you confidence and stability on challenging and unpredictable trail conditions.
How much cushioning does the CMEVA midsole offer?
The lightweight CMEVA top midsole offers substantial cushioning designed to absorb impact effectively, reducing stress on your feet and legs during long trail runs.
Can these trainers be used in wet weather?
Yes, the Vibram MegaGrip outsole offers good traction in wet conditions. The materials are designed to handle moisture, but like most trail shoes, they will get wet.
What does 'Early Stage Meta-Rocker' geometry mean?
This refers to the rocker shape of the shoe's sole, which is designed to encourage a smoother and more efficient transition from foot strike to toe-off, aiding forward momentum.
What is the heel-to-toe offset?
The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 has a 4mm heel-to-toe offset. This is a relatively low drop that can promote a more natural midfoot or forefoot strike for some runners.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Ensure the Vibram MegaGrip outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For optimal performance, allow the shoes to dry completely after use.
Discomfort after long runs
Verify that the shoe size is correct and that laces are tied appropriately. Break in the shoes gradually on shorter runs before undertaking long distances.
Debris entering the shoe
Check that the external monomesh debris screen is intact. Consider using gaiters for added protection in very dusty or debris-heavy environments.
Upper feels too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot. The SpeedFrame construction is designed for a snug fit, but adjust lacing to accommodate foot swelling during long runs.
