Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Mafate Speed 2 is a high-performance unisex trainer designed for trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts who require maximum support and cushioning on technical terrain. Its engineered architecture provides stability during long-distance treks, making it an excellent choice for varied landscapes; however, users seeking an ultra-lightweight minimalist shoe may find the substantial support frame slightly more rigid than intended for road-only use.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 2 is designed for breathability and drainage on the trail; they are not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically usable on roads, the Vibram Mega-Grip lugs are optimized for trail surfaces and will wear down faster on pavement.
How do I determine my size?
The Mafate Speed 2 follows standard adult UK sizing for unisex fit; consult the size guide provided for your specific measurements.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
How long should the outsole last?
Durability depends on usage intensity and terrain, but the Vibram material is specifically chosen for high-wear longevity on trails.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned through all eyelets and check that you have the correct size for your foot width.
Outsole losing traction in mud
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove compacted dirt or mud from the deep flex grooves and Vibram lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, lace your Mafate Speed 2s securely to allow the Active Foot frame to cradle your heel effectively. These trainers are unisex, so verify your UK sizing before first use. To maintain the life of the Vibram outsole, avoid wearing these on abrasive asphalt or concrete for extended periods. After muddy trail runs, rinse the outsole with water and allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area—avoid direct heat sources, as they can degrade the specialized cushioning foams.
