FAQs

Are the HOKA Mafate Speed 2 TS suitable for marathon running?

While the cushioning is excellent for long distances, the Mafate Speed 2 TS is primarily designed for technical trail running. For road marathons, HOKA offers specific road racing models that may be more appropriate.

How do I determine the right UK size?

Refer to HOKA's official sizing chart, which typically provides measurements in centimeters or inches to help you find the best fit. Ensure you measure both feet as they can differ slightly.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Yes, the Vibram Megagrip outsole provides good traction on wet surfaces, and the mesh upper offers some breathability. However, they are not waterproof, so feet may get wet in heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water.

What is the main difference between the Mafate Speed 2 and other HOKA trail shoes?

The Mafate Speed 2 is known for its aggressive grip, maximum cushioning, and MetaRocker technology, making it ideal for very technical and demanding trails. Other models might focus more on lighter weight or specific terrain types.

How durable is the mesh upper?

The upper is constructed from a durable mesh and synthetic materials designed to withstand trail conditions. However, like all trail shoes, it can be susceptible to abrasion from sharp rocks or debris over time.

Are there wider options available?

While this guide focuses on a specific model (UK 8), HOKA often offers shoes in various widths. Check the product details or HOKA's official site for availability of wider (2E or 4E) options if needed.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash or machine dry these shoes. Hand washing with mild soap and water and air drying is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Ensure the Vibram Megagrip outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. The compound performs best when clean.

Feet feel overly cushioned or unstable

This is a characteristic of HOKA's maximalist cushioning. Allow time for your feet to adapt, or consider if a less cushioned shoe might be a better fit for your preference.

Upper feels stiff initially

The mesh and synthetic materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or runs to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

Reflective details peeling

Avoid machine washing or drying. Clean gently by hand as per care instructions. Prolonged exposure to harsh detergents or heat can damage reflective elements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for trail comfort
  • Superior grip and traction on diverse surfaces
  • Durable materials suitable for rugged use
  • Good breathability for extended wear
  • Reflective elements for safety in low light

Cons

  • May be overly cushioned for those preferring a minimalist feel
  • Trail-specific design might be overkill for purely urban use
  • Synthetic materials may require specific cleaning care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed for trail running and outdoor activities. They are also suitable for general athletic use and casual wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away mud and debris. Ensure all mud is removed from the outsole tread for optimal grip.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
