Product Information

Full details

The Hoka One One Mafate Speed 2 trainers are designed for adult females seeking robust support and superior cushioning on technical trail runs. Their key benefit lies in providing confident traction and a smooth ride over varied and challenging terrains, with a caveat that their balanced cushioning might be less preferred by those seeking extremely soft footwear. These shoes feature a Vibram Megagrip outsole, a CMEVA midsole for impact absorption, and a Meta-Rocker geometry for efficient transitions, all wrapped in a durable, breathable upper.

FAQs

Are the Mafate Speed 2 suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Mafate Speed 2 can be worn for everyday activities due to their cushioning and comfort, though they are primarily engineered for technical trail performance.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Mafate Speed 2?

The Mafate Speed 2 features a 4mm heel-to-toe drop, offering a balanced and natural feel.

How does the Vibram Megagrip outsole perform?

The Vibram Megagrip outsole provides exceptional traction on a variety of surfaces, including wet, dry, loose, and rocky terrain, ensuring confident grip.

Is the upper waterproof?

The upper is constructed from breathable monomesh and synthetic materials. It is not waterproof but is designed to be durable and protective against trail debris.

How do I determine the correct size?

The Mafate Speed 2 is generally true to size based on EU sizing. It is recommended to consult a Hoka size guide or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals.

Can these shoes be used for hiking as well as running?

Absolutely. The stability, cushioning, and traction of the Mafate Speed 2 make them an excellent choice for hiking on technical trails, in addition to trail running.

What is the weight of the Mafate Speed 2?

The Mafate Speed 2 weighs approximately 329g (11.6 oz) per shoe in a men's size 9, which is considered moderately lightweight for a trail shoe of this caliber.

Troubleshooting

Slipping sensation on wet surfaces

Ensure the Vibram Megagrip outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris. The outsole is designed for grip, but extreme conditions can affect performance. Check for wear on the outsole tread.

Discomfort or rubbing on the feet

Verify you have the correct size and that the laces are tied appropriately for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. The seamless SpeedFrame upper is designed to minimize irritation, but break-in periods may be necessary for some users.

Debris getting into the shoe

While the shoe has an external debris screen, very fine particles can still enter. Ensure the laces are tied securely and the screen is properly seated. Consider using gaiters for added protection in extremely dusty or sandy conditions.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The CMEVA midsole is durable, but cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse trail surfaces thanks to Vibram Megagrip.
  • Comfortable cushioning suitable for long-distance trail running.
  • Smooth transitions provided by the Meta-Rocker geometry.
  • Durable construction with protective features against debris.
  • Secure and supportive fit with the external heel counter.

Cons

  • May feel less plush than other maximally cushioned shoes.
  • The balanced cushioning might not suit runners who prefer a very soft feel.
  • Limited availability in specific colorways or sizes depending on the retailer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Mafate Speed 2 comes ready to wear. Ensure you have the correct UK size for a comfortable fit. The lace closure allows for adjustability to secure your foot within the shoe.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult females and are best suited for trail running and hiking. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. While designed for trail use, the cushioning and stability also make them suitable for general outdoor activities on varied terrain.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the textile and synthetic upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the CMEVA midsole and Vibram outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
