FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the shoes use a breathable mesh upper which is designed for airflow rather than complete water resistance.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be used on roads, the Vibram Megagrip compound is designed for trails and will wear down more quickly on hard, paved surfaces.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Mafate Speed 2 is designed as a unisex model.
How should I clean the Vibram sole?
Use a soft brush and warm, soapy water to remove debris from the lugs.
Does the sizing run true to fit?
HOKA sizing is generally consistent with standard athletic shoe sizing, but we recommend referencing the specific UK sizing guide provided.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied during use
Consider using a double knot or replacing with flat-profile laces for better friction.
Accumulation of dirt in mesh
Once dry, gently brush the mesh with a soft-bristled brush to dislodge trapped particles.
Slipping on muddy terrain
Ensure the outsole lugs are free of packed mud; use a damp brush to clean between the treads to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mafate Speed 2 trainers last, proper care is essential. When you receive your shoes, ensure the lace-up closure is adjusted to your preferred tension while standing to account for foot splay.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using a washing machine, as the high-heat cycles can damage the heat-sealed mesh.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the shoe lining.
