FAQs

What type of terrain are the Mafate Speed 2 best suited for?

These shoes are expertly crafted for technical trails, offering excellent grip and stability on varied and challenging surfaces including rock, mud, and scree.

How do I clean my Hoka Mafate Speed 2 trainers?

Clean them with a damp cloth to remove dirt and mud. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's construction and materials.

What is the heel-to-toe drop on these shoes?

The Hoka Mafate Speed 2 features a 4mm heel-to-toe drop.

Are these shoes suitable for neutral runners?

Yes, this model offers a neutral ride, designed to provide balanced cushioning and support without specific pronation control features.

What makes the Vibram® Megagrip outsole beneficial?

The Vibram® Megagrip outsole provides exceptional traction on both wet and dry surfaces, ensuring stability and security on difficult terrain.

Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?

While comfortable due to their cushioning, they are specifically engineered for trail running performance. For everyday walking, other footwear might offer a more suitable profile, though they can be worn casually.

What does 'Meta Rocker™ geometry' do?

Meta Rocker™ geometry is designed to promote a smooth and efficient transition from heel strike to toe-off, aiding forward momentum and reducing fatigue during runs.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.

While Vibram® Megagrip is designed for wet and dry, cleaning the outsole of mud and debris can restore optimal grip. Ensure you are running within the intended performance parameters of the shoe.

Discomfort or rubbing during runs.

Check the lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose. If discomfort persists, consider the shoe's fit profile; Hoka's unique geometry might require an adjustment period or might not be the ideal fit for your foot shape. Experiment with different sock thicknesses.

Debris entering the shoe.

The monomesh upper includes a debris screen, but in very dusty or loose conditions, some ingress may occur. Ensure the laces are tied snugly and consider using gaiters for maximum protection.
