FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While comfortable due to HOKA's cushioning, the Mafate Speed 4 is specifically designed for technical trail performance. Its aggressive tread and robust construction may be overkill and less comfortable for flat, everyday surfaces.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the HOKA ONE ONE sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to try them on with your preferred hiking socks, ensuring about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I use these shoes in wet conditions?
Yes, the Vibram Megagrip sole is designed to provide excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces. However, like any shoe, extreme wetness can reduce overall grip.
What is the benefit of the Litebase technology?
Litebase technology helps reduce the weight of the Vibram sole without compromising its durability or grip, leading to a lighter and more agile shoe.
How often should I replace these hiking shoes?
The lifespan of hiking shoes varies based on usage frequency, terrain, and individual wear patterns. For avid hikers, replacement typically occurs after 300-500 miles or when noticeable wear on the outsole and cushioning is evident.
Are the recycled materials as durable as traditional ones?
Yes, HOKA ONE ONE uses high-quality recycled materials that meet their standards for durability and performance, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of trail use.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction after initial use
Ensure the Vibram sole is free of embedded mud or debris. Clean the sole with a brush and water. Check for excessive wear on the lugs.
Discomfort or pressure points
Adjust the lacing system to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe's fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Mesh upper feels stiff
The mesh is designed for durability and protection. It may require a few wears to break in fully. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that could stiffen the material further.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA ONE ONE Mafate Speed 4 is ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit, allowing for natural foot movement while providing necessary support.
Compatibility: These hiking shoes are designed for trail running and aggressive hiking. They are compatible with most standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush with cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
