FAQs
Who is the HOKA Mafate Speed 4 designed for?
These trainers are designed for adult male trail runners who tackle technical terrain and require responsive cushioning and high traction for long distances or challenging races.
What is the main benefit of the PROFLY™ midsole?
The PROFLY™ midsole offers a dual-layer construction with the lightest and most responsive HOKA foam directly underfoot, providing a soft landing and energetic toe-off.
How does the Vibram® Megagrip outsole help?
The Vibram® Megagrip outsole is engineered for superior grip on both wet and dry surfaces, offering enhanced stability and confidence on uneven and challenging trails.
Is the upper material durable?
The upper is constructed with a single-layer jacquard mesh, designed for breathability and a dynamic fit. While durable for its purpose, aggressive trail use can cause wear over time.
How should I clean my Mafate Speed 4 trainers?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
What is the primary difference from previous Mafate models?
The Mafate Speed 4 updates familiar features with new textiles and construction, including a breathable jacquard mesh upper and an updated PROFLY™ midsole using HOKA's lightest foam.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can be used on roads for short distances, they are optimized for trail running. The aggressive outsole pattern provides superior grip off-road but may wear faster and feel less efficient on pavement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Clean the Vibram® Megagrip outsole to remove any mud or debris that may be obstructing the lugs. Ensure the outsole is not significantly worn down.
Upper feels less breathable than expected
Ensure the mesh is clean and free from dirt. On very hot days, breathability can be a limiting factor for any shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. No special setup is required. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: Designed for adult male trail runners. Compatible with standard running socks. Not intended for road running as the outsole is optimized for off-road traction.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
