FAQs

How do I clean my HOKA Mafate Speed 4 shoes?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use mild soap and water. Allow the shoes to air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

While the Mafate Speed 4 can be used on roads, they are primarily designed for trails. The aggressive lugs may feel less comfortable on paved surfaces.

What is the lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on usage and terrain but is typically between 300-500 miles. Replace the shoes when the cushioning is compromised or the outsole is worn.

What kind of socks should I wear with the Mafate Speed 4?

Trail running socks or socks designed for cushioning and moisture-wicking are recommended for optimal comfort and performance.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the HOKA size chart. It's recommended to have some extra room in the toe box, especially for long-distance runs. Consider trying the shoes on with the socks you plan to use while running.

Where are these shoes best used?

The shoes are best used on technical trails with varied terrain, including rocky, muddy, and uneven surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Poor traction on wet surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean. If traction remains poor, consider replacing the shoes as the lugs may be worn.

Discomfort or blisters.

Ensure proper sizing and lacing. Consider using thicker socks or insoles for added comfort.

Excessive wear on the outsole.

Avoid excessive road running. Adapt your running style to reduce the impact.
