Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Mafate Speed 2 XLIM is a versatile, unisex trail-ready trainer designed for adults who demand high-performance functionality in both rugged natural terrain and urban environments. Infused with the creative vision of XLIM founder Kim Dohee, this shoe blends a distinctive burnished aesthetic inspired by the elements with HOKA's signature technical engineering; however, potential buyers should note that the unique, fashion-forward styling leans more toward a postmodern design that may not suit those seeking a strictly minimalist athletic look.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 2 XLIM is designed for breathability and trail performance; while durable, it is not explicitly marketed as waterproof.
Can these be used for long-distance running?
Yes, they are built on the Mafate Speed 2 platform, which is specifically engineered for long-distance trail running comfort and support.
Is the sizing the same as other HOKA models?
While generally true to size, fit can vary by individual. It is recommended to follow the size chart provided for your specific UK size.
How should I clean the unique upper material?
Stick to a dry or slightly damp cloth for the upper to preserve the specific texture and colouration intended by the designer.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the design is specifically intended to flourish in both urban and natural habitats, making them a great choice for daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty achieving a secure fit
Adjust the lacing tension at the midfoot eyelets to better lock your heel into the cup.
Accumulation of mud in tread
Allow mud to dry completely and gently tap the outsoles together or use a stiff brush to dislodge particles.
Discoloration or surface scuffs
The 'burnished' aesthetic is a design feature, but light dusting with a dry cloth can maintain the intended finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Mafate Speed 2 XLIM, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Since these are high-performance shoes, they should be cleaned manually using a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsoles. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the specialized finish and technical materials of the upper. For fit, utilize the standard lacing system to secure the midfoot; if you are between sizes, consider a professional measurement, as sizing can vary slightly between HOKA series.
