Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Mafate Speed 4 is designed for female trail runners who demand a balance of weight and performance on technical, uneven terrain. By utilizing an ultra-lightweight, transparent mesh upper combined with a highly responsive ProFly+ midsole, these shoes offer exceptional cushioning for long-distance trail excursions; however, runners seeking a minimalist feel may find the substantial stack height too bulky for shorter, high-speed road sprints.

FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 4 uses a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, so it is not considered waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can handle road sections during a trail run, the lug pattern on the outsole is optimized for off-road surfaces and will wear down faster on pavement.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Does the ProFly+ midsole lose cushioning over time?
Like all foam midsoles, it will compress over time. Expect peak performance for 300 to 500 miles depending on your running surface and weight.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces to a runner's loop or use the additional eyelet to improve heel lockdown.
Debris entering the shoe while on the trail
Consider wearing trail-specific gaiters that are compatible with the shoe's structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure your HOKA Mafate Speed 4 trainers fit securely by checking that the heel is locked in place without excessive pressure on the Achilles. To maintain the life of your trainers, remove mud and trail debris with a soft-bristled brush after each run. For deep cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild detergent and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the midsole foam.
