FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite prioritizes breathability and lightweight performance, so they are not waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While the shoe is based on a performance platform, it is primarily designed for versatility, trail, and lifestyle use.
How do I determine my size?
The Mafate Speed 4 Lite follows standard HOKA sizing; refer to the provided size conversion charts to match your UK foot size.
What is the primary difference between this and the standard Mafate Speed 4?
The Lite version features a distinct, featherweight, and semi-transparent upper designed for a more minimalist look and feel.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is generally standard; however, the lightweight upper material may offer a slightly more accommodating fit than stiffer, more rigid shoes.
Troubleshooting
Outer mesh appears dusty or dirty
Use a soft brush to gently clear away loose particles and wipe with a damp cloth.
Outsole losing traction in mud
Manually clear debris from the lugs using a stiff-bristled brush or a blunt tool.
Feeling discomfort during long use
Ensure your laces are tensioned correctly across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite trainers, proper care is essential. Given the unique see-through upper material, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the lightweight fabrics. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the shoes air-dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources. Because of the mesh-like construction, these shoes pair best with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize breathability. Check the outsole periodically for trapped pebbles or mud buildup to maintain optimal grip performance.
