Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite trainers, consider the following best practices:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 1-2 short walks to let the materials adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud from the outsole. For the upper, gently dab with a damp cloth and mild, neutral soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using a washing machine, as high heat and agitation can compromise the materials.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material degradation. Keep out of extreme heat, such as inside a car on a hot day.
