FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite features a lightweight, breathable mesh upper that is not designed to be waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance trail running?
While based on a trail performance base, the Lite version is optimized for aesthetics and lifestyle; consider the standard Mafate Speed 4 if you need maximum technical support for ultra-distance runs.
How do I determine my size?
These follow standard UK adult sizing; it is recommended to measure your foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and consult the HOKA size guide.
Is the upper material fragile?
The material is engineered for durability, but because it is a lightweight, translucent fabric, it is best to avoid sharp brush or intense off-trail bushwhacking.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the stock insoles are removable and can be swapped for custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Visible debris inside the see-through mesh
Use a blast of compressed air to gently dislodge small particles from the inner weave of the upper.
Soles feeling slippery on wet surfaces
Ensure the tread is clear of mud or compacted debris, as the performance grip works best when the rubber pattern is clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mafate Speed 4 Lite, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the performance adhesives and the delicate, lightweight mesh. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud from the sole. For the upper, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient for spot cleaning. Because of the lightweight upper construction, ensure you select the correct size to prevent excessive friction or unnecessary strain on the side panels. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the beige and grey materials.
