The HOKA ONE ONE Mafate Speed 2 is engineered to excel in demanding environments. On technical trails, the Vibram® Megagrip Outsole with its 5mm lugs delivers aggressive traction, allowing you to confidently navigate slippery rocks, loose gravel, and steep ascents or descents. The deep flex grooves enable the outsole to adapt to uneven terrain, enhancing ground contact and stability.
For long-distance adventures, the CMEVA midsole provides a 'Balanced' level of cushioning, absorbing impact mile after mile to reduce fatigue and maintain comfort. This is particularly beneficial when spending extended periods on your feet. The Early-Stage Meta-Rocker Geometry facilitates a smooth, rolling motion from heel strike to toe-off, promoting an efficient gait that conserves energy.
The Lightweight SpeedFrame Construction and monomesh debris screen work together to keep your feet protected and comfortable, preventing small rocks and dirt from entering the shoe, which is crucial on dusty or loose trails. The Deep Active Foot Frame and Sculpted Arch Pod Support offer a secure, stable feel, helping to prevent pronation and provide confidence on unpredictable surfaces. While built for performance, its comfortable and supportive nature also makes it an excellent choice for active lifestyle use, providing cushioning for everyday wear in a stylish package.
Sizing: Ensure you select the correct UK size for an optimal fit. The Mafate Speed 2 is available in various UK sizes (e.g., UK 11).
Lacing: Utilize the shoe's lacing system to achieve a snug, secure, yet comfortable fit. Adjust tension evenly to avoid pressure points.
Break-in: While HOKA shoes are often comfortable out of the box, it's advisable to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot before undertaking long runs or hikes.

Cleaning: The upper is made of Polyester. To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap (like dish soap diluted in water) to wipe down the upper and midsole. For stubborn mud on the outsole, a soft brush can be used.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage to prevent odor or mold.
Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for any embedded debris (small rocks, thorns) and remove them to maintain optimal grip and prevent damage.
