FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 4 features a breathable mesh upper designed for maximum airflow; they are not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically usable on roads, the aggressive Vibram lugs are designed for trails and will wear down prematurely on asphalt.
How do I determine my size?
This model is available in standard UK sizing for women. It is recommended to leave a thumb's width of space at the front for toe comfort.
What is the primary surface for this shoe?
It is best used on technical, uneven, or loose natural terrain including dirt, mud, and rocky trails.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove dust and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots. Never submerge the shoes in water.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through all eyelets to provide a locked-in fit across the midfoot.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Consider wearing gaiters, as the lightweight mesh is designed for breathability and can allow fine sand or silt to enter.
Excessive wear on outsole lugs
Avoid using the shoes on paved surfaces or concrete, as the soft Vibram rubber compound is specifically formulated for trail friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Mafate Speed 4s, it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks to complement the breathable upper. Always ensure the laces are snug but not tight to maintain proper circulation during long runs. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the midsole foam and adhesive components. Instead, remove loose dirt after each run using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become muddy, hand-clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
