FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ripstop nylon is protective, but the shoe is not marketed as waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While they provide great cushioning, they are optimized for versatility and light trail use rather than pure road-racing marathons.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These follow standard adult UK shoe sizing; if you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size for extra toe room.
What surfaces are the Traction Lugs best for?
They are specifically engineered to excel on uneven trail terrain, mud, and wet surfaces.
Is the midsole firm or soft?
The ProFly+ midsole is designed to be responsive, meaning it offers a blend of soft cushioning and a snappy, firm feel for energy return.
Troubleshooting
Upper material appears cloudy or dull
Gently wipe the transparent nylon with a damp microfiber cloth to remove surface dust.
Laces slipping during runs
Ensure the reflective laces are double-knotted, as the synthetic material may be slicker than standard cotton laces.
Grip feels less effective on loose gravel
Check the Traction Lugs for lodged stones or mud; clear them with a blunt tool to restore full contact area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors before taking them on long trail runs to allow the microfiber collar to mold to your ankle.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush and mild soap to spot-clean the nylon upper. Do not machine wash, as the heat and agitation can degrade the adhesive bonds and the transparent upper material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the nylon and midsole foams to degrade prematurely.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit standard adult UK sizing; however, if you plan to wear thick, cushioned wool socks for trail running, consider the internal volume of the shoe to ensure a secure fit.
