FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite is designed for breathability using nylon and ripstop materials, which are not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, the Vibram Megagrip and Litebase technology perform well on concrete and paved surfaces, though they are specifically optimized for trail versatility.
How do I know if the size is correct?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the provided insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
What is the best way to clean the outsoles?
Rinse the outsoles under cold water and use a firm-bristled brush to remove any stones or mud embedded in the treads.
Does the reflective branding work in the rain?
The 3M reflective elements will maintain their visibility properties even when wet, though keeping them clean of mud is essential for maximum reflection.
Troubleshooting
Visible debris inside the shoe during trail runs
Ensure the laces are snug and consider using a gaiter if running in heavy sand or small gravel areas.
Upper material appears dirty
Use a gentle, damp cloth to spot-clean the nylon material; avoid aggressive scrubbing as it may damage the finish.
Laces coming undone
Double knot the laces or use a runner's lock-lacing technique to improve tension across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mafate Speed 4 Lite, follow these care guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure your feet are measured correctly to match the UK sizing. The shoe is designed to provide a secure fit; adjust the laces to accommodate your preferred level of tightness across the midfoot.
- Cleaning: Remove surface mud and dirt using a soft-bristled brush after trail use. For deeper cleaning, wipe the nylon upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the material colours from fading over time.
