FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite features a highly breathable mesh upper designed for maximum airflow, meaning it is not waterproof.
Can I use these for marathon running?
Yes, the foundation is based on the Mafate Speed 4, which is capable of handling long-distance running, though the Lite version is optimized for weight reduction.
Is the upper material durable?
While lightweight, the upper is designed with HOKA's high standards for durability, making it suitable for both trail use and daily wear.
Do these shoes fit wide feet?
The Mafate Speed 4 series generally offers a secure fit; however, users with very wide feet may find the lightweight upper material fits more snugly than thicker models.
How should I store these trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the lightweight synthetic materials and foam from degrading or discoloring.
Troubleshooting
Upper material appears dirty or stained
Gently hand wash the upper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid machine washing as it can damage the specialized thin materials.
Feeling of slipping within the shoe
Ensure the laces are adjusted to lock the midfoot securely; because the material is lightweight, proper lacing tension is essential for stability.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
The see-through mesh is highly breathable but may allow fine dust to enter; use a soft-bristle brush to clear the interior after dusty trail hikes.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite trainers maintain their integrity, avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning the specialized synthetic upper. If the shoes become muddy after a trail run, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the lightweight foam. For cleaning, wipe down the outsole with a soft brush and warm water. Given the transparent nature of the upper, consider your choice of socks to complement the shoe's visual aesthetic.
