Product Information
Full details
The Hoka One One Mafate Speed 4 Lite is designed for adult trail runners and active individuals seeking a lightweight, breathable trainer that doesn't compromise on grip. Its standout benefit is the combination of a high-performance Pro Fly+ midsole and a Vibram Megagrip outsole, providing excellent traction on technical surfaces while maintaining an airy feel thanks to its transparent nylon panels. However, users should be aware that the lightweight, see-through upper may offer less traditional structural support compared to standard, thicker-material trail shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Hoka One One Mafate Speed 4 Lite offers a regular fit and is true to size.
Can I use these for road running?
While optimized for trails, the cushioning is versatile enough for occasional transitions onto pavement, though the tread will wear faster on hard concrete.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the shoes are designed for maximum breathability with transparent nylon panels, meaning they are not waterproof.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed using a high-quality nylon material featuring transparent breathable panels.
How do I clean the reflective laces?
Clean them by lightly dabbing with a damp cloth; avoid harsh scrubbing to preserve the reflective coating.
Is this a neutral or stability shoe?
The Mafate Speed 4 Lite is designed as a neutral trainer focusing on lightweight performance and traction.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of your foot, or try a different lacing technique like the runner's loop.
Outsole collecting too much mud
While Vibram Megagrip is high-performing, if mud accumulates, use a soft-bristled brush to clear the lugs after the mud has dried.
Transparent upper panels appearing dusty
Gently wipe the exterior with a damp microfiber cloth to restore the clear look of the panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, start by wearing the shoes during short, familiar runs to allow the midsole foam to break in naturally to your stride. These trainers fit true to size, so choose your standard athletic shoe size.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash gently with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, which can degrade the adhesive and transparent panels.
- Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area. Direct sunlight or extreme heat sources (like heaters) can warp the foam and cause the nylon to become brittle.
- Storage: Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the colors and the integrity of the breathable panels.
