FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the see-through upper is designed for breathability and light weight rather than water resistance.
Can I use these for marathon running?
While durable, these are built as trainers for general activity; check your specific arch support needs before long-distance runs.
Do these come in different widths?
The Mafate Speed 4 Lite is available in standard unisex sizing; ensure you select the correct UK size for your fit.
Is the sole stiff or flexible?
It provides a balance of responsiveness and flexibility, leveraging the Mafate Speed 4 base technology for support.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing; it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt inside the see-through upper
Gently shake out the shoe or use a soft-bristle brush to dislodge debris through the mesh.
Feeling 'tight' across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing tension, ensuring it is not pulled too tightly over the instep to allow for natural foot expansion.
Loss of traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to ensure no compacted mud is blocking the lug pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Mafate Speed 4 Lite trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Setup is straightforward: ensure you have the correct UK size, as the fit should be snug but not constricting in the forefoot. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the technical fabrics and adhesives. Instead, clean the outsole with a damp brush to remove mud and debris, and gently wipe the see-through upper with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant neon materials.
