FAQs
What is the main advantage of the see-through upper?
The see-through upper is designed to be featherweight and highly breathable, contributing to a minimalist aesthetic while keeping your feet cool and comfortable during activity.
How does the Vibram outsole benefit trail performance?
The Vibram outsole features specially designed lugs that provide enhanced traction and grip on a variety of challenging trail surfaces, ensuring stability and confidence with every step.
Is this shoe suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, while optimized for trail performance, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite's running-inspired profile and durable construction make it suitable for everyday wear, blending style with function.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at its highest point is 5.5 cm.
What materials are used in the shoe?
The upper is made of textile (mesh) with synthetic overlays. The midsole is EVA, and the outsole is rubber with Vibram lugs.
How should I clean my Mafate Speed 4 Lite shoes?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth. Clean the midsole and outsole with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid using harsh detergents or heat sources.
Are these shoes waterproof?
These shoes are not advertised as waterproof. The textile mesh upper is designed for breathability, which means water can penetrate.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (3.5 in this case). Try wearing them with thinner or thicker socks as needed. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if the fit is suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While Vibram outsoles offer excellent grip, extremely wet or slick surfaces can challenge any footwear. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris that might impede traction. For very slippery conditions, extra caution is advised.
Upper material appears discolored or dirty
Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner for textiles and synthetics. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. For the see-through upper, ensure no staining agents are left on the material.
