FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite features a lightweight, breathable, see-through upper which is designed for ventilation rather than water resistance.
Can I use these for technical mountain running?
While they use the reliable Mafate Speed 4 base, the 'Lite' upper is optimized for weight savings and aesthetics, making them better suited for everyday use or light trails rather than extremely technical, high-altitude terrain.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard HOKA sizing. We recommend choosing the size you typically wear in other HOKA performance footwear.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for both men and women.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on usage frequency and surface conditions, most performance trainers of this type should be inspected for sole wear every 300 to 500 miles.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt inside the see-through upper material
Use a gentle air blower or soft-bristled brush to remove dust from between the inner and outer layers of the mesh.
Feeling of insufficient arch support during long sessions
Check that the stock insole is seated correctly; if necessary, replace with a third-party orthotic insole specifically designed for high-arch support.

Care Instructions
- Surface Cleaning: Wipe the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the trainers in water, as this can degrade the specialized lightweight upper materials.
- Air Dry Only: If the shoes get wet, remove the insoles and let them air dry in a well-ventilated space away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the structural integrity of the base and the breathable upper mesh.
