FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Mafate Speed 4 Lite uses a breathable nylon upper designed for airflow, not waterproofing.
Can I use these for long-distance hiking?
They are designed for light trail runs and daily use; for multi-day heavy-pack trekking, a more structured boot might be preferred.
How do I swap the laces?
Simply unlace the existing set and thread the included secondary set through the eyelets, ensuring they are pulled taut for a secure fit.
What does the 3M branding do?
The 3M branding provides reflective properties that catch light, helping you stay visible during low-light conditions.
Are these shoes unisex?
While listed for men, the sizing is standard UK sizing. Please verify your specific fit requirements before ordering.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels unstable on technical terrain
Ensure the laces are tensioned correctly through all eyelets to lock the heel in place.
Visible dirt inside the transparent mesh
Use a blast of compressed air to remove loose debris, or gently wipe with a damp cloth if the debris is trapped against the inner lining.
Midsole feeling less responsive
Foam compression is normal over high mileage; rotate these shoes with others to allow the midsole material to recover between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mafate Speed 4 Lite lasts, consider these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the performance fit is intended to be snug.
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short intervals on flat surfaces before taking them on longer, technical trail excursions to let the materials mold to your foot.
- Lacing: Use the provided secondary laces if you prefer a different look, but ensure they are secure for trail activities.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to spot-clean the nylon upper. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the midsole foam and adhesives. Air dry away from direct sunlight.
