FAQs
Is the HOKA Mafate Speed 4 waterproof?
No, the shoe features a breathable mesh upper designed for moisture management and airflow rather than water resistance.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the aggressive Vibram Megagrip lugs are optimized for trails and will wear down much faster on concrete or asphalt.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized cleaning. Air dry in a cool, shaded area.
Do these shoes run true to size?
HOKA typically follows standard sizing, though users who prefer extra room for swelling on long runs often size up by a half-size.
What is the primary difference between the standard and Lite versions?
The Lite version focuses on extreme weight reduction for speed, while the standard model maintains maximum durability and cushioning for technical stability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Check that your laces are tightened securely to lock the midfoot in place, preventing foot sliding inside the shoe.
Debris entering the shoe on trails
Consider pairing the shoes with trail gaiters to seal the collar area against rocks, sand, and dirt.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOKA shoes, ensure you are wearing the appropriate moisture-wicking socks to prevent friction. Compatibility is highest with off-road terrain; if you frequently switch between road and trail, keep the outsole clean to maintain the effectiveness of the Vibram rubber. For care, wipe down the mesh upper with a damp cloth after muddy runs. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the midsole foam and adhesives. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
