The HOKA ONE ONE Mafate Speed 2 is engineered to excel in diverse environments, from rugged trails to urban landscapes, delivering consistent performance and comfort.
Technical Trail Running: The shoe's core strength lies in its ability to conquer challenging trails. The Vibram® Megagrip outsole with its aggressive 5mm lugs digs into loose dirt, grips firmly on rocky ascents and descents, and maintains stability on wet surfaces. The Deep Active Foot Frame and tuned Meta-Rocker work in tandem to provide integrated support and smooth transitions, allowing you to confidently navigate uneven ground and technical sections mile after mile.
Long-Distance Comfort: Whether you're tackling an ultramarathon or an extended hike, the CMEVA midsole offers unparalleled cushioning, absorbing impact and reducing fatigue. This ensures that your feet remain comfortable and protected even during the longest days on your feet.
Versatile Lifestyle Wear: Despite its trail-specific features, the Mafate Speed 2 transitions seamlessly into an everyday shoe. Its balanced cushioning and supportive structure provide all-day comfort for city walks, casual outings, or standing for extended periods, combining trail-ready performance with daily utility.
Adaptability to Terrain: The outsole's deep flex grooves allow it to adapt dynamically to varied terrain, ensuring continuous ground contact and dependable grip regardless of the surface.
Lacing: Begin by threading laces through all eyelets, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight. For enhanced security on trails, especially descending, consider using a runner's loop knot at the top eyelets.
Initial Wear: While designed for immediate comfort, wear your Mafate Speed 2 for shorter periods initially to allow the shoe to fully conform to your foot's unique shape. This helps optimize the fit over time.
Foot Type: Best suited for individuals with a neutral pronation pattern who seek balanced cushioning without excessive stability control.
Terrain: Highly compatible with technical trails, rocky paths, loose dirt, and varied outdoor environments. Also suitable for urban environments and pavement due to excellent cushioning.
Activities: Ideal for trail running, long-distance hiking, walking, and general active lifestyle use where comfort and grip are paramount.
Cleaning: After each use, remove excess dirt and mud from the outsole and upper with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with cold water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight, high heat sources (like radiators or dryers), or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your Mafate Speed 2 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odors and the growth of mildew.
