FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Mafate Speed 4 features a breathable, lightweight mesh upper designed for ventilation, not waterproof protection.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the aggressive Vibram Megagrip tread is optimized for off-road terrain and will wear down faster on hard, abrasive road surfaces.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The shoes are sized for adult feet; it is recommended to allow for a thumbnail's width of space at the front of the shoe to accommodate foot expansion.
What is the primary benefit of the ProFly+ midsole?
The ProFly+ midsole is designed to offer a soft, cushioned landing for comfort and a responsive, snappy toe-off for speed.
Is the upper material durable?
Yes, it uses a mix of mesh and protective overlays designed to balance lightweight performance with trail-ready durability.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch after long runs
Ensure the laces are tied securely but not overtightened to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise.
Mud accumulation in the outsole treads
Use a specialized nylon brush or a stiff-bristled tool to clear the Vibram tread once the mud has dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Mafate Speed 4 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: While designed for immediate comfort, perform a few shorter runs to allow the mesh upper to conform to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after each run. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to warp or stiffen.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for standard adult trail use and feature a gender-specific fit for females.
