Features
Give your run an ultralight upgrade in the new HOKA Mach 4.
Taking inspiration from HOKA’s Carbon X and Rocket X models, the Mach 4 is built for everyday speed. Using a cushioned ProFly midsole, the Mach 4 delivers lightweight support and responsive take-offs.
The internal meta-rocker promotes quick transitions and a smooth ride. The soft midsole foam is supported by a rubberized EVA outsole for the added traction you need without adding the overall weight of the shoe.
A re-imagined upper mesh is made from heat-pressed TPU yarn that provides structured support while remaining flexible and weightless. The upper works with a refined collar shape that alleviates pressure from the Achilles and creates a robust pull tab that makes for easy wear.
Lightweight construction means unfailing responsiveness in the new HOKA Mach 4.

What's New
HOKA focused on creating a light, bouncy ride in the updated Mach 4. They achieved this new feel by using lightweight, responsive ProFly midsole foam and a blown EVA rubber outsole. These foams work together to create a featherlight, fast ride. The updated upper delivers the structure you need for everyday training while a newly engineered collar sports a contoured Achilles tab for ultimate comfort.
Who It's Best For
This neutral shoe is great for everyday training, speedwork on the road or track, or even road racing. The responsive midsole foam and lightweight upper work together to promote smooth transitions.
Why You'll Love It
HOKA is known for its super-cushioned feel, and the Mach 4 is no exception. The midsole foam is supportive enough that the Mach 4 can handle high-mileage training, but the shoe is also light enough that you can fly through a race. The HOKA Mach 4 offers something for everyone at every speed.

Hoka to basic
My son requested new go fasters at basic. I sent these to my son at Basic training. He absolutely loved them. They were a blessing. He has run in Hoka for a few years now.

Hika Mach 4
I have now completed the first 100 miles in these Mach 4 running shoes and the cushioning still maintains intact and provides adequate support. I have done both street running and treadmill running and the support and cushioning are equivalent and effective. I will continue to run in these and determine actual life span but highly recommend them for people who need a medium cushion support and do street running primarily.

Hoya’s One Mach 4
I work in a warehouse and am on my feet for 8 straight hours and thought that this shoes would cushion my feet the entire day but unfortunately after 5 hours I really start to feel it an it’s only the second week of the job.

Best of many worlds
Best balance of weight cushion and comfort I've ever worn; had to grab an extra pair before transitioning over to the Mach 5 when these wear out1 My go-to shoe for longer runs and races.

Lightweight Daily Trainer
Pretty lightweight shoe. Decent amount of cushion but not too much as I can feel the road. Fit was true to size. There is a break in period with these shoes for me it took about 50 miles before they felt more flexible. Hoping they do well with traction in the winter.

Mach 4
Very cushioned esp heel. A little too heavy a little too stiff clunky.
