Shoe Review: HOKA ONE ONE Mach 4
HOKA designed the Mach 4 for everyday mileage and speed work alike with a balanced blend of plush cushioning and responsive snap. Here's what our Fleet Feet reviewers thought.
HOKA Mach 4
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 Mach 4
Great neutral shoe with not too much cushion. You may have to back lace if you have a more narrow heel but it’s very worth it.

The best
Absolutely worth the extra cost. An orthopedist suggested Hoka subsequent to my extensive foot surgery. A well-padded and very comfortable shoe that seems to improve my posture. I’m a walker not a runner and I find the Hoka Mach 4 perfect for that hour long walk.

My Favorite Shoe
The Mach 4 is the perfect combination of cushion support & responsiveness. Unlike most reviews I am a walker and these were great from the first day. No breaking in or getting used to.

Fun light running shoes
I’m a BIG Hoka fan! I have just about every model of Hoka’s. The thing I like about this shoe is it’s way light it’s a bouncy shoe with just the right amount of cushion in the shoe for good walks runs or if I just want to lift weights.
