Not for my feet :( I wear size 7 in running shoes, but I could easily go for 6.5 size in Mach4. They are a 'limbo' shoes between Carbon X and Rocket X; poor energy return and barely felt 'rocker'. This 'no here nor there' feeling translated into drag/heft on my feet. I felt like I was pulling a stubborn dog on a leash (i.e. with alternating stop and go action) during my run.
Keep in mind that this is a subjective review; your experience with Mach4 may be drastically different due to your age, size and fitness needs.

After years of having plantar fasciitis issues, these are the BOMB! I started wearing May 1st and have put over 70 miles on them. My feet feel great and the shoes look beautiful!

Nice, very comfortable and stylish shoes. I bought these and a pair of HOKA Clifton 8. The only problem with the HOKA ONE ONE MACH 4 is the tongue, which is not cushioned and it rubs against the front of my ankles, making it unbearable. It has a straight cut, compared to a semicircular one the Hoka Clifton 8, features. I am returning the MACH 4 pair, unfortunately, because otherwise they are soft and very cushioned.

I have run in a lot of different shoes. I always keep one pair of Hokas in my rotation. I just purchased the Mach 4's and can't say enough good about them. They're the most cushioned shoes. Wide toe box. Light weight. I love them. I'm also able to get quite a few miles per pair before I need to switch them out, which is not true of all running shoes.

I’m a heel striker and I run 10-20 miles per week. These shoes are exactly what I was looking for. I love the “spring” they add to my step. Hopefully they add more color options in the future.

I really like this shoe! It has relieved my arch pain and is very comfortable and light to wear, both for walking and running. The only downside is that the soles wear down quicker than other shoes I have had in the past.

for 20 years I wore a brand that no longer feels good on my feet. I was afraid to try Hoka because I have not loved the style profile but I had heard wonderful things about comfort. I read a review about a 'cushioned hug' and thought I had better try. I picked the style the reviewer recommended in the most simple color. I LOVE THEM. I only wear them for running.

I love the style of this shoe, the width is perfect for my narrow feet and the sole and footbed are extremely comfortable. However, the tongue is huge, very hard and it digs into my legs/ankles. I walked around for 5 minutes in my house and it was unbearable digging into my ankle. I have a petite frame and tiny ankles, which makes this even stranger. How do people with normal size ankles wear these???? I really wanted to love these! So disappointed. Sadly, I had to return them. I ended up sticking with Ye Ole Faithful ASICS.

I waited to review these until I was sure about the fit and function. Unlike most people I supinate walking to the outside of my shoes. I’ve known forever this issue was causing problems with my knees which are now in really bad shape. This is not due only to exercise but to general wear and tear and age. I found Hoka by shear accident and Lordy I wish it had been sooner. These shoes are GREAT. They correct my gait and literally correct my step and I haven’t a clue how they do it but I’m sure it’s not my imagination. The wear pattern after 5 months shows no abnormal wear neither pronation nor supination. Upshot here is they are worth every penny and would recommend the shoes to anyone without hesitation.

I didn't think I could love a shoe more than my Clifton's but I do! Ran a 10k on third run with no issues.

I bought a size 9 in this style and normally wear an 8.5 in boots and other dress shoes. The 9 is a perfect fit since I usually go up a half size in Brooks athletic shoes, and a full size in Nikes. They are very comfortable and help with heel pain I was having. Could they be better looking?? Definitely! I don’t care for the large Hoka logo or the funny looking sole in the back, but the comfort makes up for it. I bought mine in Black so they are less noticeable.

These shoes are so comfy! They offer plenty of responsiveness and cushion without the squishy feeling that the Clifton's have. I've worn them for short runs, long runs, on pavement, and dirt trails and they've performed fantastically each time. NOTE: If you have narrow feet, these may be too wide for you. I have wide feet and the regular width versions fit me perfectly. It's so nice to find a pair that gives me plenty of room in the toe box without being too wide elsewhere.

It's like walking on pillows! No need to break them in. Took them right out of the box and worked a 12 hour shift at the hospital!

I have searched and searched for a pair of comfortable tennis shoes for so long. I’m so thankful a friend told me about these. I wear them long hours standing at work and they’re perfect!

Absolutely love the comfiness of the shoe, cushioned but not like there's a huge barrier between me and the ground. Really happy with it for road running

I was super nervous about buying online. I have wider feet, and have such a hard time finding shoes that fit me. I saw these, the yellow bottom ones and loved them..good reviews, but no option for "wide". I took the chance, after reading pretty much all the reviews and ordered them, size 11. They fit perfectly! Tight in all the right places, size fit perfectly..& literally the most comfortable shoe I have ever tried on. These were my first pair, after being recommended to this brand. Definitely will be saving up for my second pair!!

The Mach 4 is my 2nd pair of Hoka's and these are definitely a must to have. Super comfortable for everyday running and definitely put spring in your step from the way they were designed.

Thought i had found the perfect shoe finally after two years of looking but the tongue comes up too high and puts pressure on my instep and caused pain and the heel slipped a lot so they have to be returned. So disappointed.

I love running and walking long distances in these shoes. They have been so helpful with my joint pain and making my feet and legs tighten up. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone!

I absolutely love these sneakers. The color is so pretty in person and they feel incredible on my feet. I have very high arches so there could be even more support in my case, but they are light as air and very comfortable right out of the box. The tongue does not bother my ankle at all like it does for some other people, I never notice it! I also have narrow feet and these shoes are quite narrow, so they fit great for me, but I would try them in person or get the wider size if you have wide feet just to make sure you enjoy the fit. I highly recommend these shoes overall and will be buying more!

Having had some extensive physio for knee and hip issues, I discovered that I supinate quite awfully. My ASICS were great, but I needed more cushioning and after many suggestions, thought I'd try the Mach 4s. I have not regretted my choice. I feel like I work for Hoka because I can't stop talking about how amazing these shoes are for running. I feel like I'm literally walking on the clouds.

I love love love this shoe. Finally a shoe that doesn't burn my feet and is cushiony yet not too much! The only issue I have is it doesn't last too long! Only ran about 250 miles and the bottoms were pretty shot. Hopefully next gen will be a tad more durable in that aspect. The sizing is a bit bigger than usual but i like more room in the two box anyways. I will still buy. def my new go to!

I'm so happy with these shoes. I tried to get them direct from the Hoka site as I normally do but they were on backorder for a month. I was worried that they weren't really in stock at Zappos but received them 2-3 days later. I was SHOCKED and thrilled!! They were also a dollar cheaper on Zappos. I will always check Zappos before I purchase from anywhere else. Thank you Zappos!

Third pair of Hoka One Ones and have not been disappointed or uncomfortable in the Mach 4 or previous models. I bought medium and they fit my wider toe bed fine.
