Seems like the Mach 4 is destined for a slot in my rotation, not that I need more shoes! (I have an issue.) Congrats on 10 years Ethan! Just keep doing what you do and we’ll keep coming back.
After a few runs in the Mach 4, and after having 2 Rincons and plenty of Cliftons (5,6 and 7), I would say that if your recovery pace is good enough this will easily replace both Rincon (really bad durability) and the Cliftons. I’ll just keep the Carbon’s for the really fast days.
I am SO excited for this shoe! That doesn't mean I'll get it upon release though because I'm still a poor student, but once my current shoe runs out this will definitely be a competitor for the next pair.
Hi. I'm on of your subscribers! This is a great review! I only run in HOKA! They're great for my middle-aged knees!😁 I'm due for a new pair. Congratulations on your 10 year TH-cam anniversary; times flies. It's been 6 years for me! How many miles do you put in per week (on average)? Keep up the great work you're doing!😊👋🏾👨🏽⚕️🏃🏽♂️
The saucony Endorphin Shift has become my go to running shoe! I used to love the hoka gaviota 2, but after trying the endorphin, I always seem to take this shoe out for a run.
I'm so pumped for this shoe. I'm an easy mark for Hoka shoes though. Love the Clifton but hate that I can't use it for faster days, forcing me to have a tempo shoe in my rotation. This solves all those problems. Now I can go through an entire training block with just one shoe.
I have 285 miles in these and though they feel stiffer than the Rincons (I've run in 1 and 2) I haven't had any issues with the recurring injuries I had before I started running in Hokas. Would buy another pair but they did away with this great colourway.
Totally agree about the confusion issue. I was thinking to get a pair of Rincon 2 (I loved the 1s) but now seeing the Mach 4 with all the talking is generating, hmmm. I will keep it in mind . Thanks for the great review!
Thanks for the review! I've been eyeing this as an additional daily trainer. Currently using the Clifton and the Mach now feels compelling enough to mix in to the rotation
Great review Ethan! Really loving the long hair growing in too. Something I'm experimenting with myself in these dystopian times. Keep up the amazing work.
Dropped in after some absence. Thank you for leaving out your usual background music for the most part. So much more enjoyable and personal, at least for my taste. Also, great studio backround. And those Hoka's, I am tempted for my next purchase. And you are looking trim, fit and healthy.
For me personally this is my Peggy Turbo substitution: 2step cush sensation with a firm push off and benefit of 5mm drop instead of 10mm. Plus I'm personally happy that Hoka tries to diversify their line-up. This is the one to get if you don't enjoy lots of cush, looking for stability (sans posting), versatility and not too much distance to the ground. These got me interested in Hoka feet fell much more nimble and light than in Nikes, Asics or my all-round Sense Ride 3 (Salomon)
Ive been rocking these for a long time im on my Third pair. I run with these everyweek when i get tight calves from running fast i hop in these. Great review has always and congrats for the 10 Years
Who knew?! Well, I am new to the Hoka line. Years ago when they started I said, "Nope! Whales on wheels. Those are for fat guys." However, I have decided to take the plunge, but with the flagship Clifton 7 model which will arrive this Friday. I plan on exclaiming, "Thar she blows," when it gets here. Seriously, I'm excited about trying out a Hoka. I currently run in the Skechers Forza 4 hypers. Kudos to you for your support of Skecher running shoes and dispelling myths about the brand. I have a pair of GoRun Razor 3 (Cloak)---read Zebra print I got on clearance coming Wed. Soooo, I will have a diversified collection soon.
Congrats on 10 years! Off-topic gear questions: What about new vests and out of market brands? I'm very curious about the new Salomon Sense Pro 5 vest...as well as the new North Face vest featured on the runners in TNF's Vectiv ads (TNF Vectic Trail Vest?). Also, there are so many Euro and Asian exclusives (shoes and gear), and it would be fun to have a segment teasing people with what they can't get (easily). Example would be offerings from Kailas, out of China. I have to order Scott shoes from Europe, because they stopped selling here. When shopping, I notice that online stores in Europe seem to have way more diversity of products aimed exclusively at Trail Runners (I understand they have a much wider (percentage) audience). Thanks for everything you do!
Congrats on 10 years!!! I absolutely love the new review style! Especially the intro and seeing you running out their! The Mach 4 seems to be a really reviewer favorite. possible one of the shoes of the year in 2021! I wonder if I these are coming out how the Clifton edge will change,? In the v2? They both seem very similar expect the foams one being more cushioned and one being more responsive. These seem to be totally a different line compared to the bondi, Clifton and rincon.. etc. It seems like it’s a more traditional shoe feel. For those who aren’t invested in Hoka in the past and don’t want that massive stack hight and stiffness.
As an Altra user, I've got the Escalante Racers for my road shoes, which obviously are zero drop and considerably less stack height. I'm not a purist however, and I am willing to add a shoe with some drop that will give the lower posterior chain a bit of relief on the long runs. I think you might have sold me on this one but I'm curious how you might compare sizing between Altra and this particular Hoka? I wear an 11.5 in my Escalante Racers with a good thumb's width between the big to e and edge of the shoe.
Totally agree with the confusion part. Im a Hoka fan but their products recently really made me question what shoes I should really get and it seems all of their shoes are almost the same. They should streamline more of their models.
Great vid. Congrats on 10 years! Loved that video, too. Not sure why I'd choose this shoe over the Clifton (which I have). I think your questions are right on.
i got it & i love it. Might like the clifton 8 just a bit better for those relaxing runs because I feel it has more cushioning, but when I feel good, like on those sunny days, and I want to get out, the Mach 4 is my new favorite.
You may have had me at 'durable.' That's probably my biggest issue with my Hoka shoes (I've run in Clifton, Rincon, Arahi and Challenger). And as long as the toe box is accommodating it sounds like it fits the bill for my type of run training. I'm not a fan of the current Clifton (toe box got slightly more narrow in the 7 compared to the 6) but if the Mach 4 can cover me for everything AND fit well AND last, I'm sold!
Man, I was hoping you’d review this bad boy! Can’t wait to try it. I reached out to customer service to see if they’d be offering a wide but they don’t seem to think so😭 I’m hoping they do fit the touch wider foot!
Thanks for the review. I found the build quality to be pretty good but sadly the soles are to hard with no give . Its a difficult thing to quantify because my guess is that for runners around 11 Stones or less may find it a good shoe . For me i can only use it for short harsh miles. Im 13½ stone and found the soul began to wear at 50 miles and i have shoes beyond 1000 miles 😁
I love the Mach line and have used Mach 2 through the Mach 4 (yes, I got a pair early). l tried those other models you mentioned but they caused me problems. The Mach 4 give me some cushion while also giving me the quick response. I don't feel they're softer than the Clifton, Rincon or Bondi (those are the models I ended up donating quickly). I'll always love my Mach's.
very well said sir, I was confused picking my first Hoka. I think they designed it for people who are not so used to the HUGE round bottom. I can also use it to go out! on walks and not look goofy. cuz i think most hokas look goofy lol
I know I know, you’re trying to prove a point but Ian.....I was cringing sooo hard on the opening roll of the shoes with your laces flopping around! ☠️ please tell me you tuck them day to day 🙏🏼😂
My main search factor these days is durability. The Arahis were very durable (450+ miles on 3 pairs) but having overcome my foot stability issues, I returned to neutral shoes and absolutely loved the Rincon 2 . They are surprisingly fast, something I don't usually notice. However, 150 miles in, the outsoles are already getting mashed and the midsoles losing their "squish". I doubt I'll get more than 300-350 miles with most of the good miles already behind. So I just ordered the Mach 4s together with Clifton 7s. I would definitely reconsider the Rincon but only if they make them much more durable.
Thanks for another great review. For me the Mach 4 is a maybe. I'd like to see how it compares to the Novablast which I love for easy day/ recovery runs. I'll keep the Mach 4's on my radar, maybe test them out the next time I head over to my local running store here in Bellingham. Congrats on 10 years!
I'm looking forward to try it. I think the Mach, even though it's not a stability shoe, is a great for slight pronators. For me, the Clifton or the Rincon are too soft and make my ankle roll too much. The Mach has been a great sweet spot, but the the 2 and 3s were too firm. Hoping that the 4 is a good middle ground.
On my second pair of mach 4's. Gives me just enough more space in the width to handle some oddities my feet have. It is my daily trainer....really wish Hoka had this fit/feel in a trail shoe.
How would you classify the difference between the Clifton v. Mach in terms of daily training and long miles? Which would you choose? You feel like the Clifton is more responsive for faster runs?
The Mach is just more comfortable for me. It’s more reminiscent of the original Clifton but isn’t as “snappy” as what the Clifton 7 can feel like as both lasts are different.
@@TheGingerRunner Thanks, I am I run in the Clifton and the Rincon, and with how I feel like in the Clifton my current one two road training punch is likely the correct one for me. Keep rocking the reviews.
Very excited for this shoe. Just picked up the arahi to replace my bottomed out rincons. The arahi is pretty stiff issues keep arising pointing me in the direction of a stability shoe
I agree on the confusion. I bought a pair of Speedgoats and wanted to get a Hoka road shoe and I'm watching all the review because I have no idea where any of these shoes fit in.
@@TheGingerRunner plenty of people do with newer Hokas - my feet haven't changed but I can't squeeze into the Rincon or 2 - the Bondi is ok the Clifton is kinda tight - I think they've been cribbing (sneakily cutting down) a bit off the width of their shoes for quite a while to keep the weight down - I don't think they are alone but its the most noticeable in Hokas because I used to buy them all .. now I have a lot more Altra in the rotation. - sorry for the rant - I loved the OG Mach
I feel a bit sad about what you said on previous Hoka Mach, specially the Mach 3. In my opinion, it really is a great light shoe, that can be used for easy runs to intervals.
Very interested - especially since my feet are wide and I’ve never run in Hokas. I wonder if Hoka is spreading a wide net for varied consumers by creating so many different brand iterations. You rock. Thanks!
you all prolly dont give a damn but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Rocco Wesley thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I thought about the Mach 4 all day yesterday and ordered them first thing this morning. I also bought an Altra Provision 4 because I like zero drop but am too old to go minimalist. I pre ordered the NB RC Elite 2 because gosh darnit, I've been running for a while and I could use a treat. Hopefully these three shoes will last me an eternity, but the truth is I still want a new track shoe. I ran my Golden Spikes into the ground. It's an excellent shoe but any other suggestions?
Best review of this shoe yet. I watched them all. 😐
Don't be mad because they aren't Asics
Your reviews are also up there Jamison !
Jami we need ur review on these!
Tremendously here for more yellow in shoes. Congrats on 10 years!
Altra Lone peak 5 has a fantastic yellow color
Just bought these today. Gonna be my first pair of Hokas and I’m very excited! And happy ten years!!!
Same here! Can't wait...
How are they? Im planning on buying.
@@skegro_j5218 literally the best running shoe I’ve ever had! Super light, comfortable and protects my feet on long runs!
@@Awkward_Runner wow that's awesome! Thanks for the reply, im definetely buying them. My first real running shoes - i think they will be perfect 😊

@@cheryldrazina3832 I'm definitely aiming to give them a try soon!

Really dig your synth/electro chill music Ethan. Hope we have some new music dropping soon!
New album this year!!
Whoop whoop 🙌🏻
@@TheGingerRunner awesome news! Your albums are my toddler's favorite music to listen to. He calls it "Ginger music".
It’s called Vaporwave.

New style intro... Nice!
On the shoe though... laces. Dayum! But durability (especially with your sample) looks pretty good. 👍
Yeah, the durability is a nice surprise!
*seems the lace issue is consistent across all Hoka’s new releases. Laces on Arahi 5 flop around like basset hound ears!
Congrats on the 10 years! You have helped me with many shoe purchases.👍
Great review ...the Mach 4 has been on my shoe shopping list for months... just wish I could buy it.
Seth James De Moor loves it. Tempted to give Hoka’s another try.
Srsly... not a fan of Hoka since the clifton 5, this will be the last chance they get
Thanks for the review! I've been eyeing this as an additional daily trainer. Currently using the Clifton and the Mach now feels compelling enough to mix in to the rotation
Congrats on ten years! Like the new background, really makes the shoes pop. Also nice lighting that makes you pop.
Congrats on the 10 years! Been watching for at least 5, maybe longer
Epic intro! Love the new backdrop. Great review as always
Carbon X2, Endorphin speed, and just ordered and excited to take the Mach 4 for a whirl 🏃🏻♂️
Mach 4 v Novablast - what would you go for? Congrats on 10 years and keep up the great content
@Louie Evan Yes I also hacked Jefferson's ex girlfriend's Instagram account and it was awesome. She also had Novablasts.
I love malt shakes! And I very much look forward to being Deluged with GR vids, and news, and music!

"... a softer Clifton but stiffer Rincon" ??? The Clifton is way more squishy than the Rincon so this doesn't make any sense IMHO
I do believe he simply misspoke and flipped those around. This shoe it seems is right between both of them in terms of cushion

Enjoyed the review. I have been running in Bondi 7s. You are right in that The Hoka lineup is confusing with all their models.
Thanks for the review. I found the build quality to be pretty good but sadly the soles are to hard with no give . Its a difficult thing to quantify because my guess is that for runners around 11 Stones or less may find it a good shoe . For me i can only use it for short harsh miles. Im 13½ stone and found the soul began to wear at 50 miles and i have shoes beyond 1000 miles 😁

Awesome production! Great vid! There's a reason your #1 even after 10 yrs

Been using the NB beacon series for my easy days and long runs, but definitely considering this as a replacement.
I can't wait to buy that shoe 😱😱😱
I buy and is coming on march 3
just picked these up, for just under $100, and then Hoka drop the price to 103.., either way. I am excited to get going in these
Thank you!! I’ve been so curious where this fits in the hoka line up! I’ll wait until either my rincon or Clifton dies before buying
Ethan if it is WIDER than the RINCON then it is WINNER = game over

@Rocco Wesley it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my ass!
@Raylan Jaxton happy to help :)
I'm looking for a yin to my Brooks Ghost yang of daily shoes. This could certainly be it.
i'm third haha waiting for this shoe to sell in my country
Looks like the laces are done up rightly tight! Hoka has issues with size 11+ and uppers, where the eyelets are almost touching.
I thought about the Mach 4 all day yesterday and ordered them first thing this morning. I also bought an Altra Provision 4 because I like zero drop but am too old to go minimalist. I pre ordered the NB RC Elite 2 because gosh darnit, I've been running for a while and I could use a treat. Hopefully these three shoes will last me an eternity, but the truth is I still want a new track shoe. I ran my Golden Spikes into the ground. It's an excellent shoe but any other suggestions?
