5/5
Overall
I tried the Mach 4 because the Bondi 8 felt stiffer than I'm used to (from wearing Bondi 6, 7, etc.) when I tried it on. Liked the Mach right away; good cushioning, lighter than the Bondi. Have worn it for several months and no complaints yet.

Overall
Very light, medium drop (5mm), easy toe- in or heal-out, great looking, sufficient cushion.
I did hurt my toe nail but not because of the shoe. It was just the milage.
It's a great road running shoe for everyone. My longest was 13.1 and it felt great.

Overall
I have run in several pairs of the Clifton 2, The Vanquish 1 and 2, the Arahi 1 and 2, and now the Mach 4. It feels like every time I try a new HOKA shoe it honestly performs better than the last. Granted, my mileage per week is SUPER LOW at this point (like 6-10), but I tend to judge shoes based on total mileage in them, and these have performed as well as if not better than the other HOKA's i've worn up to 450 miles. They're really light, and have a really good amount of cushion (I do max effort sprints once a week generally, and I honestly prefer to wear these over my flats just because they almost feel as light as the flats, and have so much support).
