Great!

The Hoka Mach Supersonic is a limited release of Hoka's well-loved Mach 4. It's marketed as its racing/speed-oriented sibling. As a racer, it fails. And as a tempo trainer, it doesn't really stand out. But if you want to have a snappy training run, it won't disappoint. Even more, it maintains the defining qualities of the Mach such as lightweight design and propulsive toe-offs.

Both running shoes have more similarities than differences. To solidify its post as a faster version of the Mach 4, the Supersonic sees these changes: 

  • HOKA ONE ONE Speedgoat 4 Gore-Tex
  • a new midsole heightens the rebound. 
  • Botas Hoka One One Kaha GORE-TEX castanho verde.

Weight that doesn't disappoint

Although it's heavier than the Mach 4 (8.2 oz vs. 8.4 oz), the Hoka Supersonic is "light on foot." This is what medio have to say about it. 

They attribute this to the huge rear midfoot cut-out on the outsole.

The overlays lock the foot in place, while the new mesh upper is less stretchy than the Mach 4's upper. 

Even better, it has more volume in the toe box. 

Durability: Solid AF! 

After 40 miles, there's very little wear on the outsole — more or less, cosmetic wear as it does not affect traction.

Because it has plenty of rubber, numerous road runners say that they expect it to last 350 miles before retiring it in their closet. 

Insanely sticky

On wet pavement and icy conditions, there are NO reports of slips. The outsole latches to the ground so well; stability is not an issue.

In warm conditions, the "breathable" upper keeps the foot sweat-free. And when running through puddles, it "drains water quick."

It's not wildly different from the Mach 4, which makes it hard to justify the $20 increase in price (from $130 to $150).
