So far so good
I may come back and change my vote here. So far the shoes are good though I only have about 70 trail miles on them so far with Smartwool socks. They feel like they might be a little narrow. It would be nice if there were a 13 wide. Though no blisters on the pinky toe so far. In one 40mile loop ...

Cushy, Clunky, Clown Shoes
First off, huge ups to HOKA for getting me back into running after 15 years off with the original Stinson ATR. That shoe was a max-cushioned but nimble beast that felt right at home on the trails of the Colorado Front Range. I then graduated to the Speedgoat until they started feeling like monster t...

First pair of Hokas, a game changer!
I'm coming to Hokas from a zero-drop, neutral platform so these Mafate Speed 4's with the 4mm drop are my first test…. And they are a GAME CHANGER! The responsive cushioning and the slight heel/toe drop have truly revolutionized my comfort level and alleviated my low back pain!
love hoka but this particular model so-so
i purchased many Hoka shoes and styles this one looks great but the fit the feel was not on target
Mach 4
Not as comfortable as the Bondi 8 and 9 they have much more cushioning. Mark four has a good grip and fit wish it have more cushioning.
Hoka shoes
I bought them as a gift for my husband and he loves them. He has trouble with his feet but these are working great for him.
Love the quality
I wear these everyday for just the amazing support. Love these!!
Perfect for my purposes...
I purchased these shoes to play golf while walking 18 holes 4 times a week. They are better than all similar priced "golf shoes" I have ever owened.
Exactly what I wanted
I bought this shoe for trail hiking and jogging. I was hoping they would also work well on the treadmill, and they do. Very comfortable, with lots of support. They fit exactly as expected.
Yes
I've got about 50 miles on the Hoka Mafate Speed 4 now and so far and I really like them. For me, they fit much better than the Speedgoat. The traction is excellent and they are very comfortable. They seem to be good quality and I hope to get many, many miles on them.
Shoe performs better than expected.
I use this shoe for hiking and as a golf shoe. Preforms excellent for both activities.
Not like previous models
This show did not fit at all. Felt tight and narrow although it was sized the same as previous models purchased. Materials felt stiff an cheap. Kinda disappointed

Official Response by HOKA ONE ONE
When you are used to the feel of a certain style of shoe, it can come as a surprise to find the new version has differences you aren't fond of. If the Mafate Speed 4 are too tight for you, we suggest you check out our Challenger 7 style. They even come in wide widths, as well. You can look into the specs of them using our shoe finder quiz linked here: bit.ly/HOKAShoeFinder.
