Whenever I buy an EVA shoe with the intention of using it for running it ends up being a waste of money. The midsole never makes it to 100 kilometers, much less miles. Doesn't matter what brand the shoe is. EVA just sucks for running.

I ran two full marathons including multiple LSD with Mach 5. About 350 miles on them, still going strong. I agree with Rincon. It lost cushion and bouncy around 200miles
I can see that. The ProFly+ midsole core in the Mach 5 is dramatically better than the crap HOKA used in the Mach 4. So far I have only ran in the Mach 5 a few times. Might have 60 miles on them. The ProFly+ is showing no signs of packing out. There's no creases whatsoever. Amazing for an EVA midsole.
Contrast this with my experience with the Mach 4. The midsole developed deep creases after the very first run and lost its bounce after the third run. That aggravated me. I got the Mach 4 for a steep discount to the MSRP but I still feel cheated.
I'm currently nursing an injury but when I get back to running I plan to use the Mach 5 more often. However, I'm fully committed to plated superfoam shoes. I don't think I will bother purchasing another EVA shoe ever again. Unless there's a really HUGE discount or sale it just doesn't make sense imo to buy EVA shoes.
Are the Clifton 9s good?

What do you use now
For running I mainly use Saucony Endorphin Speeds. Both version 2 and 3. V3 has a better upper and a more stable heel. Slightly better traction too. I also use the Puma Deviate Nitro 2. Has a decent midsole with a very grippy outsole. I also have a pair of Saucony Rifts for trail running. These are really nice. Excellent midsole and a very durable outsole. Upper is a little weird in design but hasn't caused me any problems.
