I average him running 75 yards in 8 seconds, that would round down to 4.26 per 40 yards, close to his 4.21 but he I did not start counting the yardage till he was about full speed.
I am sure the start costs everyone a different amount of time. If my memory serves me correctly and I had to take guys word for it as guys that ran 4.4-4.5 in tennis shoes on a hard artificial track path claimed to run 9.6-9.8 100's on a natural track with track shoes. So that means at a running start those guys would cover 40 yards from 3.84-3.92. To me that shoes even with a margin of error the guy is slowing down. I timed a lot of 40's playing college football working with guys including me trying to get faster. I had this one brother watch me run for the first time and said I looked like a man drowning in a pool that did not know how to swim. Since he medaled at state level in HS in Florida I took his word for it. Adding some leg work and learning a more fluid running style he got me down .25 in about a years time.
