Hoka

Mach 6

Men's

I'm a woman but I purchased these in men's because they don't make pink in women's wide and I know a men's regular is equivalent to women's wide. I wear size 11 women and can wear size 10 or 9.5 in men's, depending on the model. These seem to work well in size 10 for me as they run small. The width is perfect. I think these shoes could be good for everyday training and racing. They allow good ground contact without causing toe pain from my left great toe hallux rigidus. I was concerned they wouldn't be stable enough due to other comments but I find them to be quite stable. I count this shoe as a win!

First the shoe is great! I use them for my everyday trainer. Just be aware that the Mach 6 is different then the Mach 5. They have fixed many things in my opinion to make this a much better shoe then the Mach 5. They fixed the "sloppy" toe box (in my opinion). The toe box is now narrower and fits much like many other running shoes I've had in the past. The stitching is different which also makes the shoe feel "smaller" in size. My Mach 5 (and every other shoe I've worn for 20 years have been a good fit at size 10.5us. The Mach 6 is very different. My toes are cramped at the end of the shoe so I had to send back and reorder a size 11us. I have not received them yet but will update to let everyone know how these new ones fit. I am guessing though that the extra half size will be perfect. So in my opinion if you liked the Mach 5 you will Love the Mach 6 if you order up half a size.

I cannot tell you how many Hoka's I own. When I heard that my favorite Mach 5's were being discontinued, I was super upset. So I went and bought as many of them as I could before they were completely gone. Then I decided to try the Mach 6's. I just purchased my 3rd pair. Love them as much as the 5's. Thanks, HOKA!

I was suffering from plantar fasciitis, as well as Achilles tendinitis over the years and when it flares up was unable to run. I read about this model of Hoka and it did everything. It said it would between the stability of the yield and the extra cushioning I need. Now I'm back to running. I'm glad my pain has Subsided.

I read the read all the reviews and I was super skeptical about buying but I gave them a try since I caught them on sale and boy was I impressed after just finishing my first 3mile walk in the SC heat! The response it gives and the support is unbelievable also I no longer have ankle pain because finally back in HOKAS . SATISFIED
