Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 5

They're pretty and comfy...but, they're not helping with my supination like I thought they would.

The only gripe I had was that the color I chose looked to be white, blue and red, but instead it was white, purple, and pink.

Super light and comfortable but why is there no grip on the bottom of the shoe?

Good shoe to run in, but the colorways are awful. I bought one in black, but chose to get some ASICS after that due to the awful colors that the Mach 5 comes in. Hoka, please put out some better colorways in the Mach 6! I would've bought 2 more pairs of the Mach 5 if the colors had been better. Instead, I turned to another brand and am discovering that I like the Novablast. Opportunity lost for Hoka.

Great shoe, however they have seemed to break down faster than the other 2 pairs of Mach 5s that I have. I continually rotate my shoes and these have seemed to break down comfort wise.

There isn't loop on the tongue to hold it in place, so it slides down a little bit when you run. Otherwise the shoes are great, but the tongue is a little annoying. 3/5

A lot of cushion. If I was looking to do more distance running they might be good, though they do feel like they might fall apart a little bit after a while. Got the wider size and fit well, really light too.

The cost is high the performance and durability does not match the cost. I put my shoes to the test so far they are not passing the test.

Had great cushion but not wide enough

The performance of the Mach 5 in the heel was to soft for someone running 50 miles a week. The shoe needs to have more of a solid heel to eliminate the pounding on the knees as I run. I love the Clifton 8 & if I continue to purchase Hoka I would love to have a great running shoe.

I only have around 50 miles on this shoe and am both impressed and disappointed. The shoe fits great, very comfortable, and I feel it helps my running. It's light and responsive enough to use as a daily trainer or even race shoe. However, I'm very disappointed with the durability. There are already signs of wear in the outsole similar to what I'd see in other brands around the 150 mile mark. I have serious doubts this shoe will last 200 miles.

The show feels too wide and bulges when tied

I run 3-4 times a week on a treadmill (3 miles per session). I am 58, so I try to produce as little wear and tear as possible. My first HOKA's were Bondi's, which I loved and felt like I was walking/running on clouds. Sadly, the MACH 6 doesn't provide that level of comfort....And when you pay over $100 for running shoes, you want them to be really good. I will be buying Bondi's again and hope at a sale price.

Shoe is very narrow and tight on my foot. Maybe I needed wide size.

have used them for about three weeks. I do walk and run about 7 to 8 miles a day in my workout. They have not lasted. the tread is gone on the back and worn down significantly in the front, so nuch so my right toe catches on the track and I fell today running. No injuries but the tread should last at least three months. I've gotten better wear from other Hokas in the past. Unhappy with this purchase>

This was not the first time that I had Hoka shoes but I wasn't expecting that this one would be so uncomfortable to wear not like my Hoka Mach that I purchased before.

I bought a set of Mach 5 shoes for use on my treadmill to keep up my walking during the winter months. At about 150 miles, the inner material ripped, requiring me to put some moleskin on it to prevent blisters. Then surprisingly, at about 250 miles of use, and only about ~2.5 months of ownership, the sole on my left shoe blew out. After reading the warranty policy, its not clear if this still falls under warranty and with the warranty policy requiring the shoes be sent in before a replacement (leaving me with no shoes), I was forced to buy another set. So I"m hoping this set holds up better because the bottom of the sole was barely worn, but the rest of the shoe around it failed, and the warranty replacement policy doesn't help if you need a set of shoes to continue working out. Overall disappointed. Hopefully this set is better.

I've purchased a half a dozen Mach shoes 4's and 5's. Unfortunately this new pair is on its way back for an exchange. My weight, weekly mileage and running courses have not changed, but this shoe was significantly smaller and stiffer than any other Mach 5 that I've ever worn. I recently had a pair of Clifton's that are also too small to run in, I can only wear them in Hotels when traveling for work. My fingers are crossed that the replacements fit, training for my 21st Boston Marathon. MK
