Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 5

The left inside heal started to wear away on both shoes twice after the first run. I can't believe this from Hoka. I swapped out the first pair and it is happening again after 1 run. Do not buy the Mach 6. The sole is garbage. I can't believe I spent 150 for these shoes.

I bought Hoka's because I've seen a lot of people wearing them in my neighborhood, but I was really disappointed with their fit and comfort. The insoles are oddly shaped and make my arches hurt. I spoke to two coworkers that also bought the shoes with high hopes that ended up with the same complaint. I guess it's my fault for buying them online without trying them on in the store first.

The shoe does not fit well (perhaps wrong size) and does not look like the pictures (colors are not what I envisioned)

Ive had Clifton's in the past and they were ok, I had Vaporflys, brooks ghost and don't have any issues. I've tried Machs a few months ago but they were narrow. My gf got me a pair of Carbons and they were uncomfortable so we swapped them for these in 2E wide and they are still too narrow. I've worn them a few times on shorter runs and I could feel the discomfort but thought they would be good because I was breaking them in. Then took them out for a 13 mile run today and they ruined the run, they made me feet hurt terribly. My pinky toes felt like they were gonna fall off, I have a blister on my pinky toes that I've never had because they were pushed so far under my other toes, even though I wear toe socks.

Just after two weeks of wearing shoes to school they already have a tear in them.

Thought they were too fluffy with hardly any return.

Store that sell multiple brands of shoes sell you whatever they have available to them. This is after they took my foot measurements and still tried to sell me a shoe that does not fit properly.

I bought these as everyone speaks of how comfortable they are. I put them on for the first time Tuesday mid day. I wore them for 7 hours, some walking but mostly driving. I wore them again Wednesday morning and was on my feet the whole time but I was only walking/standing. Wednesday night my feet hurt, but my right heel was sore. By Friday I could not walk or put any pressure on my right heel. I have never had an issue with Plantar fasciitis before but I am in real pain with it now. My heel aches even when I lay down to sleep. Can I be certain it is these shoes, no I can't, but there were the only new foot wear I have worn and the timing points to them as a cause.

I've put less than 20 miles on them and they already look like the soles need replacing. I am finding this is the norm for Hoka now.

The size was too little

Order the wider shoes you have and they don't fit

The shoes don't fit they rub bigger than expected

Bought these shoes for my son who needed a better quality running shoe. Unfortunately he hates them. The tongue is a huge frustration, it is very flimsy and is always sliding down under the laces. Shoes themselves are giving him blisters and his knees and ankle are now bothering him.

This is my second pair. The first pair filed down after 100 miles and this second pair of Hoka shoes are filing down after only 8 miles of running. Very sad.

If you buy the correct size shoe to fit your feet, your toes will be crushed. I've never wore a wide shoe and these kill my toes!

Toe box even in wide is narrow

I purchased this a few months ago and it is already unwearable because the collar part is torn apart. Just walking, no running..

Bought a brand new pair in January this year. In less than three months of running only a few miles every week, the soles were completely worn out. Didn't even put near 100 miles on them, and they're totally flat and worn down on the bottom. Lost all its grip. Started slipping on the track I would run on. If you're looking for a good stable running shoe, I don't recommend this one.

Doesn't have the support or comfort other shoes have had in the past.

The right running shoe is cut different from the left. I have measured the distance from the inside pad to the outside ridge (by the right ankle bone and the right is higher, resulting in soreness of my ankle bone. This is my third pair.

All of my HOKA's are size 12.5 for some reason this 12.5 is too big frustrating!

At first I loved the shoes. Felt so good to run, but then after my first 5k run I got blisters for the first time in my life.
