Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 5

This is the second pair I have purchased. The first pair had holes in 3 months. They didn't wear well at all and I had to replace the inside sole after 5. I purchased my second pair hoping this one would fit better and I would have more luck. But I don't like the way these fit. So im not very happy with my purchases.

I like how they look. I like how they feel. I like how they fit. But they squeak when I walk. Very annoying. Every step makes a noise. Even on carpet tho somewhat subdued. Can I return even if they are a little dirty on soles? I kept thinking they would stop squeaking if I wore them around the house. But no luck.

Hoping for the support for my legs while I was on my feet all day. I love the shoe but comfort wasn't there Very disappointed I would caution people to try on slot of shoes before they purchase. I ordered on line from others recommending them. Wasn't a store close enough for me to try on

They are comfortable when I first put them on but then a few hours into a long day, they are like walking long miles barefoot. They feel to big, by about a half size, but a size smaller feels tight on my toes.

I was really happy when I just received my shoes. But after less than a month of me wearing it, the colour on the bottom started to come off which is very upsetting.

Sooo disappointed. My feet look like they are swimming in these shoes. I have narrow/medium width. Needed another pair of black. Purchased same size as usual, wore them out to work, during the day looked down and realized how clunky they look on my feet, like mens. Ugh!! I am still going to wear them but not excitedly.

Just beware that they run big. They are about a half size too large.

I PURCHASED THEM TO WEAR WHILE WORKING OUT (FITNESS CLASSES LIKE ZUMBA, AND WALKING AND USING THE ELLIPTICAL). WHEN I FIRST PUT THEM ON THEY SEEMED CUSHIONY AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE GREAT AS MY FEET ARE ACHY ALL THE TIME. BUT WHEN I TOOK A ZUMBA CLASS AND TRIED THE ELLIPTICAL THEY DID NOT SEEM VERY COMFORTABLE. I EVEN PURCHASED A SIZE I NORMALLY WOULD GET, BUT RETURNED FOR A SMALLER SIZE, AND STILL THEY WERE NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.

While hoka makes a great quality shoe, the Mach's fitting was too narrow. Ordered a wide and it just did not deliver.

Sure, the shoes are comfortable to wear but I had to return them. They make my feet look HUGE. Not a cute look.

I got the wrong color and returned them . Then after getting the correct color and trying the sneakers I noticed they are too narrow for me . I returned the exchanged sneakers also. I should get a credit for it.

I bought these after wearing nikes for my entire life. Initially, I was very excited. The shoes are extremely soft and comfortable. That said, as I started to run in them, I suddenly started to experience knee pain. After running 6 miles in these shoes, I knew I needed to return them. I have been unable to run for 2 weeks now because of the pain these shoes caused. I would only recommend them for casual, everyday wear.

I Have foot problems so I have to be picky with a shoe. I wont get these again, but if you need a good shoe get the Biondo 8! They are anazing.

I've put about 100 miles on these shoes during xc and the bottom is already completely worn out. Normally running shoes last 300-500 miles before they wear out but these definitely do not. I really like them though, other than the fact that they don't last.

This shoe is great, very comfortable, good cushion, reminds me of the Clifton but this shoe feels more light weight, it feels like a racing shoe but also an everyday running shoe, good for sprints or long distance, BUT the tongue constantly is slipping down because the shoe is made without a tongue loop. Every time I run in them I have to stop and pull the tongue up multiple times during my run which makes them a shoe I don't want to race in. I'm not sure why they got rid of the tongue loop :(

I wanted to love these shoes, but they don't feel supportive. . I feel off balance with the thick soles and light top materials

I bought these for walking and work, they aren't comfortable. When I get home from work, my feet are burning. I bought these because I have talked to people that have them, and have helped them. It doesn't help with my knee or hip. I can't say I would recommend these shoes.

I've been wearing Mach 4's for training and racing and was super excited about the Mach 5....until I wore them. I've tried different sizes, run several times in them, and unfortunately returned them. They are not as responsive as the 4's and don't give you that zippy feeling from the rocker that the 4's do. I also really struggled with the upper as it's not forgiving in the toe box. I decided to give the Mach Supersonic and shot and am beyond grateful for this magnificent shoe. I felt fast, zippy, and after a 10 mile run at 7:30 pace, my legs feel like new. If you are looking for a shoe with fun colors and walking around comfort, then the Mach 5 is for you. If you are looking for a responsive, fast, comfortable running shoe for running, head to the Mach Supersonic...and beg Hoka to keep making it!

I was so looking forward to wearing these tennis shoes as I have always worn Asic Gel Kayano. The bottom is so slippery without any traction and I feel as if there isn't any support. I will be going back to my Asics, a huge waste of money. The Gel Kayano is less expensive and a much better shoe. Save your money

I am a nurse. 12 hours on my feet. I was hoping that these would really give my feet the extra support they need. I will continue to try other shoes.

The footbed is set up different than other hoka shoes I own. Started having trouble with my back after I wore them for a week.
