Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

I had Mach 5's and love them. Bought Mach 6 because you can't get Mach 5 anymore and the were too narrow.

Nice shoes, but compared to my Bondis, feels rather narrow up front. And wouldn't buy again.

I have had 5 pairs of Machs. First 3 8.5, my last pair of mach 6 were way too small so I figured the new ones just ran small. So, i ordered a 9 for my 2nd pair of Mach 6 and they are huge. I stuck with the Machs so i could just order every 4 months, defeats the purpose if i have to find a store and try on every time.

These shoes are decent but not the cushioning I was hoping for. I have been having bad heel pain with my left foot, and so far these have not done much to relieve the pain. I expected better results, especially considering the price of these shoes.

These are great to walk and run in. Adding the rubber layer on the bottom has slowed down the wear that happens to the foam for the most part, however at the heel of the shoe inbetween the rubber layers both shoes have worn in a cupped manner. Now, when I walk on smooth surfaces, I get a suction cup effect (and noise) for every step.

I purchased Mach 6 because of how much I loved the Mach 5. The Mach 6 changes make the shoe almost unbearable and my feet hurt at the end of the day. The Mach 5 was perfect.

The 5s are much better in my opinion. The 6s are way way to squishy and caused my calves and feet to be very sore through my first few runs. Maybe long term it would be good for overall foot strength but im not liking them. Again just my experience/opinion.

This is my second try with Hokas. Still not a fan for the cost. Love the colors, but just underwhelmed. Kept them because it's hard to find something decent for much less.

Tread wearing significantly at 35 miles of use on pavement.

For the price not worth it. They will break down fast. Especially if your on your feet a lot. They fit good just not enough support for being on type feet all day working.

I just picked these up to be my new running trainer and was so excited to break them in. After literally my first 5k run with them, when I took them off my socks were blue where the tongue of each shoe has pressed against. I guess overall I don't have any complaints at all with the feel of the shoe, but I'm going to be annoyed if this color bleeding persists.

My experience has been good, but certainly not perfect in the HOKA MACH 6. The shoe build quality is solid, - I'm good with the drop, rebound, and lightweightness of it all, but for me I have a tendency to run a little towards the outside of my foot and boy does the MACH 6 not let you forget it, by mile the end of mile 2 in my daily 5k, I can feel the outer edge material practically scraping against the outside of my foot. Purchased some Balega Blister resist socks that offset most of this. Size runs a little small. You may want to go a half-size larger.

Smaller than previous models and less cushioning

I have worn a 10 in Hokas in every pair I've purchased since 2015. The Mach 6's I recently purchased were extremely tight and uncomfortable. Had to replace them.

Shoes are a little tight. I'm normally a non-wide width shoe person, but these are very tight, particularly before broken in.

I bought these sneakers for my daughter for track. She is a distant runner and prefers sneakers over track shoes. She has a couple of the Mach 5's, which she loves, and a pair of the Clifton 8. I wanted to get her another pair for this season, so I got the black ones of the Mach 6. Just not the same. They seem more narrower, like Clifton 8, and the material is a bit thicker, like Clifton 8. The bottom of the shoe is totally different than Mach 5 but more like the Clifton. I had to actually look at the sneakers to make sure they sent to correct ones! I sure hope they go back to Mach 5 and have better colors. If you can make a black shoe with bright pink and white features with white soles, that would be amazing. Thanks!

Because I love HOKA products up to this point I am going to try these out! They do not seem as well made as the HOKA Bondi or the Clifton. I love HOKA and they have never let me down. I will hold my true opinion until later. I am hard on shoes in general and these do not seem like they will hold up. We will see!!!!! I hope I did the right thing.

I ordered these in black and when the purple dropped i knew I had to have them too. Unfortunately it appears the soles of the shoes were glued on crooked in mass production. It's not noticeable unless pointed out.... but I know it's there. Otherwise I love them.

I have two other Mach 6 at size 10.5, they feel just roomy for me in the toe box. However, the ones I just purchased were undersized. They feel closer to a size 10 and are not as comfortable.

Firmer - not sure if I like it yet. Narrower- hate this part most. More tread - better, probably will last longer. More rocker to it - okay. Overall, I don't like as much as prior versions, mostly due to the narrow fit.

I have to order wide sizes, and have had great prior experiences ordering wides here at Hoka. This shoe, though sized wide, squeezed my big toe pretty bad. Also, the shoe is soft to the point of feeling unstable. I had heard that about Hokas,but not experienced it to this extent before. The shoe looks great.

I really wanted to like this shoe. The new rubber outsole made it much grippier and the foam stack is light and responsive just like the mach5. Unfortunately the sizing on this shoe is way off. In addition to feeling a bit narrower than the previous shoe, the shoe also runs short. I wear the same size in all other hoka products but would likely order a wide and a half size up in this shoe.
