Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

Love these Hoka tennis shoes. My son is thrilled to own a pair. Great color and fits true to size. So comfortable.. I highly recommend these tennis shoes.

I have several pairs of Hokas already and bought these for my son. He is now hooked on Hoka too. Comfiest shoes he's ever worn he said.

I've owned and worn to death pairs of Mach 2, 3 and 4. They've long been among my favorite shoes and lured me into Hoka. The Mach 6 is all that I loved and more. Very cushy and yet fast. Maybe on the tighter side but still a good fit.

I have two pair. One for everyday use and one for running. I don't have any issues with the shoes myself.

Unfortunately had to return due to size too big. Usuwears a 10 but this was too big and bit more flat than I would prefer. My 1st was Bondi 7. Which I love so the confusion for NYC pavement running. Very soft on the landing.

I have multiple pairs of the Mach 5 to compare the Mach 6 to. The Mach 6 is styled differently and its not an improvement. The shoe feels narrower and tight; the construction appears to be less sturdy, and the soles appears to have minimal tread. Hoka, what did you do to a Great shoe?

I need to exchange for a half size smaller

Have multiple pairs of Mach 5 which were comfortable, wore well, and the sole lasted a long time. Needed a new pair and tried the Mach 6 which has a much tighter feel, appear to use thinner materials, and the bottom sole is totally different since it has minimal tread and the tread looks like it could easily come apart since the bottom sole is not molded as one piece. Hoka, why did you make these changes on the Mach series when the Mach 5 was great?

After years of searching, I fell in love with the Mach 5, the best running shoe I had ever found to fit me...; with my choices now limited, I decided to go with the Mach 6. It is an excellent running shoe but does not provide the comfort or adequate toe box the Mach 5 did. A decent daily runner, but not the same

Very nice fit and good bounce and support - absolutely love it !!! I wish I had got it sooner .. stayed loyal to Nike for too long - Nola is much better quality for a better price .. Move over Nike - there is a new sherif in town.

Second week in, already seeing improvement in speed and recovery. Great shoes so far.

I've had a few pair of Hokas these mack sixes are the best that I've had very comfortable just right on the cushion leans me back just a hair on my heel keeps my toes from shoving forward. These are the best.

I bought these shoes because I loved the Mach 5 and wanted another pair just like them. But this year's version of this shoe is very different. It's good in its own way, but not like the Mach 5.

Bought some Mach 6s after having several pairs of Mach 5s. Used for road running. Thought the 6s would be similar to the 5s. They are not. Overall fit is good, but the tread is awful. After a couple weeks of running the heal tread is way down. The toe tread is just plain bad. If the roads are wet, which is often the case in the PNW, you'll have no traction and very little grip for climbing. Really disappointed with these. Purchased a bunch of Hokas in the past and always enjoyed them. These are the first real duds. Can't recommend these.

Although I am a long time runner, this is my first Hoka and it is well worth the money. Great bounce and cushion. I have worn it for ~100 miles so far and it is going great. Feels a bit squishy in the first couple of runs because of all the cushion until you get used to the feeling. A note on sizing - I usually wear Brooks Ghost size 11D (0.5 bigger than my regular size). The recommended size was 10.5 on the site while purchasing. Turns out that size was small, I could feel the toes sticking out during a 6 miler. I exchanged them for 11, and they are perfect. Done a couple of 20 milers in them without problem. I intend the wear them during a marathon in a few weeks.

I purchased my first pair of HOKA's in 2022 - a Mach 5. I absolutely LOVED this shoe. It fit like a glove, felt like a cloud, and was so comfortable for running and walking. Over the course of 1-2 years, I walked and ran hundreds, if not thousands of miles in my Mach 5's. Unfortunately, the time had come for a new pair, but Mach 5's were being phased out. I figured a Mach 6 would not be terribly different. Well, I was wrong. While the shoe has a nice aesthetic look, I noticed that A) the shoe felt a lot tighter on my foot than the Mach 5 and B) after a couple weeks the toe tip started to feel very hard/rigid. I reached out to HOKA Customer Support and filed a warranty claim, requesting a replacement pair thinking it was a one-off issue. Upon receiving the new pair and wearing them a couple of weeks, I realized the issue prevailed, and it was clear that the issue was this shoe model. To go from having a shoe I absolutely loved to a newer model of the same shoe and being severely let down was not the best experience. I ended up filing another warranty claim and was issued a refund. There might be another HOKA model out there I will like as much as the Mach 5's, but the Mach 6's was not it.

I've only run about 20km in these so far but they feel great and I'm enjoying them. I bought these and a pair of Skyflows at the same time. The Skyflows felt a little narrow at first (they've loosened up a bit so it's not an issue). The Mach 6's did not. They've felt good right from the start. Fits true to size and there's a reasonable amount of room in the toe-box. I'm looking forward to using these.

I would call these shoes black / grey vs. black on black.. I purchased for refereeing basketball and was disappointed that it wasn't truly black/black. While the photos on the site did have some color variance the shoes were much more drastic in the color difference.

I bought a pair about 3 months ago at a running shoe store because they felt good on the treadmill and were at a good price. Upon first putting them on they initially felt better than any other shoe I'd tried. After a week of running about 4 miles a day, I started to have issues. The front is designed horribly and uses terrible materials. As a result, I've taken my socks off to find my toes bloody because of how bad they are. They might seem to have good energy return, but after some use you notice how little support they really give.

I had to return my first ones to get a half size up and wider. My on cloud shoes are good and these are very competitive with them. I'll eventually get another HOKA pair.

I love the feel of the Mach 6 when first worn out of the box with one big exception...It is a bit narrow in a size D and is a bit more narrow than the Mach 5. That being said, it is a very bouncy, energetic shoe for about 100 miles. After that, the rocker becomes less pronounced, and the bouncy feeling in the mid-sole declines. Could be Hoka's best shoe if they can correct the "narrow fit" and add some life to the shoe.

Super light and responsive. Provides ample support, also. Color schemes are ALL rad!!

I'm a marathon runner (~2:55) - 5'11, 150lbs - I run about 60mpw and these are my favorite tempo shoes. Extremely responsive and they just feel good. I've tried adidas Boston 12s and new balance rebels v4 and these blow them out of the water by a mile.
