Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

I've been a dedicated fan of the Hoka Mach series for several years, wearing nothing else for my runs. I currently have six pairs in my garage, all in size 10.5, but frustratingly, each one fits differently. Some have a spacious toe box, while others feel uncomfortably tight. A few pairs run long, but the newer models seem noticeably shorter. After my most recent purchase, I've decided it's time to switch to a different shoethe sizing inconsistency is just too unreliable and aggravating.

Never use these shoes for golf it always keeps me imbalanced

I have been wearing Hoka Mach 6 running shoes for the past three years. I have been using them as a everyday shoe due to the comfort they provide. However, the last two pairs I have purchased, one pair directly from Hoka and the other from a large sporting goods chain. Both pairs squeak when walking. One pair I stopped using as it was embarrassing to be walking by people at work hearing then squeak so much.

I've always heard great things about Hoka shoes, so I decided to order a pair during the Christmas sale. Unfortunately, I'm a bit disappointed. The shoes are very comfortable, but I don't feel stable in them it's like standing on a boat that rocks back and forth. Maybe Hoka just isn't the right fit for me, but I can see how others might enjoy the cushioning and comfort.

The shoes were very comfortable the first 30 days then after that, the poor quality began to show. Not good support!

Uncomfortable

Maybe the design has changed? My recent purchase is not as comfortable as the first purchase about 1 year earlier.

Love the fit, feel and comfort, but after only 15 miles the bottoms are already wearing off. My sky flows had 100 miles before I noticed wear. Disappointing.

This shoe is narrow. Seems the right shoe is more narrow than the left. This feel is more spongythan I like. I like a responsive to the ground connection feel. What has happened with Hoka. I can't seem to find anything close to the torrent 2. Why change a good thing? Make a wider toe box with high instep responsive feel. This cloud feeling is unbalanced.

These at first felt like they were going to work great. They are lightweight and cushiony. However, after wearing them for 1 day on my feet for 10 hours my feet hurt and they rubbed my raw on the soles of my feet.

This is my 4th pair of Mach 6. Same size. Have always loved them. This 9 1/2 is so tight I can't wear them. They've been worn so can't return. Bummed.

I'm very disappointed because I ordered a pair of black tennis shoes from hookah and they send me smoke gray. I cannot work in that color. This is the second time I ordered black and did not get black. How can I return them please please

Mach 5 is better and wider. These are too tight for my feet.

This is the first Mach series I have NOT liked. I've been running in Machs for the past 6 years but the Mach 6 really missed for me. I find the sizing to be much smaller. I've always worn 8.5 and have very narrow feet but the Mach 6s give me blisters. The toe box shape seemed to have changed too. I don't find them to be as springy feeling and my feet feel tired after my runs and I never experienced this with the past Mach.

Had to return because the shoe was too tight. Returned and received refund very promptly!!

Put 80 miles on the new Mach 6 design. They definitely do not have the same cushioning as the Mach 5. My feet feels like cramping every time I've worn it. I was really hoping it just needed to be broken in but after almost 2 months I'm returning them. Disappointing. I've only worn Hokas for all my running (half marathons and marathons) and this year Hoka's designs don't look promising. I wish I would've bought 2 of the Mach 5s. The ProFly+ was so good and I wish they didn't take it away from the design. The shoe is still light and the wide width was comfortable tho.

the heals squeaks really bad when walking and it is annoying.. I was hoping they would stop but it still doing it and getting worse...would like to send back for different pair

Left lg big toe feels uncomfortable Something wrong with it

I returned these shoes for exchange as they lacked the normal pillowy feel that Hokas normally have. They were somewhat tight (size 11D) with an abbreviated tongue & had a very stiff feel to them. The Clifton 9's which I received in exchange also had issues. They were big & boxy & lacked any responsiveness. I don't recall Cliftons in the past feeling so overwhelmingly clunky. I would not purchase either of these models in the future.

Returning as these have not held up with standard use. Foam on back of one coming away and allowing water in. This is the first of about 10 previous pairs where I've had an issue, so will put it down to once and a while, you are bound to get a dud.

I had the Hoka Mach 5's and thought a similar size for the newer version would fit similarly. However, the Mach 6 runs a whole size smaller, feeling tighter in both width and length. Hopefully a size up will solve the issue, but certainly a big variance in fit from one generation to the next.
