Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

I love my Clifton 9's and already had a pair of these, and since I loved them both, I purchased these along with another Clifton 9. Gotta say, these have got to be the best I've ever worn. These have the perfect balance between cushion and support, and they look great too! Please don't change these, they're perfect as is!

This is the best version of the Mach so far

These sneakers have the perfect colors and style, they fit is perfect. very comfortable I love them

Great fit, very comfortable. I now how three pairs in the rotation

I am an average dad runner doing 7-15mi per week in various workouts (sprints, tempo, and long runs of about 5mi) all on the road. I have used three Machs before and loved them. However, the Mach 6 feels very unstable, even though I don't need stability shoes. Unlike previous versions, the Mach 6 feels like you are going to roll your ankle in either direction if you make the slightest of turns. I also get quite a bit of heel rub and blisters on these as well. On the plus side, the cushioning is great and still feels light and quick.

Great shoe for walking, working out or running! Very comfortable.

Shoe felt bouncy and soft upon step in, the it just didn't feel right. It felt unstable, and unnatural on foot. This shoe fits an entire size too small, I recommend going a full size up, but then again, I don't know if that will solve the early taper in the toes. If you don't like an aggressive rocker then avoid this shoe as well. Too different than the Mach 5 and I do not recommend.

this is my second pair of the Mach 6 in the last 3 months. different colors of course. very light weight and plenty of cushion. The mach 6 is the most comfortable running shoe I have ever owned and won't go back to my previous brands.

Listen, I love my Hokas. They feel great, yeah they wear out somewhat quickly, but they're more durable and comfortable than onclouds atleast. However nothing infuriates me more than when shoe companies don't have consistent sizing across the board. I own a pair of size 13 Hokas, I should be able to order another pair in the same size and not have to worry about them being too small. Width/tightness differences I can understand, but being too small is ridiculous. My other size 13s fit perfectly, so I ordered another pair and my toes hit the end! Ridiculous! Make your sizes consistent. It's such an inconvenience to not be able to rely on consistent sizes within a company. I shouldn't have a pair size 13s and 14s from the same company that fit the same.

i ran with mach 6 "black/white" over 400 miles and got another pair in "oat milk/barley". I felt they are little different and realized that mach 6 in "oat milk/barley" is little narrow compared to in "black/white". the little difference threw me off a bit when running over 20 mile long running with them. I put average 55 miles/week in mach 6. overall i couldn't be happier with mach 6. I would buy wider mach 6 for "black/white".

For the second pair, within one month of purchase she the fabric on the heal is wearing through. This even though the shoes fit well, and only walking was involved. I will now seek a refund, but am under no illusion that I will receive one. I will not be purchasing HOKA shoes again.

I'm well over 100 miles on these shoes now but I fell in love with them around the 50 mile mark. I was previous racing in Saucony Endorphin Pros and decided it was time to try out something new and I am not at all disappointed. These feel like they have a lot more cushion but still have great bounce. I dont feel like I have any pronation during my run. The thing I like the most is when I pick up speed for that last mile or two to the finish like, it sometimes feels like Im a cartoon character taking big strides from cloud to cloud. I just love these!

I bought this second pair for my husband who is a nurse and he, absolutely, loves them. He finds them to be super light and comfortable, which is a huge plus when you're on your feet 12 hours a day.

Super lite, and the firm outsole is great for bouncing off the concrete.

I bought several mach4 and 5 in the past years and was worried this year's model wasn't gonna be as good but I was wrong! they are even better than last. Little narrow around the toe box

I'm running in the Hoka Mach 6 because it feels very similar to the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3. Unfortunately, Saucony failed miserably with the Endorphin Speed 4, and I had to make the move to Hoka, which I have never tried before. In comparing this shoe to the Endorphin Speed 3, during my first run I noticed some additional impact resistance in the forefoot. However, after a few miles I could no longer distinguish the Hoka Mach 6 from the seven pairs of Saucony Endorphin Speed 3s that I have run through. The shoe may be a bit narrower, but this tightness was alleviated by leaving some paper shoe packaging material inside the shoe overnight. A very nice well made running shoe that I can wear in the cold if needed and buy in conservative colors without being forced to run or race in New Balance stupid pink.

These shoes started squeaking right out of the box. I hoped a couple of runs might break them in and stop the squeak, bit it did not. Otherwise a good running shoe

I had the Mach 5 before the Mach 6. If you have the old version I would highly recommend upgrading! The Mach 6 propels you forward with a nice subtle spring. The reinforced heel feels so good and supportive. I've heard people don't like the tight fit but I love it! It give a great ride and I would recommend these shoes.

This is an amazing shoe. However, advertising the color to be all black is deceiving. They are black and grey, and actually I would say 60% grey/40% black. I run in these and wanted a second pair in all black to wear as a basketball official.

I put 52 miles (84 kM) on these shoes prior to writing this review. As a prior very satisfied runner in the Mach 5, I was skeptical of the changes made to the Mach 6. First try-on: The shoe felt higher off the ground than the Mach 5, a little bouncier, and a little less firm. The toe box had plenty of room for me both side-to-side and vertically (note that I ordered wides, as I usually do). The mid-foot provided a very secure feel. The heal was a little less secure for me than the Mach 5, but it has caused me no problems during any runs. First run: I ran a 7:15/mi interval workout on my first outing. My shoe experience was great. They felt like a Hoka. However, they didn't quite feel like a Mach, yet. Subsequent runs: I ran distances of 2 miles to 14.5 miles (3-23 kM) in these shoes at interval paces ranging from 6:00/mi to 10:30/mi (~3:45-6:30/kM). I also threw a handful of sprints at the shoes. The Mach 6 has broken in nicely, and I could feel the familiar guidance of the Mach series within a couple of runs. For me, the Mach 5 felt best at anything under 9 minutes per mile and began to feel flat for any runs longer than ten miles. This new Mach 6 feels best at a wider range of paces without sacrificing too much at faster paces. They did not feel flat at any point on my 14.5 mile run (all on concrete). Wet traction has been pretty good. Durability: I put over 300 miles (500 kM) on my Mach 5's prior to ordering the Mach 6. At 52 miles, my Mach 6's have a little wear on the newly designed outsole, but nothing concerning. I expect these to be a 400-500 mile (640-800 kM) shoe for my running style and my typical running surfaces (mixed concrete and gravel trail). Final thoughts: Great job Hoka! I was skeptical of the changes, but they have resulted in my favorite running shoe to date.

Super breathable, lightweight, aesthetically appealing, and fast

I have really enjoyed running in my Mach 6 shoes. A highly cushioned running shoe that is very light. This is a daily training shoe for me that is performing well.

This model (MACH 6), is a return to better days! I am a nurse and I have worn HOKA's to work in for over 10 yearsthe first pair I ever wore were like these, but the next 9 pairs were just not as "cushy", though they were cushy enough to get me through the long days on my feet. HOKA, you need to put clouds in EVERY model! Thank you, from the bottom of my "sole" for these shoes!
