Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

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.

I have 4 sets of Hokas and the last pair has the least cushioning of all. I bought them as I wear them to play tennis and this model had soles that do not dig up clay courts as my other more comfortable Hokas do.

When I first put these shoes on, I was immediately impressed by the great cushioning. When I later went out to walk I realized that the heel is significantly lower than the rest of the shoe. While that may be ideal for some people, it puts torque on my knees, and I absolutely cannot use them. I have tried the Clifton and the Bondi in the past, and they too seem to have the lower heel. It may be an illusion because of a high arch? I don't know, but I am disappointed that I can't find a model that works for me. The Hoka cushioning is great, but the architecture just doesn't work for me.

Not comfortable at all. Superrrr narrow for skinny feet people. The cusion is decent but I feel like they forced me to invert the sole a bit. Ran 5 miles in em and hurt my feet. Going back to the Clifton 9s I guess. I typically wear a 9-9.5 I got the Mach 6 in 9.5 and they're still too snug/tight. I like the way they look but it's not a good shoe to run in.

I've owned and liked previous Mach versions. The Mach 6 seems to have had a bad makeover. The fit is way too tight especially at the knuckle of the big toe and the cushioning that made this shoe perfect for daily running has been reduced/replaced with a hard plastic on the sole. Overall feel the shoe has been cheapened. I will be returning.

Poor upper materials, including tongue.

I have a pair of March 5's that I have completely worn out. Thought I would try the Mach 6 version. I must say that they hurt my feet, seem to be very constricted in the toe box and are painful to wear. I purchased the same size as I have previously ( also have a pair of Clifton 9 that I love) I would really like to send them back. I have worn them 2 times and each time my feet are hurting before the end of the day.

I liked the Mach 5 so much that I bought 3 pairs of them. The Mach 6 sizing seems quite different as the fit is too tight both in length and width compared to my other shoes with same sizing. Hopefully this sizing consistency gets addressed as many other reviewers are complaining about the same thing. I will be skipping the Mach 6.

Pros: lightweight. Cons: they hurt so much to run in. These make me miss my Mach 5's so much. Anything past 2 miles is a terrible pulsing pain that lasts long beyond the duration of my run.

I have worn out several pairs of Mach 5s. They have been my favorite running shoes ever. I was excited to try the Mach 6. I bought the same size as my 5s, and I bought 1/2 a size up based on these reviews. I ended up needing the larger size. They look great, and I like the materials. I could tell that they were more cushioned than the 5s. However, my arches were screaming from the start, and they never really felt right throughout the whole first run. I decided to give them another run, and it was the exact same. I had to return them. I am so disappointed. They may end up being great shoes for someone, but they are not what the 5s were. I tried to sort out what was not working for me. The arch support just isn't there anymore. That was the main point. Second, I noticed that the entire inside of my foot doesn't feel supported, and as I step, my foot is sort of rolling inward. If I forced myself to run landing on full heel strike, it would rock smoothly and feel fine, but if I put my foot down in any other motion, it would start to roll in and cause some discomfort.
