Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

I have been wearing the Mach 5 series but they are no longer an option . These new Mach 6 series are not as comfortable as the 5.. They must have changed sole technology .

I love the color of these shoes, the fit, and the cushion.

These are a bit narrower than previous versions so I purchased 1/2 a size larger. The outer sole is very noisy, slippery and not as rubbery. I love my previous Machs. I am currently rotating two pairs of Mach 5s that I purchased in May. I also had three pairs of Mach 4s. I was looking for a newer model for a half marathon on Dec 1st. I wanted to love these but was so disappointed :-(((. PLEASE BRING BACK THE MACH 5.

Love these sneaks! Comfy and cute

Hoka is the worst running company at the rate they are going and their product continue to deteriorate in quality. They used to be amazing, and now, their customer service falls so far from appropriate and I would never recommend anyone to purchase a single product from them. I have order these exact shoes for years, and have loved them. I noticed recently they were not lasting as long as they used to, and my running habits have remained unchanged. I recently ordered a new pair and they first sent me a faulty pair. They then took my money and refused to send me another pair of shoes in a timely manner to get me running again after a UPS hiccup when sending the replacement. I now have no shoes, and "waiting on a refund" and have been out of running shoes for two weeks unexpectedly. I guess it is finally time go back to asics or try a brand that does* take care of their loyal customers.

I used this pair in Europe for 3 weeks. Replaced the insole with a much better one which helped a lot walking in those cobble stones. Things that need improvement. The tounge is a tad too short, it was always a struggle to put on shoes due to tounge getting stuck inside of shoe, quite annoying. Please improve your insoles, it's way too thin.

I started with Hoka by owning a pair of Cliftons, but the Mach is my new favorite shoe. I keep it simple right now and just use the same pair for all my half-marathon training (slow easy runs, speed work, long runs, racing) - these fit the bill. I guess you could say, "if the shoe fits" and it does :)

Generally speaking Hoka brand sneakers have been like bedroom slippers straight out of the box, but these not so much. There's a weird bump on the instep and the sides are stiff. Just a little note to consider if you decide to purchase these.

Fells like I have pillows under my feet.

I've been buying 3 pairs of Hoka shoes per year since 2021. I got a pair of Cliftons recently that squish my pinky toes. My usual go to is the Rincon but opted for the Mach this time since they're available in wide sizes. The Rincon had a bunch of reviews saying the new ones are too narrow. And to my sad surprise, these "wide" ones are not wide at all. I placed them next to my "regular width" Cliftons and they look the same. Very uncomfortable.

I wasn't sure if I would like these because I have the Bondi and the Cliftons and I am used to the comfort of those for Plantar Fasciitis. I bought these to use as my workout shoes and I don't like them, I LOVE them!!! They have just the right amount of cushion to help with my PF, that I am actually enjoying working out pain free! Highly recommend, even if you don't have PF!

Like all Hoka shoes, these are cushiony and well made. I do wish this style came in Wide, though.

I loved mach 5 but I love mach 6 even more! They are so light and comfortable. Before I bought my 1st pair my lower back hurt all the time and my legs hurt after leaving the gym. But since I started wearing Hoka mach 5 & 6 the back pain leg pain is gone!! I wish they would make a sage green color or olive green color especially for the fall. They have that color in men's!!

So far so good! Comfortable and great cushioning! Extremely light weight as o run distances! Great product!

I have been running in the Mach since the version 4, the 5 was amazing, the 6 is a little too soft for me but I still really like it. I alternate shoes, so it's still in the mix. They feel good and look great!

Wear the shoes to walk and to the gym

Still the best running shoe I've ever used in my 30 years of running. Nice color too, although running after Hurricanes Milton didn't help the looks of them. lol.

Love the colors. First time trying Mach 6. Have 2 prs Bondi 8. I like the Bondi best for cushioning ,& keeping my ankles from turning inward.

I was so sad when my favorite Mach 5's finally wore out, and was hesitant to try the Mach 6 after reading some negative reviews. Do not believe the negative reviews!! The Mach 6 is just as awesome as the 5soooo comfy! Please make them with bright colors-with multicolored soles. I got the White/Lettuce, which I love, but hope the white sole stays clean. I usually prefer the colored soles for that reason. Thank you for keeping my feet comfy, Hoka!

I am a 60+ year old female runner. I like the feel of the Mach 6 vs the Mach 5. However, I run 2.5 miles twice a week and then walk another 2.5 miles.. I use other sneakers for other days of walking and fitness activities. This shoe wore out in 8 weeks.

Love Mach 5. These are more elevated and throw off my gait but They are lovely and I'll get used to them. Comfortable

I've tried different brands of sneakers and I have to say that HOKA is one of my favorites. It provides better support and cushion when I run. I've always had an issue with my knees and ankles. This is my first time running in Mach 6. It is comfortable and my knee issues have lessened. The problem I have with this version is the narrowness. My normal size is 7.5D. I try not to purchase beyond 7.5 only because I find the top of the shoe tends to flip upward if it is too long, making it look like genie shoes. 7.5D was too narrow so I hesitantly tried 8D. It actually is not that much longer and the widest part of my foot aligns with the widest part of the shoe and so far, no issues with my feet hurting/blistering after a run. Didn't like the Clifton 9 due to the extreme duckbill. Bondi felt like too much cushion. The color options for the Mach 6 wide version is limited.
