Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

Hello. So I used these for mainly training for the NYC marathon annd Chicago marathon and not for racing. Sadly I got quite a lot of mileage with them for training but after a while they hurt my feet and my knees ached so I wore them til I couldn't anymore. I loved them for many miles tho but not for racing but more for my short under 10 mile runs. Still I find them to be a great shoe for a more faster runner who isn't as thick as I am haha. I'm a proud plus para athlete and world marathoner (4x to be 6x) soon. They are a great shoe but only for training for me. Ty Hoka still a great shoe for many people I know and that says a lot. Well done!

Decided to give Hoka a try at the recommendation of a local female running coach. I ran marathons for about 10 years and only wore Brooks Adrenaline. Got away from running with my career, 2 babies, etc. Came back to running and decided to be cool and run in a zero-drop road shoe. Nope, not for me. This shoe is a fantastic in-between considering drop of Adrenaline vs. Altra. It feels amazing on my feet and so lightweight. Like, magically lightweight. only issue was i felt like the R shoe could have been 3mm more wide in the forefoot. No issues on my L foot. So - I exchanged for a Wide size 7 and hope to get them in mail soon!

Compared to the clifton and gaviota, these run smaller and narrower. I have the Clifton 9 in 8.5 wide and it's perfection. I got these is the same and my toes hit the front and the width across the toe bed is too tight. They felt zippy though and if I had the motivation to try these a size up, id probaby love them. I just think the Clifton 9 fits better for a wider foot and is far more true to size.

As an RN, running around for 12 hour shifts, the Mach series has been my go-to shoe for years! I love the color of this shoe and wanted to love the shoe itself as much as my Mach 4s, 5s and Xs, but I simply can't give this version 5 stars! While so sole is plush and comfortable, the stitching on top of the shoe at the base of the laces (i've seen some reviews referred to this as the "toebox," is much too restrictive. I have wide feet, but I wouldn't consider them "chubby" by any means, and even for me, it's uncomfortable. To be clear, the shoe itself is not too narrow, fits true to size, and this has nothing to do with the laces themselves (you can leave as much slack as you want), it's the stitching that goes across the top. Hopefully with the Mach 7, Hoka will go back to whatever the previous template was!

I like the shoe a lot but I would suggest a wide. I don't usually wides but this shoe is very snug.

I'm a Solimar. 100% Solimar. I know this. Every time I try to buy another version, it doesn't work for me. But I loved the colors on these so much that I am keeping them just for casual wear. I cannot run in them. Quality is as expected. Love the way the tongue and the ankle area really hugs my foot and is so comfortable.

I love the Mach 5 tennis shoe so when I saw the Mach 6 I was a little skeptical. I haven't found any shoes that compares to the 5., but surprisingly the 6 is pretty good! Has a lot of cushion. Fits true to size. Wish i could get it in a wide though.

I love the lemonade pink color of this shoe. I purchased it for walking, but I quickly discovered that it is not a walking show. :( Please make the Bondi 7 in the same Lemonade color as on the Mach 6 and I will buy three of them. Love the pastel colors.

Let me start off by saying that the Mach 6 is a solid shoe. I was coming back from a horrible ACL + 3 others things in my knee. Surgery last year and fell in love with the Mach 5. So much so that they were completely worn down and I had an emotional attachment to them given that they helped me run again. Huge win. They felt stable but not a stability show. Offered enough responsiveness but I still felt "safe" -if you've had a knee surgery you know what I mean. I was stoked to see the match 6 design. Nervous becasue it looks a lot different to me when compared to the 5s. But happy to report that the over all feel was the same. The ONLY critique I have of the new update is the toe box is smaller. I went with the same size (maybe a half size up would have been better) and they're fine but I did notice that difference and I prefer the toe box of the 5s. The all pink color is also gorgeous! This shoe can also do it all. Long slow days, sprints, intervals, walking etc.

It feels like walking on a cloud and I love the color.

I like the Mach 6 but for me nothing beats the bindi 8. I have 3 pairs and will stay with that style. But I do like my Mach 6

I like these shoes, they fit well. Not as comfortable as my Ciifton 8 though. I have had back surgery as well as a shattered ankle and after wearing these for 10 hours I experienced some leg and back pain.

Tongue could be a tad longer. A little tighter around the ankle vs the 5s

I love Mach, but the new version is better!! I feel better cushion, the design, and the space for my toes is just a little bit better, I use to use wide, but I ordered regular to see, and it feel good!, BUT! I give 4 stars because they don't make cool colors in wide, is just like 2 options, I will like to see bright colors in wide not just black and white.

Comfortable

Long time Mach enthusiast here! I love this new model. Feels more responsive and supportive, while retaining the "light" feel compared with the Clifton model. Wonderful improvements. My only critical comment is about the sole. I live in the Pacific Northwest and while out in the rain I felt less stable compared with the previous sole - particularly while running over bridges.

I bought on line and quality is not Hoka level

Not the hoka for me. Thin tongue and legs hurt after 4 hours in them., but I love Clifton 9 and will stick to those
