Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

I am a trail runner but bought this shoe for winter treadmill running. It is light and less bulky than other Hoka models I have tried. Works great for me on the treadmill.

This shoe seems to run narrow- so if you have a wider foot I wouldn't recommend this style. I am going to keep these and wear with thin socks, but I do wish they were wider. Other than that they look good and do feel good with the extra cushion in the sole.

I love the Mach 6. I am a 56 year old who lives to run but my aging knees have steered me more to walking and jogging. The Mach 6 has a lower heel to toe drop ( but I wish it were only 4mm rather than 6mm), is cushioned and gives a more responsive feeling than heavier holds. Truly in the right track with these shoes HOKA! Great shoe.

I've been through nearly 7-8 pairs of hoka shoes now, primarily Machs. Great shoes but the color options have always been UNDERWHELMING. Once in awhile, there's a color combination that's decentnothing excitingbut decent. But these latest options are killing me. It's giving old man aesthetic. Color combinations have always been weird with Hokas, but for Christ sake, CHANGE IT UP. GIVE US SOMETHING MORE. Enough with the lukewarm, uninspiring tones!!!!! Love my Machs, but I'm already looking towards other shoes to replace them. Been feeling like this for some time now, so until something changes, I probably won't be buying another pair for awhile.

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

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

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'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.

They are so comfortable right out of the box and feel so responsive. Just what ii was looking for. I'm only giving 4 stars because I feel they aren't as supportive as I expected. Sorry I might need another pair sooner because I may wear them out. But I will be buying another pair when needed!

I'm a total newbie at running(6ish months) and originally tried out a different popular running shoe and immediately returned them and ordered these Hokas. I love the color, cushion and how stable my feet feel in them while running. However, I have narrow feet and these are very narrow. I am out of my return window thinking maybe it was just because they needed to be broken in but that's not the case. Either way I love them but if you've got narrow feet maybe think about going wide or try the narrow and don't miss your window like I did.

The Mach series is my absolute favourite running shoe but I prefer previous iterations. I run on the road between 35-70+ miles a week. I run about 8'08"min/mile pace. I wear women's 8.5 in Nike, 9 in Veja, 8 in Hoka (regular width). My non-sneaker shoe size is 8. I prefer light shoes that are still a bit stabilizing. I land on my big toe/the left ball of my feet, feet pointing in. For me, this doesn't fit *exactly* the same as previous Machs it's not too small per se, but the toe area is slightly different than the other Mach shoes and not in a good way because the rest of the size is the same, sizing up is too big for me. I also find the fabric is wearing much faster than all other Hokas I've had. I've only had them for a few months and there are some holes on top. However, it's still my favourite running shoe, and I would buy again, I'd just choose Mach 4/5 over 6. It's very bouncy, super super light, the bottom is durable so far (with regards to support/cushioning/bounce), they dry really fast after rain, and they're very breathable. The traction isn't great but it's not bad just slippery on sand. Overall I like this and would recommend, I just LOVED the Mach 4. They were so durable. I hope the next Mach can bring back some elements from previous Machs.

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.
