Customer Reviews Hoka 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 ordered a pair of Mach 6 shoes, women's size 9. The shoes looked better online than in person. I tried them on and realized they were very narrow and they hurt my feet. Ultimately, I decided to return them because in my opinion they were not worth the money. The Bondi is a better shoe.

These run a half size big. I am a normal size 7, had to return for a 6.5 size. The cushion is a bouncy, comfortable, fitted feel. I hit that 3 mile mark and the outside of my right foot started to hurt. It was so bad I stopped and did some foot stretches to help. It did not help. I went home and soaked my feet as they ached for the rest of the day into the next morning. I have not given up on this shoe so I will wear them again, loosen the shoestrings, to see if it needs to be stretched to fit better. Overall my first HOKA shoe purchase is not good. But we'll see

I was looking forward to these shows for jogging in the treadmill, however I've had a lot of pain on my left foot, right has been fine. Have been unable to break them in. Also despite ordering them in wide thy are still fairly snug. Would not buy this model again.

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

I love my hokas don't get me wrong here but I decided to try the Mach 6 this time, I ordered wide... I'm usually a normal fit, but at work the wide just give me more stability. Either I didn't receive wide, or the wides are super tight and I can't image what the normal fit is.

Love the sleek look of the shoe but for long walks, I was in pain after 2-3 miles. Needs a better insole for support.

I dislike the rubber tongue very much. If I'm wearing no-show socks and the top of my foot sweats, the rubber creates a rash on the top of my foot. Also, the tongue is very thin and short, I'm afraid to pull on it as it feels like it could tear. Would not buy again because of the tongue.

HOKA materials quality and cushioning has significantly deteriorated over the past few years. The shoes feel flimsy.

With all the changes with my go to New Balance brand, thought I'd give Hoka a try on recommendations from my run group. I love the 6.8 oz lightness, reminds me of the NB Zantes of days passedthe toe box and balance was great to help me keep pace and feet less tiring. However, after 200 miles, the rear sole patch started peeling. It peeled so bad I had to cut off the piece to avoid being tripped by it. Was hoping it was a fluke but another 100 miles, the rest of the piece peeled off and the other side started peeling as well. So highly disappointed in the quality of construction. I have been running for the past 30 years (mostly in New Balance) and never had traction patches peeling, only worn off.is anyone else experiencing this?
