Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

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.

They seem ok but very different from the Gaviota 5 that I've been wearing but I didn't like the colors offered in the Gaviota 5, so I went with the One One shoes.

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.
