Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

Love the more cushion from the 5 to the 6's, but they are soooo narrow!

I picked up a pair of the Mach 6 (direct from Hoka). I had gone through three pairs of the Mach 5 prior and absolutely loved them for road running. Be aware that the 6 is a different shoe, and you will not have the same fit if you had been in the previous Mach models. It feels like it has a lot more cushioning. For me, going out for a 7-8 mile run with the new fit resulted in a couple of times resulted in real discomfort post run. I was also bummed to see Hoka has a very self-service approach (you manage it all, no phone support & eat the shipping costs) to returns vs. other MFGers that tend to make it easier.

Shoe was good length, great width, great weight, but it didn't form my feet correctly. My heel kept slipping out the back. I ran in them for 2 mins and said nope. I was so sad. Will have to go back to my previous brand.

Very comfortable soles but the inner top of laces dig into the tops of my feet. I've never had this issue with tennis shoes. The soles are great but the discomfort on the top of my foot is annoying all day long. Ugh.

First I will say I am a big Hoka fan, I have 6 pairs of Hoka and have run triathlons, marathons, and plenty of training runs with them. I am a size 11, Hoka shoes have all fit true to size, except this pair. They have a weird toe area. It is not enough to cause a blister or mess with my toenail but enough to change how my feet fit in the shoe. I have kept them for walking my dog, but these are not a good running/training shoe. Highly recommend looking at the Mach 5!

I thought these would be a more grey for a neutral look, but they were like a very light blue. I returned due to my knee hurting because I realized I'm not a "responsive" girl and need more support. I did love the width at the mid-arch area though!

The fit and width of the shoe are great. I have wide feet through the ball of my foot, and the wide width was plenty accommodating. A regular fit may have worked. The problem is that the soles are so incredibly squishy that they become painful to wear. I made the mistake of wearing them on a travel day and really regretted it. My whole foot and ankle was sore on both sides for days. Like I had been walking in loose sand for too long a distance. Too bad, because I really liked the fit and look. Not too clunky or overly large. The sole is just too squishy.

Shoe feels like the outer right heel has been lower or worn.

I have never needed wide shoes and all my other shoes (read On and so on) are either 7.5 or a few are 8. I have never had any other sizings in shoes. I ordered this in 8, my feet felt very uncomfortable. Returned and got 8.5 and wore it for 5 mins and I had a burning sensation in my feet. When I removed it, I saw that it had dug into my skin (this is in less than 5 mins). Now I am thinking if I should just return it or order a wide one and size up again. That's 1.5 sizes up from my original size.

I have 3 pairs of Hoka. I was fitted into Mach 5 and loved them. I bought another pair and they were perfect. Mach 6 came out and while they were different in not a good way, they still worked so I kept them. The fit is more narrow, and the arch is off. However, I recently ordered a black Mach 6 and this shoe is so narrow and awkward. My feet are not wide but the shoe is significantly different and just uncomfortable. I walked back and forth in my kitchen and the shoe was altering my walk. They are very narrow so your foot rotates and it's almost like you walk on the inside side of your feet. My husband said it looked like I might break my ankle. In the couple minutes of trying the shoe on, my knee immediately started hurting. Very disappointed. Back to the drawing board. Headed back to the shoe shop to be fitted again and guessing I will have to switch brands.
