Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

These Hokas feel different from previously purchased shoes.They are not comfortable and feel lopsided. So disappointed!

A year after my first Mach 6 and now on my second Mach 6, I have some updates. I run outside on flat road, occasional sand on top (road near beach) with this shoe. I overpronate. I like this shoe but REALLY miss the previous Mach for its shape, sizing, and material. Material: Mach is still my shoe of choice and I just repurchased it, but the durability ended up being disappointing, especially compared to previous Machs. The bottom foam part wore down quickly and severely: the foam literally wore off on the inner sides (my fault as my feet collide when I run, but this is the first shoe for me where the foam wore down because of it), and it lost its "bounce"/response at maybe ~1/3 (maybe even fewer) of the miles I've done on previous shoes (and WAY more quickly than did the Mach 4, which is the longest I've ever been able to use a shoe it lasted forever). Sizing: Also, the sizing is totally off (for me) compared to previous Mach because of the toe box, which feels smaller. I just got a new pair and sized up .5 from my usual Hoka size (including a few other models of Hoka I've run with) and it has made a HUGE difference (major toenail damage last summer and immediately again this summer with my usual size :'(). Would definitely recommend sizing up (even beyond your normal running shoe size).

The Mach 6 has a lot of fabric at the middle of the foot and little arch support. Size down a half size. I really miss the Clifton 8s. No shoe compares now.

Sorry, I forgot to put the note in the return package. I have a pair of purple mach 6 with the same amount of wear which are still as poofy as they were when I first got them. I don't know if it's a factory issue or not.. I got the black and fuchsia mach 6 also from fit2run.. but they had the same issues so I had to return. I wore them (both) for about one week in total and they became flat and uncomfortable. I really wanted to keep them but my feet hurt. Will try again later!

Nice shoes, but compared to my Bondis, feels rather narrow up front. And wouldn't buy again.

Hoka is always trying to "improve" their shoes. I wish Hoka could leave their shoes as they are. The Mach 5 was a good shoe. I didn't feel like I was walking on a pillow. The Mach 6 has such a high stack. I have not decided yet if I will keep them. I don't feel like I have much of a choice because ALL of Hoka's shoes that I have loved are not longer available. The Mach 5 was the last one and not Hoka has changed the shoe.

I have had 5 pairs of Machs. First 3 8.5, my last pair of mach 6 were way too small so I figured the new ones just ran small. So, i ordered a 9 for my 2nd pair of Mach 6 and they are huge. I stuck with the Machs so i could just order every 4 months, defeats the purpose if i have to find a store and try on every time.

These shoes are decent but not the cushioning I was hoping for. I have been having bad heel pain with my left foot, and so far these have not done much to relieve the pain. I expected better results, especially considering the price of these shoes.

I purchased Mach 6 because of how much I loved the Mach 5. The Mach 6 changes make the shoe almost unbearable and my feet hurt at the end of the day. The Mach 5 was perfect.

This is my second try with Hokas. Still not a fan for the cost. Love the colors, but just underwhelmed. Kept them because it's hard to find something decent for much less.

Tread wearing significantly at 35 miles of use on pavement.

For the price not worth it. They will break down fast. Especially if your on your feet a lot. They fit good just not enough support for being on type feet all day working.

Shoes are a little tight. I'm normally a non-wide width shoe person, but these are very tight, particularly before broken in.
