Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6

I have been wearing the Mach 5 series but they are no longer an option . These new Mach 6 series are not as comfortable as the 5.. They must have changed sole technology .

Generally speaking Hoka brand sneakers have been like bedroom slippers straight out of the box, but these not so much. There's a weird bump on the instep and the sides are stiff. Just a little note to consider if you decide to purchase these.

I've been buying 3 pairs of Hoka shoes per year since 2021. I got a pair of Cliftons recently that squish my pinky toes. My usual go to is the Rincon but opted for the Mach this time since they're available in wide sizes. The Rincon had a bunch of reviews saying the new ones are too narrow. And to my sad surprise, these "wide" ones are not wide at all. I placed them next to my "regular width" Cliftons and they look the same. Very uncomfortable.

This is my 3rd Mach (had the 4 and 5) and loved them so much and was excited to get my new pair BUT I am disappointed in the Mach 6. They are totally different than the previous ones. Not sure I'll keep them as I just got them today and took a short walk to try them out. I'll see how they do on my long walk. Ughh, finally found a pair of shoes that fit great and now looks like I'll have to go back shopping around!

My husband and daughter have a few pairs of Hoka sneakers so I had high expectations. The sneakers did not live up to it.

I do really like the color of these shoes. That's about the only thing that's worked out. I've had these for a few months and now they squeak with every step. It's a grinding crunching noise and it's so noticeable that people comment on what is that noise? Therefore I do not recommend these. They do not last.

I don't why or how,But I never felt this kind of issue to all the brands I used before,And I always used regular. I exchange to wide and half size more but still giving me issues to the right side of my foot,Kts feel tight still and uncomfortable,It's very weird,And I don't think I will like the cushion so far I only tried Mach.

Why is HOKA trying to imitate Sketchers in the heal area? The thin loop used before is all that is needed.

I purchased a pair in a wide width because I adore my wide width Clifton's but these are so incredibly narrow I have to return them. I've tried on several HOKAs at stores in my area and never had a pair fit like this. The tongue is sewn into the shoe in a way where it is so tight across the top of the foot I couldn't even wear them long enough to break them in and stretch them out.

Unfortunately Hokkaido seems to keep doing it. They have an amazing shoes but the more newer models/ versions, they change so much that the shoe is not what it was and leave you so disappointed. I had three pairs of machs! Two Mach 5s! Loved them so very much devoted wouldn't switch. Grabbed the Mach 6 when it was time. Awful mistake, they feel like carboard on the bottom, no response like they used to have in the heal, I trained in them ran a half and I've had some of the worst foot pain during my half and training, in my arch but I've never had issues before. I didn't change a thing in my routine mileage or pace anything, the only change is that I needed new shoes and couldn't get my hands on a 5 anymore in my size so went with the 6. Awful! I tried past the warranty period because I was convinced having loved Hoka and Machs so much there was no way it was the shoe. Unfortunately it was the shoe!! Disappointed

The shoe itself is nice. The tongue on this shoe is far too thin and made of an odd material. It slips down and makes it hard to initially put the shoe on your foot. The shoe strings also seem rather short. Kinda disappointing. I'll stick with the Clifton style next time.

I religiously size down half a size in Hokas - in many different styles. I ordered my usually half size down, to find they were too small. Went to a store and fit in my usual size. Tried on several other new hokas and fit my typical size down. The Mach 6 runs true to size, but not consistent sizing across the board. These also felt much more firm, and narrow in the toe box. I returned them, and purchased a new pair of Mach 5s. Hope Mach 7 will be better.

I love my MACH 5's...own 2 pairs. I am not a fan of the new MACH 6 design. The cushion level is higher which is fine but the material the shoe is made from does not give and they are too narrow and uncomfortable. I will be returning mine.

Unfortunately the MACH6 did not meet my expectation and sent them back. I need a sneaker with more stability and weighted soul.

I really wanted to love these, and I did for a month. After a month in they started ripping at the sides. I have never had this happen before. I think this is because of the foam material. I have sent it in for a warranty refund. I hope it is refunded because I purchased a second pair and crossing my fingers it does not tear. This can't be from regular wear and tear because I've hardly used them at all and only have a handful of times on treadmill and track. The customer service rep Brett was very off putting but helped me submit a return. I don't see what Hoka wants with a damaged pair - I was hoping to keep them since I needed a pair of walking shoes while waiting for a new pair. Hoping the damage was a one off. :(

Really wanted to like these as Mach 5s were my favorite shoe (I have 3 pairs) but when these came out it was hard to get my hands on a wide and once I did I tried to make these work but they are way too narrow (Mach 5 wides were perfect) sad to see my favorite shoe no longer be an option for me

I love the Mach5s so bought these thinking they would be very similar, but there were a couple issues with the shoe that made it not work for my wide foot. The material on the front of the shoe has changed, instead of having a soft like material it now has a more rubberized feel. This pushed into my pinky toe (I think because the material has less give than the mach 5 material). Overall it just felt narrower too. I returned them after trying them on, and bought another pair of mach 5s instead.

My first pair of Hokas. I wear Bombas socks and the red on the tongue fades onto my socks . I have two pairs of Bombas that are ruined . I would not buy these shoes again .

I really liked how the front toe box felt more secure for some quick sprints/ long distance running. The heel on the Mach 6 is a no go for me it was too short and my heel kept sliding out The dream shoe would be - Toe box Mach 6 and Heel Mach 5. I'm actually stocking up on the Mach 5, right now. It gets a 3 star only for the improved toe box.

I have worn the shoes one time. They have no arch support or side support.

I wore the transport shoes. Caused back pain leg pain muscle cramps Afraid to try another pair

I got wide shoes and they were too narrow. I can wear a regular 9 or an 8.5 wide in most other shoes. I ordered a 9 wide and they were so narrow and uncomfortable. It was so disappointing since I have heard great things from other people. I'm returning them.
