Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6 - DELETED

I didn't buy this shoe for running. Instead I bought it for casual wear and I love it. The new foam feels much better compared to the V5. It looks and feels cushioned and bouncy without having a huge stack underfoot.

I mostly use this shoe for speed work and tempo runs. I was surprised reading any negative reviews about this shoe... it feels very very similar to the Mach 5. The only difference I was able to notice is it feels like they're built more durable to last a little longer than the Mach 5's did. I have the same size for the Mach 5 & Mach 6 and they both fit the same (straight out the box - I did not have to break them in for them to fit my foot). I love this shoe and hope others have the same experience as me. Only negative I can think of is there aren't more colors options for the wide variation.

Fits me absolutely perfect. Right amount of cushion and responsiveness for anything I do. Tongue stays put which is rare for me. Actually bought another pair of them. I dont post reviews often but I love these.

fav

The shoes was for my brother and he felt it was a little tight. I will buy him the next size up.

I have purchased OC's Nike's Brook's Asics and then I bought the Mach 6'a from HOKA. There isn't even a close 2nd place by another manufacturer!!! I have since also purchased the Clifton 9's and I cannot believe the comfort level!!! I walk 10 miles daily and the HOKA's allow me to do such with extreme comfort!!! It's the only shoe I will purchase over and over and over!!!

Moving from the Mach 5, this version is WAY more durable, bouncy, and cushioned. I did order 1/2 size up from my normal Men's 11. These are NOT true to size. Hoka, you need to standardize your sizing. Sizing aside, these may be the best uptempo non-plated daily trainers. They're a little firm for regular walkign around, but can be used for that if need be. Best use is daily training and tempo runs.

Wear the Mach 6 shoes for training at the gym, including four different elliptical workouts, stair-climb machine, and running on a treadmill. These shoes are remarkably stable; the uppers hold the foot lightly, just enough so the shoes don't move laterally at all during cardio training.

I use it for training, durind rides I use rocket x2.

I love my Clifton 9's and already had a pair of these, and since I loved them both, I purchased these along with another Clifton 9. Gotta say, these have got to be the best I've ever worn. These have the perfect balance between cushion and support, and they look great too! Please don't change these, they're perfect as is!

This is the best version of the Mach so far

These sneakers have the perfect colors and style, they fit is perfect. very comfortable I love them

Great fit, very comfortable. I now how three pairs in the rotation

Great shoe for walking, working out or running! Very comfortable.

this is my second pair of the Mach 6 in the last 3 months. different colors of course. very light weight and plenty of cushion. The mach 6 is the most comfortable running shoe I have ever owned and won't go back to my previous brands.

I'm well over 100 miles on these shoes now but I fell in love with them around the 50 mile mark. I was previous racing in Saucony Endorphin Pros and decided it was time to try out something new and I am not at all disappointed. These feel like they have a lot more cushion but still have great bounce. I dont feel like I have any pronation during my run. The thing I like the most is when I pick up speed for that last mile or two to the finish like, it sometimes feels like Im a cartoon character taking big strides from cloud to cloud. I just love these!

I bought this second pair for my husband who is a nurse and he, absolutely, loves them. He finds them to be super light and comfortable, which is a huge plus when you're on your feet 12 hours a day.

Super lite, and the firm outsole is great for bouncing off the concrete.

I bought several mach4 and 5 in the past years and was worried this year's model wasn't gonna be as good but I was wrong! they are even better than last. Little narrow around the toe box

I'm running in the Hoka Mach 6 because it feels very similar to the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3. Unfortunately, Saucony failed miserably with the Endorphin Speed 4, and I had to make the move to Hoka, which I have never tried before. In comparing this shoe to the Endorphin Speed 3, during my first run I noticed some additional impact resistance in the forefoot. However, after a few miles I could no longer distinguish the Hoka Mach 6 from the seven pairs of Saucony Endorphin Speed 3s that I have run through. The shoe may be a bit narrower, but this tightness was alleviated by leaving some paper shoe packaging material inside the shoe overnight. A very nice well made running shoe that I can wear in the cold if needed and buy in conservative colors without being forced to run or race in New Balance stupid pink.

I had the Mach 5 before the Mach 6. If you have the old version I would highly recommend upgrading! The Mach 6 propels you forward with a nice subtle spring. The reinforced heel feels so good and supportive. I've heard people don't like the tight fit but I love it! It give a great ride and I would recommend these shoes.

I put 52 miles (84 kM) on these shoes prior to writing this review. As a prior very satisfied runner in the Mach 5, I was skeptical of the changes made to the Mach 6. First try-on: The shoe felt higher off the ground than the Mach 5, a little bouncier, and a little less firm. The toe box had plenty of room for me both side-to-side and vertically (note that I ordered wides, as I usually do). The mid-foot provided a very secure feel. The heal was a little less secure for me than the Mach 5, but it has caused me no problems during any runs. First run: I ran a 7:15/mi interval workout on my first outing. My shoe experience was great. They felt like a Hoka. However, they didn't quite feel like a Mach, yet. Subsequent runs: I ran distances of 2 miles to 14.5 miles (3-23 kM) in these shoes at interval paces ranging from 6:00/mi to 10:30/mi (~3:45-6:30/kM). I also threw a handful of sprints at the shoes. The Mach 6 has broken in nicely, and I could feel the familiar guidance of the Mach series within a couple of runs. For me, the Mach 5 felt best at anything under 9 minutes per mile and began to feel flat for any runs longer than ten miles. This new Mach 6 feels best at a wider range of paces without sacrificing too much at faster paces. They did not feel flat at any point on my 14.5 mile run (all on concrete). Wet traction has been pretty good. Durability: I put over 300 miles (500 kM) on my Mach 5's prior to ordering the Mach 6. At 52 miles, my Mach 6's have a little wear on the newly designed outsole, but nothing concerning. I expect these to be a 400-500 mile (640-800 kM) shoe for my running style and my typical running surfaces (mixed concrete and gravel trail). Final thoughts: Great job Hoka! I was skeptical of the changes, but they have resulted in my favorite running shoe to date.

Super breathable, lightweight, aesthetically appealing, and fast

I have really enjoyed running in my Mach 6 shoes. A highly cushioned running shoe that is very light. This is a daily training shoe for me that is performing well.

This model (MACH 6), is a return to better days! I am a nurse and I have worn HOKA's to work in for over 10 yearsthe first pair I ever wore were like these, but the next 9 pairs were just not as "cushy", though they were cushy enough to get me through the long days on my feet. HOKA, you need to put clouds in EVERY model! Thank you, from the bottom of my "sole" for these shoes!
