Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6 -DELETED

I was looking for a solid pair of shoes for my tempo runs. Sadly, while this shoe was very light, the snug fit around the toes caused blisters on the outer edges of my toes. And I developed aches in my forefoot. I probably need something with a bit more cushion in it.

These at first felt like they were going to work great. They are lightweight and cushiony. However, after wearing them for 1 day on my feet for 10 hours my feet hurt and they rubbed my raw on the soles of my feet.

This is my 4th pair of Mach 6. Same size. Have always loved them. This 9 1/2 is so tight I can't wear them. They've been worn so can't return. Bummed.

I'm very disappointed because I ordered a pair of black tennis shoes from hookah and they send me smoke gray. I cannot work in that color. This is the second time I ordered black and did not get black. How can I return them please please

Mach 5 is better and wider. These are too tight for my feet.

This is the first Mach series I have NOT liked. I've been running in Machs for the past 6 years but the Mach 6 really missed for me. I find the sizing to be much smaller. I've always worn 8.5 and have very narrow feet but the Mach 6s give me blisters. The toe box shape seemed to have changed too. I don't find them to be as springy feeling and my feet feel tired after my runs and I never experienced this with the past Mach.

Had to return because the shoe was too tight. Returned and received refund very promptly!!

the heals squeaks really bad when walking and it is annoying.. I was hoping they would stop but it still doing it and getting worse...would like to send back for different pair

Left lg big toe feels uncomfortable Something wrong with it

I returned these shoes for exchange as they lacked the normal pillowy feel that Hokas normally have. They were somewhat tight (size 11D) with an abbreviated tongue & had a very stiff feel to them. The Clifton 9's which I received in exchange also had issues. They were big & boxy & lacked any responsiveness. I don't recall Cliftons in the past feeling so overwhelmingly clunky. I would not purchase either of these models in the future.

I had the Hoka Mach 5's and thought a similar size for the newer version would fit similarly. However, the Mach 6 runs a whole size smaller, feeling tighter in both width and length. Hopefully a size up will solve the issue, but certainly a big variance in fit from one generation to the next.

When I first put these shoes on, I was immediately impressed by the great cushioning. When I later went out to walk I realized that the heel is significantly lower than the rest of the shoe. While that may be ideal for some people, it puts torque on my knees, and I absolutely cannot use them. I have tried the Clifton and the Bondi in the past, and they too seem to have the lower heel. It may be an illusion because of a high arch? I don't know, but I am disappointed that I can't find a model that works for me. The Hoka cushioning is great, but the architecture just doesn't work for me.

Not comfortable at all. Superrrr narrow for skinny feet people. The cusion is decent but I feel like they forced me to invert the sole a bit. Ran 5 miles in em and hurt my feet. Going back to the Clifton 9s I guess. I typically wear a 9-9.5 I got the Mach 6 in 9.5 and they're still too snug/tight. I like the way they look but it's not a good shoe to run in.

Mach 5's have been the best shoe I've ever had. Thankfully I ran around the store before buying the Mach 6. No outside heel stability. You could easily roll your ankle. Not the shoe for me. Please bring back the Mach 5 styling and fit. I bought the Mach X to replace the Mach 5. Not enough cushion. Bring back the Mach 5!!

I absolutely love Hoka and ordered these with the highest of hopes because the Mach 5's were EVERYTHING. Got them, and was SO disappointed. I got blisters, as well as didn't feel my foot securely fastened in them. In the 5's the middle of my foot felt supported and absolutely engulfed by the material, which was awesome. I have bad ankles and that security helps stabilize me so that I don't feel like I'm going to roll anything. Anyways, the 6's didn't have that, as well as felt more narrow, and less springy. And if I'm really getting picky, the colors are SO boring. The 5's had several options of a bunch of fun, exciting, dynamic colors, while the 6's are just a bore visually. Out of desperation, I've combed the internet searching for Mach 5's in my size, and am going to wear them until HOPEFULLY the Mach 7's knock my socks off. Come on August 2025!

Though these sneakers are a wide width, they actually feel too small. I have the same size in MACH5 and they are fine. I have had to wear them a little bit everyday in an attempt to stretch the fabric. Another problem I have with them is that they squeak. Yes, they squeak on my hardwood floors.

The WIDE width in this style was not wide. I was a regular with.

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.

Loved the light, minimal feel of the mach 5 with a wide toe box. The mach 6 is heavier, has a higher stack height and a smaller toe box. The new mach 6 feels significantly less stable during runs and has been causing irritation with my achilles after wear. The colorways options were also disappointing. Overall, preferred mach 5 and disappointed by the mach 6.
