Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 6 -DELETED

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. :(

I'm am RN and was SO happy to finally find the perfect shoe for my 12 hour shifts - the Mach 5! I wanted a second pair in a different color, so I figured the Mach 6 would be it. SOOOO disappointed. They are so tight in the toe box - unlike the Mach 5 - I couldn't bear a few steps, even in thin socks, let alone in the thicker socks I love for work. Other brands have done this in the past (looking at you, Brooks) which is why I left them. And now Hoka. What the heck man? Why is this a thing? Were there complaints about the toe box being too wide? I truly wish I understood this.

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 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.

I got this particular pair of Hoka's based on some friends that have them recommendations. I got these to wear to work in a training facility for adults with disabilities. I am on my feet for 9 hours a day in a restaurant and coffee shop setting teaching my students how to do jobs that they may get and be successful in. My feet literally hurt so bad after wearing these that I can barely walk. I have worn them for 1 week straight thinking they needed to be broken in or that they would get more comfortable the more I wear them. This is not the case. I also have a pair of Hoka ONE that I have had for a while and they do not hurt my feet at all. They are the most comfortable shoe I own. I think it's just something with this particular style.

I bought 2 paid but I only receive one pair

I love the type of shoe, but I'm dissatisfied with receiving a color I didn't order.

I cannot even get my feet into these shoes. I ordered a half size up but they are cut extremely small and when I finally get my feet in they're the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever had. I was so excited to finally treat myself to a nice pair of shoes but I'm so disappointed. I'd like to send them back.

I have a pair of the Bondi 8's that I have owned for over a year. I love them to pieces. I purchased the Mach 6's in the same size as my Bondi's (and every other shoe I wear) and they were too big for me, so I sent them back and got a half size down. When I got everything settled with sizing, I drove to the park to go for a walk. I thought that I had the tongue of the shoe folded in or my laces were stuck in them because I was experiencing pain while driving. I readjusted the shoe when I got to the park and after about five minutes of walking, I was in extreme pain. I have had fractures in my foot that were more comfortable than walking around in these shoes. I thought it might have been because they are for running so I tried to run in them. I got about ten steps before I had to take them off and walk back to my car in my socks.

I loved when I saw the Hoka shoes I bought, but did not meet my expectations on tge color since in the picture seems to be all black, and the ones I received they have grey soles. I already have shoes black and grey and wanted to have them all black . Otherwise, they are comfortable, but I would've prefer them all black.

These are the worst shoes ive ever owned. They put all the pressure on the heel of your foot and dont evenly distribute your weight. I literally fell backwards the first time I put them on! I work int retail and am on my feet 9 hours a dsy and my feet hurt every day. Wish I could return them!!! Will never buy another or recommend to others.

The sizing for the shoes run small, not a big deal. Bought the original purchase online, drove an hour to exchange product in store just to be told they cannot exchange online purchases in store. But they can take returns. Washed my hands of this company. It's hard to fathom in the 21st century why a company cannot exchange products in store but will accept returns. I won't support a company with backwards polices. I know $1,000 doesn't matter to them, but I hope this review serves as a warning to others

This is the first pair of Hoka's I have tried. Unfortunately they were not for me. The fit was great and the shoes are comfortable. When I ran in them they hurt my feet. I was able to get through the run. I tried them again if it was a break in period for the first run. My feet hurt within 2 miles. Everyone said I should have bought the Bondi style but my podiatrist suggested these. I doubt I will purchase another pair of Hoka's

This shoe hurt my feet so bad, im very disappointed
