Absolutely loved the Mach 4. Ran my first Ultramarathon in the Mach 4, JFK50 mile. Zero blisters and kept the feet peppy

Thank you for taking the time to put this together Seth. Its great to see you out running again, I just love your vlogs. Respect To You Sir! Upward and Onward

Another brilliant video I love how you incorporate your family into the video also great work

What is the story behind Seth running with goggles on?

loooved the mach4! still wear em casually and they still make me smile when i pick em up.

I had a great experience in the M5, logging 499 miles in 2023. I just loved the ride, and have held up really well. Pros: lightweight, closer to the ground, good/soft ground contact, good laces, breathable, ample toe box space, maybe a mild rocker for good transitions, and good energy return for tempo runs. I am curious to learn about the upgrades in the M6. Some desired improvements for me would be more of a snug & structured upper, light rubber on the outsole for extended life, maybe a firmer ride without losing that energy return, not having the lacing system so close to each other, more streamlined with better natural fit/room around the toe box. That heel design for the midsole is understated how good it is for running downhills IMO. Also that heel flair, though it looked cool. It really bothered my left achilles when I developed an injury in that area, it is pretty stiff. I think Hoka may have changed the midsole, so I am wondering how that is gonna play out. I do feel the M5 would bottom out for me on longer runs as well, so maybe the added stack height might help in that area. 👟

Beautiful short video Seth, Thank you.❤☺️

Just learned an at-home hamstring training exercise watching this. Thanks!

Loved the Mach 4 and 5. One of the best lineup. 😊

Love the Mach 4. One pair was retired after 1100 km, another pair is still in use with 700 km. Perfect for faster runs, but I loved to do my 30 km runs in them. And back then, you were the reason i bought them, so thank you Seth!

That running shoe collection is next level!

Loved the Mach 5 and got based on your review. This feels even better. Have done over 200kms in the Mach 6. Foam is still perfect and it's great for long runs as well. Have Endorphin Speed 4 as well but just find myself reach for the Mach 6 9 times out of 10. Is a snug fit but that's fine for me. Great running too Seth

Great first impression vlog. Felt like a classic Seth video and it brought some joy today. What was everyone's favorite Mach? The 5 truly captured me.

What a great blessing if a man's family.

so precious!

Great Vlog as always Dr Seth. You mentioned that the Mach 6 is more suited for middle distance. However I saw another Shoe Vlogger used the Mach 6 for a 20+ run with no issues.

just depends on the runners personal mechanics and comfort preferences

I’ve been looking forward to hearing info on this one. Not running right now (kiddo #4 arrives in May) but I’m definitely looking forward to getting the legs moving again.

I got a pair of the Mach 4's and they were okay. The upper is amazing and the shoes offer a smooth transition. It kind of reminded me of the old Nike Epic React FK 2. Light and snappy with the right amount of cushioning. Wasn't my favorite for longer runs, but for daily miles and faster work they were pretty good. Downside was the outsole (or lack there of). Durability was non-existent for me, and traction was questionable in slick conditions. In a way, I like what they are doing with the Mach 6.

I loved both my Mach 4 and 5 and even though the Mach 6 isn’t quite as good as the 5, it’s still a great shoe, still my favorite line of shoes to date

I had 4 copies of the Mach 4, I still have one very battered set that I use as a walking trainer, all down to your reviews.

I think it does great on long runs.

Great 👍 😊

I have over 600 Km with the 5. Love it. Light, comfortable, stable, snappy…! But the outsole now is pretty straight where I land. Thinking about the 6 also for the long runs, but wasn’t expecting you saying that it’s not a long run shoe.

Your first statement post run gave me a good belly laugh. 😂 Not sure how I feel about Hokas narrowing trend.

Nice!!!!!

Hey, nice socks! I have those same ones. "Incylence" brand

16th. Nice to see you!

I burned through two pairs each of the Machs 4 and 5. The 4 is still one of the all-time great daily trainers. I liked the ride of the 5 a little better, but the lockdown and tongue was not as good for me. Not sure I'll go with the Mach 6 this time, may opt for the Rebel v4 instead.

I did exactly that, ended up choosing the Rebel v4 over the Mach 6. Haven't tried them out tho 😂

Love the Mach 4, perhaps my favourite. Mach 5 good but not quite there. Have hovered over the 6 but haven’t committed to purchase

I ran in my last pair of Mach 4s last night. Getting unresponsive now but I refuse to turn them into yard shoes just yet.

Do you donate any of your running shoes to people that need shoes and can’t afford them? Lots of stock there😉

He once upon a time did but like most things he started, he stopped doing it with little explanation.

I had to sell my Mach 4 It was way too tight in the toe box. I getting along with the Mach 5 mainly using the 5 for a workout shoe.

Seth, despite costly price, can you do a review of the Norda 001. I’d love your perspective from a thorough mountain runner review.

best shoes ever

I'm late to the Mach game and running in a pair of M5 that I got on sale a couple of months ago. It's my long run shoe (for me that's up to 15 mi) and I run faster in it than any other shoe, without trying to. I'm waiting on 100+ mile reviews of the M6 to see if the midsole foam holds up.

fits on last mach 5 (US 10.5), should i take upsize (11)or pick wide variant (10.5)?

Well shoot, just finished a (mostly) easy 40 minute run in the 6s and saw this pop up afterward! I like them so far in that i don't notice them while running, which is always a plus.

most reviews i have seen, including this one say snug fit (narrow toe box) go up half a size. I has the Mach5 and the fit was great in my size 12. So should i go 12.5?

Mach 5 was my fav shoe I tried on in store in the past. Unfortunately I couldn't get them. I'm having to save money and going with shoes I know have crazy durability.

Seth I have a problem with the Mach 6 where my heels slip like crazy, did you get that at all?

@Deadbuck73

3 ай бұрын

All my Hokas have the heel slippage

If this isn't a long run shoe can you recommend a long run shoe?

So far in my limited shoe history the Mach X is the king of pure comfort....

Like my Mach 4s but the outsole wear pretty bad for the low milage. If I didn't get them on clearance I'd probably not buy another pair of Hokas

any reason why it's not a long run shoe? I mean, the midsole is thick enough...

Nothing like the Mach 5. The 6 (Wide) has a firmer ride and higher stack. My tendon plate injury returned after two weeks running on them. Too bad. Now I have to search for a alternative. To Hoka and some other manufacturers with this habit: never change a winning team (too much)

How's the fit of the mach 6 in wide? I heard that it was a narrower shoe (compared to the mach 5), but haven't found any mention of the wide version yet.

@MarcoMarco-cc6zv

3 ай бұрын

The wide version has indeed a roomier toebox. I weighted the Mach 5 (W) and 6 (W). The 6 is a tad heavier. Also not a lighter version(!)

@@MarcoMarco-cc6zv That's good to know! Thank you for the reply, sorry this is so late lol

How does running in the goggles feel, are those specifically for running or something you just found out worked?

tweener?

Not enough response for the price point. The NB fuel cells are much better

In hindsight they were not that special. They have been surpassed by the Deviate Nitro 2 and the Superblast.

Thanks Seth, never been a fan because of what you mentioned on the fit, way too narrow for me.

nice call on the DynaFit SkiMo goggles! gotta get you into skimo! when was the last time you did Abdominal Crunches using your kid as resistance? Dewa update: cracked the TOP 12 at RMD Nordic Natz in U18 at 16! She's right into Track; racing this weekend. just took a BIG BREATH, and got the Hoka Cielo (SEE-lee-Oh!) for Shiprock 1/2 Marathon in a month. just finished ski racing last weekend. Blessings from Durango!

Loving the Mach 6 so far!
