Took them for a spin on the treadmill at the store yesterday. The Mach has always been my favorite Hoka model, and it remained the same. Okay aside from the Cielo, I love that shoe.

I’ve put 18 miles in my mach 6 and it’s a great shoe for me so far. Feels very comfy and snappy at 10:30 mile pace and very quick and light at 6:00 mile pace. I’m happy with my purchase. 5’8 190lbs

Unrelated, but love the Junk hoodie. I think you recommended it in some winter running video and I got one over the holidays. Is now my go to running hoodie so thanks again for the recommendation given I hadn't heard of Junk until your rec.

Thanks for your honest review. I feel like you are not sugarcoating the new shoe just because Hoka sent it to you for free.

I have 900km on my mach 5 and it’s still going strong 💪

Ended up snagging a pair of Mach 5s on discount. Definitely excited to try the 6s when my 5s hit 300miles. Also can't wait for the new Mach Xs, I love my NB SC Trainer V2s but they're almost ready for a replacement.

Thanks Kofuzi!

Hey Kofuzi! Just bought a pair this week and I would say the length of laces is just fine. I am even doing runners knot and there is still enough lace to tie the knot without any issues 😊 This is my first Mach so I cannot compare to previous versions 🥲

Just bought the Mach6 in Japan. In my size no half size up possible, so I went with the wide version and it fits perfect for me. Pairing with the ASICS S4 for races, which is around same price (also as Superblast, Hoka is very expensive in Japan).

I love the new midsole foam on the Mach 6! It reminds me of the Kinvara Pro, and feels better to me than the Mach X.

I agree with the sizing and fit thing with Hoka. I'm a US 10.5D in my Mach 5 and I was surprised that I'm a size US 11 on the Mach 6. As for the laces, my Mach 6 has a lot of laces left when I did the runner's knot. I love the bounce of the new foam and this has a better rocker geometry for me compared to the Clifton 9 which just doesn't like my feet 😂.

Nailed all the points ❤

Finally Mach 5s go on sale

Nice review. I agree about the sizing, it seems like the upper is a bit smaller on the mach 6. I usually wear size EU 44 2/3, but it felt too tight on the mach 6 with that size so I had to go up to EU 45 1/3, which I never had to do before on any shoes!

Dude sick power slide to end the video!!!

Just picked up another pair of Mach 4 this past weekend for USD69 as I absolutely love this shoe. The 5 and 6 will have to wait.

I'm excited to see the new outer. I've loved my Hokas but they aren't durable at all; the added rubber gives me hope.

Now i am on hold whether to jump in Novablast 4 or Mach 6. I am looking for a Snappy fast light-weight shoes as fun as Saucony Kinvara 14. This video showed that NB Rebel 4 started to show alot of "crease" on the Mid-sole. Feels like the bounce would not going to last longer after 600KM or around that. Mach 6 have the traditional running shoes outlook which i am eyed on. Especially the outsole rubber is a fantastic upgrade for longer durability for a road-runner.

The extra room in Mach 5 made it friendly to people who use custom insole inserts. One of the very few fast and light shoes that allows that. Looks like that capability has been taken away in the 6.

@kev60625

Ай бұрын

This is a very late comment, but I just bought the mach 6 in wide, and since I have gotten my custom orthotics, these are by far the best fitting shoes for them that I own. Pretty much all the shoes I own I haven't been able to use, except for pegasus and vomero 17s What I noticed is how deep the factory insoles go in the mach 6, so it makes for a great swap to my orthotics since those are very tall. If you have any recommendations for shoes that fit good with inserts I am all ears as well

Thanks for your video. How would you compare the shoe to the Rincon 3?

I'm currently heading on a new direction since I learned that going faster actually requires less energy. I started with the deviate nitro 2 few weeks ago & with the mach 6 released, i wonder how that would match with my new running technique.

really like that DnB music

Question, Is the Mach 6 arched like the 5 is on the inside? The Mach 5 was my first running shoe of such caliber and I was blown away bc I’ve always been a runner but growing up, we never could afford that kind of stuff, I had no idea about how much smoother running shoes makes longer distance running. The only thing for me personally was the arch, so it’s just a personal thing bc I’m not flat footed but very arched shoes bother me, it isn’t too bad to not run in, if I wear them for too long tho they do start to bother me bc of that tho, other than that, a Golden shoe.

Running novice here: I already have the clifton 8 and enjoying it. But as I start doing some interval sessions lately I feel that is a bit too soft and/or a bit unstable. Would this complement the clifton or they are just too simillar ? Also compared to the clifton 8, is this narrower? Thanks in advance

I could try it on a few momths ago and they are amazing

how would you compare it to puma velicity 3? or novablast 4 or 3?

How do they feel different from rincon 3? The mach 6 seems like a redundant addition to the hoka lineup, if anything replacing the rincon (hopefully not). The profly midsole was different enough from the other shoes to justify having both in a rotation, but now seems like its an either/or situation.

Gonna give these a go. Didn't like the wide fit of rebel V4 , also arch felt to prominent . I do have narrow feet , but dont often have issues with feeling the arch in a shoe.

If you have the choice between the the Mach 6 or the ASICS superblast?

Kofuzi on point as always. How about the Mach X vs new Mach 6?

There are so many different but overlapping models from one brand that I wonder if it wouldn't be better to cut down the number of models (not only Hoka). Before I buy the wrong one I buy none.

I really didn't care for the Mach 5 at all but I was looking for a new long run shoes and went with the Mach 6 over the Novablast and Nimbus which both just felt like total clunkers to me. Took the Mach 6 out for a 20 miler the same day and I gotta say, I'm a big fan. Love the upper and I don't have an issue with the lace length and I do use runners loop. Overall, I think it's a great daily trainer on the more cushy size. Can't wait to put a ton more miles on then

Tempted to buy the Mach 6 as the 5 was one of my favourite shoes. However the second pair of the 5 felt so dead after 300km that I'm hesistant to buy the Mach 6. Guess I'll wait a bit and see what other people report about the durability of this shoe.

Inconsistency indeed. My first Hoka was Mach 5 then I bought Clifton 9 with the same size and the toe box feels narrower on long runs. To think that I was initiallly advised Hokas because they are roomier... Thanks for the review!

Possibly an odd comparison, but how do you think these would fair against the Puma Deviate Nitro 2?

In the past i regretted buying rincon 3 . I should have bought mach 5. I will consider buying Mach 6 as my next shoes

I'm a big hoka fan but the sizing problem is real. I love the Mach but the 4 was a bit long so i went half size down with the 5 and ended up being way too tight. Tried the 6 with my original sizing again and it's unfortunately way too narrow in the toe box even for my narrow feet. It was suffocating my pinky toe. Even though I've been a fan of the Mach line, i won't be running in the 6 this year.

I’m usually a size 12 D. I have a “normal“ width foot. I ordered the 12 D and the upper was way too tight. I returned it and got a 12.5 D still too tight. I compared both the five and Mach 6 on feet don’t feel the snug in the uppers really worth it. I’d rather just get a new pair of mock fives or go with another shoe. I could consider getting a 12 wide however, it is harder to find the shoe in my area.
