With a snappy ride, the HOKA Mach X 3 is ideal for runners who want a firmer shoe for uptempo paces.
Soft and fast ride, didn't expect the inside of the shoe to be so roomy. If you like a more snug fit, I won't recommend this shoe.
Absolutely incredible shoe! So soft, cushioning is superb and extremely responsive! A must have!
I was a little hesitant switching from my Arahi 8's but I love these Mach X 3's. Have only done 25 miles but they are absolutely great.
