Features
Run at jetsetting paces in the HOKA Mach 5.
Get ready to perform—the HOKA Mach 5 offers a snappy and lively ride with its new PROFLY+ midsole that offers a lightweight and responsive feel directly underfoot and rubberized EVA below for traction. The PROFLY+ foam provides for a softer and bouncier ride than ever before.
The upper is a stripped-down, breathable single-layer creel jacquard engineered mesh that gives you a great lockdown around the midfoot and extra room in the forefoot. The flared heel holds the foot in while you pound the pavement. Plus, the gusseted tongue lays flat and is minimal with strategic cushioned pads.
Combining the best parts of the Mach Supersonic and Mach 4, the HOKA Mach 5’s uptempo ride will keep your legs feeling fresh and put a pep in your step.

What’s New
HOKA combined the best parts of the HOKA Mach 4 and HOKA Mach Supersonic to make an even better Mach 5. They added PROFLY+ to the dual-density midsole for a softer and bouncier ride. HOKA also redesigned the upper giving it a single creel jacquard mesh for increased breathability, added a new heel for a better lockdown and a thinner tongue for more comfort.
Who It’s Best For
The HOKA Mach 5 is a great performance running shoe. It is durable enough for daily training but is light and snappy for speedwork or even racing.
Why You’ll Love It
Break out the aviators , because you will love feeling like you are flying in the HOKA Mach 5. The new midsole is bouncier and softer than ever, letting you pick up the pace whenever you feel the need for speed.
