HOKA Mach 6 Review
Will the latest upgrades propel the HOKA Mach 6 to the number one seed for daily trainers and onto the finals? Or will we be left with a major upset? Read on to find out.
It feels good to run fast in the HOKA Mach 6.
Have your runs felt stagnant lately? Not anymore. These lightweight trainers are your key to unlocking everyday speed. The new super critical foam is fine-tuned for extra energy return, giving you the perfect amount of snappy responsiveness and bouncy cushioning to push the pace and keep your legs feeling fresh.
“I tested the Mach 6 on an 8-mile run with 30-second pickups every mile. I noticed that it felt peppier and better for up-tempo runs than the Mach 5,” says Kate, who’s currently training for a half-marathon. “I was able to get a good turnover going, and picking up the pace every mile felt smooth.” Read more from our HOKA Mach 6 review.

The Hoka Mach 6 trainers are an excellent choice for a daily trainer! Great for everyday miles and also, to pick the pace up if you need to. I’ve run in all sorts of conditions and surfaces…grip in wet weather very good! I also took it on light trails and gravel roads. The outsoles are not to mushy and not too firm, providing adequate protection at all paces. This shoe would be one my of top choices, if I needed a shoe to bring on a trip with me , to get in some mileage. Very versatile shoe!
These shoes have the perfect amount of cushion, support, rock, and bounce. I'm on my constantly on my feet while I work, lots of standing, walking, squatting, and kneeling. My feet feel revitalized!
Love the Mach6
I needed a neutral shoe due to issues with plantar fascitis. I purchased the inserts from Fleet Feet as well. The combination of the inserts with the MACH 6 are amazing. My heel does not ache all day while wearing these!
Love the Hoka shoes. Helped my foot issues a few years ago and still helping.
I have always worn Hoka Bondi or Cliftons. I am enjoying the lighter version of a Hoka shoe. The Mach 6 doesn’t feel heavy when I am walking.
The shoe is very comfortable. I have arthritis and other problems with my feet and the wide shoe width has given me a little bit more room and seems to be comfortable so far. Thank you.
This is my third pair of Mach 6s. They're light, low to the ground and has a rocker motion. They feel a little more firm fresh out of the box and have a soft bounce as you continue to add mileage onto the shoes. I use them for everyday runs, short and long.
great and super comfy
