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.
Details:
- Upper: The lightweight and breathable creel jacquard mesh upper feels like air conditioning for your feet while extra padding along the heel collar and a gusseted tongue give you a performance fit with foot-hugging comfort to go the distance.
- Midsole: The new super critical EVA foam midsole is composed of multiple tiny cells (imagine running on millions of small air bubbles), which offer more responsiveness at a lighter weight than traditional midsole compounds. The result is a firm yet peppy ride.
- Outsole: Strategic rubber coverage on the outsole gives you confident footing while you’re turning corners and running at top speed.

What’s New
HOKA updated the Mach 6 by switching from a dual-density midsole previously used in the Mach 5 to a single-layer super critical foam midsole. Other updates include a creel jacquard upper with zonal breathability and refinements to the collar and tongue. New strategic rubber outsole coverage gives you better traction on the road as well.
Who It’s Best For
This is a great performance running shoe that is durable enough for daily training, yet light and snappy for picking up the tempo or even racing.
“I’d recommend the Mach 6 to anyone who likes a lightweight trainer that is ready to pick up the pace,” Kate said in our HOKA Mach 6 review. “If you’re looking for a speed day shoe without a carbon plate, and with some decent cushioning, this is a great choice. I also think it’s good for people who like a firm-ish feel.”
Why You’ll Love It
You’ll love the lively feel of this lightweight trainer thanks to its responsive midsole and smooth transitions from heel to toe.
