A do it all lightweight trainer perfect for the tempo category.Bought this as a replacement daily trainer in a hurry and it’s done fairly well overall, it’s snappy and fast with enough padding underfoot to keep you comfy on long runs as well as training runs, short, sessions and progressive whatever you throw at it it’ll handle.They’re lightweight and durable with a firmer snappy feel, highly responsive and work best when putting it through faster paces. Definitely worth a try especially at its price point. They have some decent colour ways too.

I purchased these three weeks ago for my first sprint triathlon on August 11th. I had been nursing a sore achilles tendon and ran on it for the first time since July 18th. I have been a big fan of the Mach 5 and hoped that the Mach 6 delivered the same experience. I was not disappointed. The run was comfortable, provided the support I require for my running style, and unbelievably light for the amount of comfort and support. I went for the bigger width this time because I need to add inserts for my specific foot issues, and the extra toe box width provided the best experience I have had so far with any running shoes.

I bought the Mach 5 last year, to training for a very fast event. They were very good for that. I wore the soles down in those and it was time to get a new pair.I thought HOKA was going to ruin a good pair of shoes, like they do almost every year, when they change it.I was very pleasantly surprised that this year’s Mach 6 was not worse than the Mach 5, only different.It’s very soft and comfortable under my foot. That’s very good. We will see if it is as fast as the Mach 5. It may be used for more of a recovery or slow run day but we’ll see.

I've bought 10+ pairs of Hokas (several Carbon X2s, a couple Cliftons, a couple Rincons, and Machs, including this shoe's predecessor), and this is the first one that squeezed my toes. I trained with the Mach 6s in rotation for a few weeks and approximately 60 miles to break them in before an ironman in early September. Though I noticed a tiny bit of toe-tip discomfort after long runs in those weeks, I didn't expect major issues in the race. Unfortunately, my big toes on both feet really took a beating on a course with only a couple small but steep hills where I probably descended faster than I should have and put banging pressure on the forefoot and my quads. I'm aware that feet swell in a long workout and that my legs were tired and likely not running as smoothly ... MoreI've bought 10+ pairs of Hokas (several Carbon X2s, a couple Cliftons, a couple Rincons, and Machs, including this shoe's predecessor), and this is the first one that squeezed my toes.

I'm aware that feet swell in a long workout and that my legs were tired and likely not running as smoothly as I'd like...but yikes, it was brutal by the end. Now 2 weeks past race day and both big toes' nails are purplish blue - a first for me after 20+ marathons. So, I guess I'm saying this was the first pair of 13s that seemed too short for my foot, and I paid a price. Having tried on 14s in Cliftons a couple weeks prior, I expect that the 14 in this shoe would have been too long and clownlike. I freaking love Hokas (and this model in particular has a great feel underfoot, nice rocker motion, good durability to the rubber and great midsole rebound), but this has soured me a bit, and I'm considering returning to a more foot-shaped shoe, like the brand I used to run in, for my next marathon in about 6 weeks. It's a bummer, because at the expo pre-Ironman, I tried on the Mach X 2 and thought that would be next, but not so much now.Finally, I think they're pretty great shoes and WOULD recommend them to a friend, but only if they can size up a half size (not an option for size 13 or higher like me).
So bad :( I wanted them to work but they just don’t. The carbon plate is super responsive, but the fit of this shoe is absurd. The tongue and top of the shoe is SO TIGHT it would cause pain if I had these on for more than 30 minutes. I bought these for a race and I just can’t wear them, which is disappointing. I think I’ll have to return to the Bondi 8’s, which are a bit heavy but WAY way more comfortable on runs. Would not recommend these, they turned out to be a big waste of money
I recently purchased the Mach X. 2 days before the Mach 6 came out. I took the X back and get the 6. So glad I did. I'm not a huge fan of plated shoes. I know, that makes me weird and old. I owned the Mach 5 and liked them a lot. Only thing I was disappointed in, durability. They wore out fast. Which seems to be a trait of "super foams". The new 6's have added a little rubber on the bottom which should make them a tad more durable. The new foam feels fantastic! So many foams out there, soft, bouncy, frim, old, new. This one feels just right for me. Thank you you Hoka! You did good work!
The Hoka Mach 6 are great shoes. At the first runs these shoes were a bit too tight in the toe box area, and I thought I was going to regret purchasing them, but after 2 or 3 runs they shoes started to become softer and then after that I did not feel anything uncomfortable. Things I like about these shoes is that they are very light at 8oz but have sufficient cushioning around specially at the hill. Overall great shoes. I bought them to run a marathon, but I have not done it yet. Hopefully they will work out for such a long distance.
I bought these after doing some research to fill in my need of a new daily trainer that can handle longer runs. I was looking for something close to the zoomX pegasus turbo 2 as those are the ideal trainers for me. I'm usually a Nike guy and have been using the Invincible 2 for long runs and racing in the vapor next percent 2. Both of those shoes are incredible and I figured I'd give another brand a chance and be adventurous. First time wearing them I walked around for a bit and they definitely are good for support and comfort while strolling around but nothing crazy. But... I ran 5.5 yesterday and I was shocked how unresponsive these were. I'm not sure if I need to break them in more or if they are defective but there is zero energy return and the shoe forces you ... MoreI bought these after doing some research to fill in my need of a new daily trainer that can handle longer runs.

I ran 5.5 yesterday and I was shocked how unresponsive these were. I'm not sure if I need to break them in more or if they are defective but there is zero energy return and the shoe forces you to land on the middle of you foot. And as someone who likes to land on the forefront of my stride I was really struggling. My ankles and knees were worn down by the end of my run which is something that I never struggle with. I plan on returning them and getting the peg 40s with that credit. Again, these shoes 100% could've been defective because I felt as if I was running with no shoes on and the foam was almost requiring me to exert more energy opposed to helping me with my run and supporting my joints. I'm not sure if anyone has recommendations or if I should give another Hoka shoe a chance.
My husband has been wearing Hoka's for 5 years now and was excited with the Mach 6. I ordered them online like I normally do. He put them on and right away took them off. The material is lighter but he felt way more unstable than any other Hoka he has worn in the past. And it was also narrower too. I took them back to the local RR and he tried on other brands. The New Balance 880 was the best fit for him that most resembled the Hoka's of the past. Unfortunately, the drastic change of the Mach 5 to Mach 6 has now converted him into a New Balance wearer.
I have been running in Hoka shoes for years. For a long time in the carbon… which Hoka stopped making. So I switched over to the Mach. My first Mach was a Mach 5. I decent shoe that I had no issues with. But then Hoka changed the design and we got the Mach 6.The Mach 6’s toe box design is terrible. My toes hurt like crazy after 5 km of running. After 30, my feet are in a great deal of pain. I was hoping that it might just need some time to break in. But I have now done 100km in them, and they still hurt. I have a marathon coming soon, and there is no way I can use these…. So I just bought new shoes - not Hoka.
