I’m super happy with mine, I’ve had them for about 100 miles now. I was going to get the new rebel but they’re just too wide for my feet, glad I got the machs though. The midsole feels amazing, they’re nice and light, and overall I feel like I can really do pretty much anything in them.
I'm the opposite. The mach 6 was way too narrow for my feet and the rebel v4 fits like a glove.
glad to hear that they're good for easy and long runs as well since right now I am searching for a good daily trainer that I can also use for my speedy training days. been getting recommended the Clifton 9s a lot but I think the lighter Mach 6s will be better for me. thank you for the review.
Just picked a pair up from my local running shop for £126. So shop around. Awesome shoe
When are we getting the alphafly3 v ASICS sky paris 👀👀👀
Mach 4 & Clifton 8 great rotation.
my fav hoka now! wide ver avail! 😊
Seems like this shoe is pretty versatile. I was going to reach for the Ride 17 because I mainly run at low speed but this one seem to do it all. Any advice? Thanks.
I do supinate, how stable is the Mach6.? I loved previous versions but outsole compressed quickly on the lateral side and ruined longevity severely. Thx
I bought them and ran a tempo 7k in them. I picked up bad shin pain afterward and have been injured for 2 weeks now so now I’m terrified to run in them and need to decide if I return them under warranty 😖
I tried on the Hoka Mach 6, it was little bit too snug. Which was disappointing as the mach 4 and 5 fit great. So I'm no longer interested in the mach 6. On the bright side it makes my decision little easier because my options are New Balance rebel v4 and Saucony ride 17. I had tried them on and I liked the shoes. Saucony ride 17 was a bit too wide, New Balance rebel v4 fit like a glove just like the mach 5.
Between Mach 6 and Rebel v4 for daily (can switch off with these?) -- Endorphin Speed 4 for longer runs? Thoughts?!
What does that mean, super critical foam?
Would you recommend this as a daily trainer option for a heavier runner (Male/ 13stone/ 6.11 in height/ 4.50-5.30 per/km split speed) for sub 20km runs?
You’re probably better off with something more supportive and cushioned
I currently run my weekday kms (5-10km runs) 3 times a week in Mach 5 and Rincon 3s. Prefer the bounce response from the former (the Rincons always felt a bit flimsy) Both are near of life so I need a replacement. Ideally just a single shoe this time.
Fwiw, i do my slower, longer Sunday runs in Clifton 9s.
Asics superblast!
Is it Mack or Mauk? Asking for a friend
These are great, snug but nice I dont have the widest feet
Anyone has already ran/considering to run a full marathon at an easy pace with the Mach 6? Did that with the Mach 5 and loved the ride but I'm a bit sceptical about this version...
Mach 6 is unreal much better cushion bounce feel that the 5, this will do a marathon easily, the only running shoe I'll wear now for the foreseeable until the 7 turns up
If I’m a comfortable 10.5 UK on the Mach 5 am I still a 10.5 UK on the Mach 6?
Could you run a marathon in these?
I'm 68 years old & I do hill repeats 4 times a week. I don't jog or run 10-minute miles. What lightweight forward-moving shoe would you recommend? I''m 5'7 150 lbs.
How is the toe box? I've had some bad experience with Hoka toe boxes. I'd also like clarification why in the UK it's the Hawka Mack? Are we pronouncing it wrong? Here's it's the Santa HO HO HOKA and the Johann Sebastian Mach.
so do you think is it narrow like the mach 5 or even more?
All reviewers say Mach 6 is very narrow. The Mach 5 is actually fairly normal; it is wider than my Speed 2 and much better than the Saucony Triumph 21, which I had to return as the toe-box was so tight.
I tried the Mach 6 on in store and it felt narrow indeed. Picked up the Mach 5 instead and it is ideal! Picked up the Speed 2 this week also and it is narrow as heck, especially the heel. Gonna return the Speed 2!
I think my foot is pretty normal, neither narrow nor wide. I do prefer foot-shaped toe boxes (Topo) but so far, the Mach 5 seems spacious enough everywhere.
@@kentshultz6157 I bought the Mach 6, but in wide fitting; it's one of my favourite shoes now. I like the Mach 5, and it's one of the most comfortable shoes I've had, but the Mach 6 is more versatile and better for longer runs as the Mach 5 foam deteriorates after about 8 miles
@@st4331 cool, thanks for sharing! I haven't tried a long run in my new Mach 5s yet but had planned to use them for easy runs less than 10 miles.
@@kentshultz6157 They are perfect for those runs, as good as any shoes I've tried, and the comfort may give them the nod. It's nice to know they are happy to pick up the pace of you feel like it. They are so comfortable I bought a second pair for general wear and taking on holiday.
Went to a shop where they had both 5 and 6 wearing my Clifton 8. Did a 30 min comparison and the 6 felt too similar to my existing Cliftons, not worth to buy. The 5 on the other hand felt actually different: I could sprint in it for 15-20 meters and notice the increased stability. Mach6 and Clifton 8 would be too soft and would bounce my foot all over the place (like stepping on a semi - inflated ball). Not to mention the price difference. I went home with the 5.
That's why I think the best thing to do before buying is to go to a running shop and test a few shoes and decide which feels the best. For example they are pro testers and all of them find one shoe to be perfect but when you go to wear it you may feel completely different.
Yeah doesn't seem like the same shoe. completely changed midsole and outsole especially the fact it's not grooved means no flexibility. I think the 5 platform and flex actually made it feel unique and nimble. the 6 seems like just another high stack stiff clone.
Grip in wet is bad.
About the fit,at first the fit was very tight after a run,all good.
Move somewhere with better weather
I tried test running a hoka on cobblestone outside a shop and immediately slipped hard and landed on my bum. That bruise lasted a week and I learned my lesson: hoka makes crappy outsoles
What's a better alternative? Rebel v4?
Terrible grip on wet ground. Worst of all of my running shoes of various brands. Interestingly not many YT reviewers talked about that. Otherwise quite comfy and responsive non plated trainer.
@@GhettoSuguruI would say Boston 12 if u want a secure footing on wet, and similar, though slightly firmer, feel.
to mix with gym session, better to pick this or clifton 9?
Clifton is more rigid. I wouldn t do gym in running shoe foams. You need something flatter and RIGID. I use a salomon xt 6 currently.
Do not use running shoes for the gym...especially hoka which already has durability issues in their foam...you.will compress and kill your midsole.foam super early....go for a firmer foam if you must use a running shoe
Get yourself a bargain get the Mach 5.
what a terrily boring colourway! Glad I've got the red/orange! Great daily trainer btw!
👟🍇 (-🍇) = 👟
MIKE BRO YOU TOOK AGEEEES IN SAYIN YOU CAN RUN LONGER IN IT JESUS CHRIST BRO FUUUUCKKK
Dude’s the master of taking 5 minutes to say what he could in 5 seconds.. Drives me mental.
@@doncarlospipely8852literally the same. It s soooo hard to watch him, holy god damn
You reviewers talk a lot, so which one does all and you runners are totally satisfied? 😂
Mach 6 or Novablast 4?
Yowana did a comparison test; quite different shoes apparently
