About this video: The Hoka Mach 6 review is here and there are some big changes from the outgoing Mach 5. The Mach 6 is an everyday road running shoe for all distances geared towards those slightly faster runs like your tempo sessions or anything where you want to pick up the pace a little bit. The Mach is one of Hoka's most popular models so follow along today as I give you all the facts and figures, my thoughts about the shoe and all the differences between this and the Hoka Mach 5. Is it worth the upgrade?

Been waiting for this review from you Ben!
A few hours ago I bought 2 pairs of mach 6, blue for me and yellow for my wife, before that I almost took gel nimbus 26 but then I chose Hoka Mach 6, the two shops are close to each other. Previously I jogged for 3 minutes with this Mach 6 at the Hoka store, these shoes are light and stick to my feet, the tongue is soft, it doesn't hurt the skin on my ankles, that's why I chose Hoka mach 6 over gel nimbus 26.
I would wear Hoka Mach 6 for daily running and I hope it would beyond my expectation.
Iam subs to you.
Thank you for the review
Another great review. Just got some yesterday. Super excited- loved Mach 4s and love the “bird of paradise/tropical cocktail” orange colour way! Sadly had to send back and go up half a size (length rather than width the issue).
The 6 is definitely a huge upgrade. I’ve been running in it quite a bit and it feels great. The only thing I would’ve done differently is probably go for the wide version. It’s much more narrow than the Mach 5 and my foot could use a bit of extra room.
Mach 6 is fantastic. I did a 20-mile run this weekend, and my legs felt great afterward.
Very thorough, well done!
Great review 👍🏃🏻♂️
Running novice here: I already have the clifton 8 and enjoying it. But as I start doing some interval sessions lately I feel that is a bit too soft and/or a bit unstable. Would this complement the clifton ? Also compared to the clifton 8, is this narrower? Thanks in advance Ben
I’d be really interested to see and hear your comparisons between some of the lightweight shoes such as Saucony Endorphin Speed 4, Brooks Hyperion, NB Fuelcell Rebel and this one.
Ben - any chance you will be reviewing the Hoka Cielo Road? Heard some interesting things about this up tempo model.
I used the Mach 5 as part of marathon training for long runs that had pick up paces during it or tempo runs. Rebel or Mach 6 or Mach 5? I think if I can get cheap 5 is the decision while I can
I have to say I was shocked when I received the Mach 6, so different to the Mach 5 (the shoe I did my first Half in) and I was worried about how they would feel on a run. Well, fears were allayed within the first couple of hundred meters on my first run in them on Sunday. Super comfortable, very responsive, found the fit better than the Mach 5 (I had to tighten the laces up so much I have a lot of creasing on the top of the shoe) and overall very happy with them, great shoe!
Sent the 6 back, hated it compared with the 5. So narrow and the grip takes away what made the 5 special
Hi Ben, do you recommend for first timer runners that'll join on half marathon? That doesn;t have much budget to buy those carbon plated racing shoes.
This year is crazy (and will still be). Many many good shoes are launched. Certainly can’t buy everything 😢
I have a pair of Mach 5s with 120 miles on them and love them, but the wear on the exposed EVA is pretty crazy, enough that I think the drop on them has changed.
I already bought the Mach 6 and have 20 miles in them over my first 3 workouts in them and love them even more than the 5s.
Same here. The wear on the outsole is ridiculous, it's a shame I couldn't use my favorite shoes twice as long. How'd you compare the 5 to the 6, in terms of softness/cushion/responsiveness? Or maybe you can even compare 'em to the Endorphin Speed 3, Asics Glideride,...or other shoes I might've had in my rotation? :)
Interested in this shoe as a new daily trainer (and possibly the Rebel), but the durability of the midsole is making me hold off until I can find longer term reviews.
I’m currently in a 2e which is tight so I’m worried if I go a 2e in the newer model it will be too tight. Is there something else available that provides the same responsiveness in a wide fit? Thanks
I tried Hoka Rincons a few years back, and I may have gotten a half size too big, but both pairs gave me weird foot cramps and soleus injuries - I usually run shoes that have about a 4 mm drop too! When I went to get new trail shoes I tried the Hoka speedgoats, and immediately threw them off my feet after trying them on because they were way too narrow and knew that they would eat my feet.
I recently purchased Speedgoat 5s and for me they are wide enough, could be a little narrower. It feels as they are too loose after some time, so you retighten them.
And i used a lacelock before. They also could be a little firmer - me having 90kg isn't helping for hard downhill.
I read that the brandnew Speedgoat 6 improves in those areas.
I now find it difficult to distinguish between the Clifton (many years favorite of mine) and the Mach 6.
Let’s hope the upcoming new Pegasus Turbo will sit well in the niche that the Mach 5 leaves behind empty now 😊
Being 6’3” I’m not a fan of all these new shoes with high stacks. Would love to see a roundup of more sensible shoes with around 27mm stack height
Can do a video on best runners for treadmill running.
I wonder how's the durability on a Hoka shoes coz I've always read somewhere that they don't exactly have a good durability,especially if this is going to be a daily pair.
How is it compared to Novablast 4 in relation to midsole and energy return?
How aggressive is the rocker? That has always been my complaint with Hoka. The rocker is always far too aggressive.
Good looking shoe,like the previous version
i have the mach 6 wide version, first test out of the box was a 34k run and they felt amazing every step of it.
I notice that Seth said they weren't a shoe for long runs, but I presume when Ben says "daily shoe" he means easy, medium-long, long, and everything that's not up on toes speed stuff. Do you agree with Ben on that?
For sure, did a marathon on them not so long ago. I am not ultra fast, but i think 3.39 is decent.
I didn't like the feel of the mach 5 at all so I wasn't even considering the 6 until I tried it on and really liked it. Excited to take it out on my long run
How's the durability on this shoe? I've logged 850mi / 1350km on my Mach 4's and they still look and feel great, so wondering how the new iteration of the shoe compares :)
what is the max weight of a runner?
Are the Mach 6 better shoe for daily trainning and half/full marathon, over the Clifton 9 and Nimbus 26?
I think yes, Nimbus is to clungy for every day running. Cilfton is good but for me to narrow.
Just here to hear you pronounce “Mach”😊. Love the accent
You mean 'Mach' in English???
Nothing like the Mach 5. The 6 (Wide) has a firmer ride and higher stack. My tendon plate injury returned after two weeks running on them. Too bad. Now I have to search for a alternative
I have the Nike Zoom Pegasus 32 and just started running... Are the ok or should i look into a new pair?
Buy something new. The latest model is 40, so your probably lost a lot of cushioning as the foam ages if you use the shoes or not.
@@anneliesbeijer262 Thanks! Do you by any chance know some shoes that don't cost too much?
hey man, just discovered your channel and its amazing, so much great reviews and advises. I was wondering what shoe is the best for fast 3k, I need to do it in less than 11 minutes so I'm searching for a very fast shoe so If you have any tips on wich one is the best I would love to know!
I have 2 pairs of Mach 4s ( 200 mile and 0 mile) and just bought 2 more pairs of 5s ( 170 miles and 0 on the two new pairs). Likely going to buy the 6 soon!
Why dont try other shoes 😂
@@user-sx8rv5pz7uI have about 20 or so pairs of running shoes currently. I also have 3 pairs of Clifton 9s and 3 pairs of superblasts. I tend to add multiple pairs of models I really like.
Or start running not collecting😅
why wouldn’t you just run in your shoes you have 😂
Good for you! I bet they perform great in the boxes 😂
And the question is… if i’m a us10,5 in Clifton 9 and bondi… am i a 10,5 in this mach 6?
Mach 6 better 11 if you have narrow foot than 10.5
Hi Ben I’m a big fan of your channel and always use you reviews when getting my next set of trainers. You mention that you sell trainers you no longer use. I’m curious is this via eBay or a specialist site ?
better than the Endorphin speed 3?
Is this a good walking shoe?
Ran 10k race in hokas 5 today ,great although i think i need to bite the bullet and buy a plated racer
Go ahead, keep cheating!
@ i havnt bought a racer yet how can i be cheating. Keep your smart arse comments to yourself 🤡
@Get a grip
@ 🤡
cheating?
This or Saucony Speed 4?
The saucony will last longer... 😊
Is it Mack or Mauk? Asking for a friend
The sizing on these things are way off... Have been wearing Mach's since version 3.
Got them, hated them, sent them back!
I'm 59, just watched your "sprinting" vid but it didn't talk about sprinting. I don't want to be a runner, I want to sprint 3x per week, blending it in with yoga, weightlifting, hiking & a bit of water skiing. The first time I overdid it & strained my hamstring, so I took a month off, when I resumed, I strained the other hamstring & as you said, my calves were incredibly sore. Would pls do a vid on how a reasonably fit late 50s / early '60s person would ease into sprinting? You put trainees on a 14-day cycle, & said to mix in swimming & walking, but did you say how to mix it in, is that on the rest days, I thought you said substitute alternative sports for running days, but maybe you could please clarify that too? Thank you
So you are telling us this is better than Saucony Endorphin Speed 4, Puma Deviate Nitro 2, Asics Novablast 4, and Adidas boaton 12??
Depends how he classifies those shoes. Other than the novablast, all those shoes are plated supertrainers
obviously going on ebay and not into rotation. no excitement. u can see
For cushioning, I've never had a better shoe than a Hoka. They were like running on air. Unfortunately, they were a bit wide for my foot, so they would pinch on my insole when going for a longer run. This narrower update may suit me better.
Hoka is a bit of a ripoff here in Japan due to the weak yen. NB Rebel 4 is the clear winner being 40% cheaper!
I can't stand the new update. Too high and too little ground feel. Gone from a fast fun sporty Porshe to a boring Toyota Camry Hybrid if I was to compare. Stocked up on the Mach 5s.
Hope Hoka bring out something sporty and fun like the Mach 5 in the future.
No. A Daily shoe should last linger then e couple of runs before the heel counter rips to shreds.
For me better than Rebel V4, only disappointed with the midsole durability
More cushion and stability and less responsiveness seems to be a trend for a lot of everyday trainers now.
Most important: weight. So I shall stick with them Rebels:). 276g is heavy!
For a US size 13 (UK 12) it's not bad given the stack! It's 235g for a reference size 9 per running warehouse
Yeah keep in mind how huge his shoe is. In a standard men’s size 9 US (8 in UK), the difference between this and the rebel is negligible.
anyone orthopedic doctor in here? is it that shoe realy healthy for your ankle? i mean is like you running on cushion sofa squishy soft shoe, im not a doctor but i think too much running on soft cushion bed isn't good for your foot.
i’m mind blown by your comment my brother 🤯🤯🤯
The drop is 9,6mm, not what Hoka claims! It's just a EVA based foam. Not super Critical foam. Supercritical formulation that feels quite good and better than ever in the series-it’s still EVA.
Im finding there are 2 camps in regard to hoka running shoes - people who love and run only in hoka and rearly try other brands , and people who hate and stay away from hoka road running- im in later camp and dont think that will chsnge any time soon 😅
Adidas Super Rise = Best Daily Shoe of 2024
I got some arahi 6s and they gave me the worst blisters I've ever had, anyone else just get massacred by hokas?
Haha that shoe ruined me too, the first shoe I wore when getting back into running. Turned me off from hoka but I kind of want to try this Mach 6
hoka is definitely not suited for everyone. Just ran my first marathon in the clifton 9s and had a lot of blisters aswell
@@enur2542 do you know what about them is so specialised? I got a pretty much dead straight blister from below my big toe joint backwards to the middle of my food
I had the same. For me it was the insole. Fixing that fixed everything.
Don't like Hokas, road or trail. This one sounds a bit interesting though but I think im staying with my NB More V4 for the road
Hoka and always getting narrower. Shame....shame.
Cheating shoes should be banned from racing.
