Hoka Mach 6 Full Review
The Mach is back! The Mach 4 was a favorite shoe of mine, and for some reason the Mach 5 just felt like it fell a little flat. I also didn't like the lack of durability in the Mach series. With the Mach 6, we are talking about a whole new shoe and new chapter in the Mach series life! It features a new outsole, updated midsole and a few surprises that might require you to finesse your usual sizing a bit.

Full Review of the New Balance Fuelcell Rebel V3
Hello bro.. which is most max Plush cushion puma magmax or sc trainer v3
I think MagMax feels more plush. The SC Trainer has the carbon plate in there which will reduce the overall sense of cushion a tad.
I tried this on in store and feels really good but felt a lot like the 5 to me and I still have miles left in the 5 so won't splurge for the 6
I think it’s a great upgrade and should be a pretty seamless transition from 5-6. Shoes aren’t getting cheaper though so get the miles you can out of those 5’s!
swag
This or invincible 3?
I haven’t had the chance to run in the invincible, so I’m sorry to say I can’t give an opinion yet.
Max Payne!
How you feel about those shoes since im as weight as yours. Do you have 1080v13 as well?
I don’t have the 1080 but I love these. Been working on my written review this weekend for the website then I’ll get the video review out asap. It’s got a lot of cushion and some get up and go as well. I won’t use them for interval sessions but for long runs and even some tempo runs they are awesome!
@@SpiritOfRunning nice, thanks for the review. Hope it works really well for the cushion, since I don't feel good enough in my nimbus 25
If they are comparable, what do you prefer, SC Trainer v3 or Mach X 2?
Hard to say as I’ve currently only gotten one run in each.
What kind of running vest are you using? Looking for a good one for my trail runs.
Testing out the Runclub vest, one of the few that comes in XXL. So far I like it. It does run small though, so the XXL is snug, but doesn’t bounce around. Materials seem decent as well. Hard to beat the price too.
@@SpiritOfRunning cool, thanks!
How did you like the shoes? I was considering these as a heavy runner
It’s a fantastic shoe. I really like how stable it is in the heal, especially since a lot of my runs include walking.
Good work!
Thank you!
Is this shoe pretty versatile still?
I’ve only had one run so far, but did bridge repeats in them before I started recording and then ran easy during the recording of the video. It has a lot of versatility in it.
Mach 6 is a wonderful successor to the Mach 5. Like to the video.
Thank you!
Your running style looks very smooth in the shoes. How does the shoe feel for you?
I dig it! It feels nice and smooth. Has plenty of pop and cushion. Definitely a huge upgrade. Fit is tighter than the Cielo x1, though not unpleasant. Completely different than Mach x1.
Does it seem pretty versatile still?
Great review! I noticed that you have also tried the Hyperion Max 2. I have both and found them to be very similar to the point where I might sell my Brooks. What are your thoughts when comparing the two?
I am a big fan of both, though for different reasons. For someone my size the superblast makes a better long run shoe I think, especially as I move through the training blocks. When it comes to tempo work, I think they are both fantastic, and do the job equally as well.
it's great to have opinion from a heavy runner. Most shoes are made for people <75kg or fast runner while most of us are not that light/fast.
I do my best. The whole reason I started this channel was that I couldn’t find someone who looked average or like me that reviewed shoes.
@@SpiritOfRunning Mister, me identifico con usted. Te puedo seguir en Strava ?
@manpomares absolutely, I am on Strava as Spirit of Running as well!
@@SpiritOfRunning Si, ya te he encontrado. Sigue subiendo videos. Soy un gran fan de zapatos de correr.
Keep it up man. Consistency and nutrition is the key. I’ve ran over 400 miles in the last 4.5 months and I’ve lost 40 pounds. And it’s not the weight that’s most important, it’s our overall health. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see a ton of results all at once. If you eat right, exercise and stay consistent, you’ll feel 10 years younger in 6 months. I guarantee it!! You got this man 🙏
Thanks man!
How do they fit? I love the glycerin but I wonder if the toe box will be too narrow for me
It has a very generous fit for a speedier shoe. If you love the glycerin you will like the fit of this shoe as well I think.
how do you like the shoes so far?? i just got them 😊
I’m a big fan! Working on written review now and video review hopefully this weekend!
Which trail system is that?
Less trail system than a “trail” next to a concrete running path next to a creek.
@@SpiritOfRunning Some of the best kind lol
Nice colour combination 🎉
That color way is one of my favorites!
Definitely a happy path ✌️ That looks like Fun and feels motivating. Keep on.
I love it!
Thumbs up for the very interesting video. You address everything that is relevant. I was looking for a daily trainer and could find one here. It would also be time to revive my lost love for Hoka. I found the last models all just average. But I think it's particularly great that you're testing the alternative uses. Very good eye for the essentials. And above all, chapeu for the great choice of colors. keep it up. 😉✌️
Thanks so much!!!!
Do you know how this compares to on cloudeclipse and hoka superflow?
It has more cushion than either the eclipse or I’m guessing you meant the Skyflow. Its closest comparison to other shoes would be Asics Superblast. Direct comparisons to eclipse: it has more cushion, less in shoe volume, bouncier, softer and quieter (no torque plate to squeak). Direct comparison to Skyflow: softer, similar responsiveness, similar in shoe volume.
Hi! How comfortable is that shoe? Should i buy it,its worth the price?
I’m a fan! It’s a fantastic trail shoe that also feels quite nice on the roads and it moves between mediums very nicely!
@@SpiritOfRunning tnxs for ur opinion i will definitely check this shoe🤟👍👍
Go off king 🫡 post some more reviews, you get all the new releases and as a bigger runner I am here for it
Mach 6 is coming soon!
Nope!
not for your weight, try glycerin better
I bought the NB Fresh More V5. Do you think the cushioning and softness of the Puma MagMax are much better than the NB Fresh More V5? Or ASICS SUPERBLAST ? Thank you.
I’d say that these are all in the same category for sure. Each shoe approaches the cushion in a slightly different way, I was actually surprised by the fact that the More feels like it wants to go faster during runs. I expected it to fully be a recovery shoe but it’s got some get up and go when you want to. I don’t think you have a bad choice between the three.
@@SpiritOfRunning Thank you. I have been trying to find shoes with the best shock absorption and soft comfort running shoes. I had the NB 1080 V13, Fresh More 5, Nike Invincible 3 , NB SC Trainer 2 ,and Hoka Bondi 7. But I still feel that the cushioning and softness are not sufficient.
The MagMax would be one to consider then for sure. Nitrofoam is supercritical foam so it has a bit more bounce along with a massive stack height.
... Is the nitro same fuel cell feeling ????@@SpiritOfRunning
Like Fuelcell, Puma has a few configurations of Nitrofoam. This is nitrogen infused Peba in the MagMax and has a lot of bounce! I’d say it is right in line with the Fuelcell bounce and both give each other a run for the money.
Hello!! Did you go TTS or half size down/up?
This is always the biggest issue for me with puma but with this shoe and color they nailed the fit true to size for me
How is it different from the ghost max 2 on behalf of feel and performance? Thanks
I feel like these two are on such different levels. The midsole materials are totally different. The Hyperion Max 2 wants to go fast but you can run easy in it. The Ghost Max 2 wants to be an easy long run shoe in that you can do pickups in but prefers to settle in if that makes sense.
@@SpiritOfRunning Appreciate the response, much reflects about the difference of cielo x1 and skyward comparison
I agree, I think they each have tendencies toward one direction or the other and can do both, but if you have the budget, I love pairing ghost max 2 with Hyperion max 2 or likewise with the Hoka models. Also gives shoes time to dry out down here in the Houston heat.
As far as softness would yiu be able to tell where this sits interms of Asics nimbus, superblast and Puma Magnify?
The most direct competitor is the superblast. It’s got a little more cushioned step in than superblast but still feels nice and bouncy on the run!
@SpiritOfRunning thank you! I love the nitro foam and SB. On my longrun today I confirmed that the Nimbus bottoms out too much under my weight to be comfortable after 4 miles because of my running form and toe off. Thank you. I will be wording my pair of MM today
Can you tell me your shoe size&weight?
Size 10, about 265lbs
@@SpiritOfRunning sorry T.T I am asking shoe weight.
Men’s 9 is 10.2 ounces. Women’s size 7 is 8.4.
@@SpiritOfRunning I appreciate it. It will release tomorrow in Korea so i just wonder the weight. no information here.. have a good one~!
@user-ix3fy6ox8k it’s a fantastic trainer. I really enjoy mine!
I need it now
They are awesome!
Hola 👋 . Qué tal serán para el usó de caminar solamente ?. Me gustan ya que me darian altura.
They would do very nicely for walking only and definitely add plenty of height!
Merci 👍@@SpiritOfRunning
How are they? Anything you can compare them to that’s currently out?
I would say this is definitely Puma making a statement on the supermax cushion scene! From a cushion perspective it’s in line with Asics Superblast or New Balance More. It’s got a really nice bouncy feel. First run was an easy hr run so not sure how it does at speed, but I think it’s gonna have a lot of versatility based on the short pickup I did toward the end.
May I ask what are you using to record your runs…is that a drone?
I’m using the Hover X1 for a majority of my in run videos. I do use a GoPro for some closer footage and for the seated reviews too. Big fan of the Hover though, it pilots itself and has some really cool settings and features!
😂
Looks like it was a great run
It’s a good shoe for sure! Took it on a heart rate run for initial testing but plan to test it out across a range of paces.
Great work
Thank you!
Badass kit for a badass human!!
For both of us!
Great video, can you do a review?
Thank you! Working on the review. I’ve got a few coming down the pipeline and this is one of them. :-)
Very nice 😊 Can you say how the Deviate Nitro 3 Elite differs from its predecessor? I own version 1 and am very satisfied. It's actually my softest speed shoe.
Unfortunately I can’t, I never got a pair of the elite 1 or 2, I do think that this is one of the best speed shoes I’ve worn though.
I love the shorts!
Thank you! They are the chicknlegs brand.
How is it? I'm planning to get one. It looks comfortable for long runs.
It’s a great shoe! 361 has always made quality shoes but they tended to feel a little clunky to me. I think this shoe competes well with the Clifton, Novablast and others in the same category.
Hey Ben, I came across your channel by chance while looking for a review of Superblast 2. I like your reviews, the structure and the quality. You can tell that you are passionate about it. Please keep it up. I am very exciting to see more.
Thank you so much!!!
Just got these last week and love them. So much bouncy cushion. For some reason, I could pick up the pace a little too, probably because the slight rocker geometry. Great shoe!
They surprised me as well, far more versatility in them than I expected!
How do you like them?
I love them! Unboxed thoughts video coming soon! Wanna get one more workout in before I say anything specific.
Found these a bit firm on my first run today! Excited to hear your thoughts!
I’m still trying to figure the shoe out. It uses skyward x geometry with the supercritical foam of the Mach 6. I know I like it but finding the best words is proving difficult.
Can’t wait till they release more colors! Super cool looking and feeling shoe 😎 Epic video 💯
They have some sick colors coming down the line!
Bro gonna puncture that midsole for sure 💀
There’s no air pocket to puncture
Ohh my bad 🥺 sorry for such provoking joke@@SpiritOfRunning
You’re good, wasn’t sure what you meant. I always worry about those Nike air pods puncturing.
@@SpiritOfRunning Nah bro I really felt bad for those word , I also use to be 89kg and I now body shaming hurts 🤕 so yeah again sorry for that 😭
We’re good man. I appreciate it.
