Fordy, love this shoe! It’s taken Mach 5 to another level … light, comfortable and springy; perfect for everyday training and for up tempo 5k or 10k runs/races. So much more fun to wear than the Adidas Boston 12 👍👍
I had the 4 and it wore out at 380 kms. Felt nice but horrible durability. Just got the 6 and took them for a cheeky 8k right out of the box. Love everything about the new version. Everything just works. Rolled along at 4:30/km and felt great. My old knees wouldn’t take anything more than 15k in these but for someone looking for a lightweight responsive daily trainer the Mach 6 is top of my list. And it’s reasonably priced as well.
Great summary of these shoes👍🏻, looking forward to getting my Mach 6. Have ran in Mach 4 and Clifton 8s in the past but for a fast / comfy 10k or half defo recommend these. Be careful on sizing had to go half a size up from my usual running trainer size.
The Mach 4 was the first and only show ever to give me blisters (out of dozens and dozens I've tried). I gave them to a friend and he had the same issue. I've stayed away from HOKAs since, but the reviews for the Mach 6 have me tempted to give it another go 😅
Actually the owner of the Mach 5, I'm glad to see they finally solved a major issue which is the tongue slipping! Thanks to this new tongue with this "lace passing by"(excuse my English) I hope it won't move anymore 🙏 but definitely enthusiastic to get the 6th iteration once my 5 will be KO, thanks Fordy for the review !♥️
yeah, i have a pair of mach5, but the main issue (now 400km) for me has been that after 150km the sole was already very very scratched and consumed.....luckily the efficiency and lighness of the shoes is at high level (no way), but i clearly see than on mach6 they added something on the sole to decrease the wearing....FINALLY
Had the mach and really liked it. The 5 was even better and I've had about 5 pairs of them. Looking forward to the 6 now. The 5 for me has been my go to for everything....fast days, long days, etc. Did my first two marathons in them as well. Hopefully the 6 is even better
Good morning. Thanks for this description about the new hoka mach 6. Like to Fordy. Another comparison: Hoka mach 6 -Nb fuelcell Rebel v4. What do you think, please???. Have a great day.
My take, It’s a good shoe, love the extra cushioning however I don’t feel it as bouncy as the 5. Sizing I find similar to the 5 BUT the 6 upper doesn’t stretch like the 5 which gives it a tighter fit, hopefully it loosens a bit over time. Outsole is a good addition but I did like how quiet the 5 is with its rubberized Eva bottom.
Great review Mr F!! Just got a pair of Boston 12's using your discount code at start fitness and my goodness they are superb!! Will compliment my love for the Adiós Pro 3... Cannot wait for the foam to soften up further after some more km's but love it already
Just done my first run in Hoka Mach 6 on Fordy recommendation. Really responsive on the legs which are tired from big training block, so after 5K very impressed on recovery run thanks @Fordyruns
I dunno about this shoe.. it's chalk and cheese compared to the saucony speed 4... Feels hard and almost heavy on the feet compared to the saucony. Did you find the foam on the Mach 6 different to the cielo?
im a UK10 in Nike, have the Mach 5 in a UK10 and they come up short for me, sometimes end of toe takes a hit. Does anyone notice them coming up short? Tempted to get a 10.5 in these, ready for a fresh pair..
yes - i said it on the livestream on Monday i hadnt done enough miles in them to review. i wont rush out a review anymore... there are channels that do that well but i will wait. the rebel review will drop next week
It's pronounced mach as in speed of sound, not mac as in mac and cheese. However, the poppy/squash color it comes in does look like the baked macaroni and cheese I had for dinner last night. 😂
@FordyRuns That's ok! I've learned so much about running since watching your channel that I have no right to criticize, especially someone who is as humble as you are. A bigger thanks towards you because you deserve it because you have made me a better runner, that's for sure. 👏👍
I hate hoka with a passion. Which I tried so hard to get rid of. My first pair of runners ever where Rincon 2 and I loved them. My second and third pair of hokas where machs and Clinton's and I realize compared to endorphins ect. They're just trash.
Started running a year ago and I’ve tried about five different trainers and this is the winner by far . I love this shoe .
Thanks for doing the early review! You rock! Mach 5 was my first Hoka and I love it! Can’t wait to try the 6!
its a good shoe
Loving the Mach 6 so far! I was a big fan of the 4 and 5, but the 6 is the best yet!
the midsole is fab

Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the review Looking forward to the comparison against the Rebel v4
Won’t be long
Picked mine up for £126 this week at the local running shop. Love them
@@69leehammond i bought it online for about 77.5 $ 😁
Thanks for the review. Might pick this up to replace my novablast 3s which are a bit too soft/dull for me.
good choice ALTHOUGH maybe wait for the Rebel review ;-)

I think it’s well priced

It’s great but watch sizing
Ahh Mach 4 is my favorite running show I've ever worn.. only problem I have ran into is they wore out just over 200 miles

Nice review! 👍 I’ve gone through 3 pairs of Mach 4’s, I’m currently wearing the Mach 5’s and it now looks like I need a pair of these!
You’ll love these
Great, helpful review- just discovered my next running shoe and your channel which I'm now an instant fan of!
Thank you!
I’ve had mine a week, best shoe of the year so far. Exceeded my expectations. I took it for intervals on Tuesday, rapid 👌😃
Great shoe for some of that speed work
Great review! I'm waiting for it to come out in local stores to add to my rotation. They finally added rubber to the bottom of the Mach!!! 👍
yep much appreciated as well!

that video is coming....

if you want more bounce buy the rebel 4
My shoe fund has been depleted by the Superblast that arrived today, thanks to your reviews, among others
Send the Superblast back … Mach 6 is lighter and much more fun to run in!
@@NickBritten too late, 50 miles in and I'm absolutely loving the Superblast plus Hoka don't suit my feet, apart from Rocket X2
Mach 4 was a sensational shoe for the time.. yes it shredded up, but somehow avoided becoming flat and continued to be a monster
Hi Fordy! Will you be reviewing the Rebel v4? Cheers
Hi I mentioned it on the livestream on Monday: ruclips.net/user/liveE1b9DT2Kbk8?si=u5RswOKt4lezRYM3
Mach 6 vs Rebel V3 would probably be a great comparison. But even Puma Deviate Nitro 2 would be a great comparison.
How does this compare to the Superblast
My issue with Hoka’s is how the heel counter wears through. After a 100 miles or so, there’s a hole at the heel it causes heel rub
What about the comparation with the asics superblast? Can you give the opinion about those two shoes?
Great review Mr F!! Just got a pair of Boston 12's using your discount code at start fitness and my goodness they are superb!! Will compliment my love for the Adiós Pro 3... Cannot wait for the foam to soften up further after some more km's but love it already
they will soften up lovely
Just done my first run in Hoka Mach 6 on Fordy recommendation. Really responsive on the legs which are tired from big training block, so after 5K very impressed on recovery run thanks @Fordyruns
Good stuff!
I would probably get this shoe if I could trust the sizing. I ran a half marathon in the 4’s and my foot was all over the place after sizing up
I had pencilled in the NB rebel 4 as my next daily trainer for the summertime, but it seems there is some competition 🤔
wait til the rebel review ;-)

Is this a good shoe to run a 5k in? I’m a beginner and don’t think I need alphaflys yet lol
Hoka mach 6 vs endorphin speed 3 what do you think?
Are you going to review the Rebel 4 and compare the two shoes?
yes - i said it on the livestream on Monday i hadnt done enough miles in them to review. i wont rush out a review anymore... there are channels that do that well but i will wait. the rebel review will drop next week
Is ut rekomend for Half marathon??
My fave trainers!
Is it narrower than the Mach 5?
I didnt have that shoe
Waiting for the WIDE.
can get them in the UK
vs Novablast 4?
prefer these
This is better than Saucony Endorphin Speed 4?
Speed 4 more versatile
Agree 💯
Hi Chris, great vid! how does it compare to the Speed 4?
different animal... the speed is the shoe that does all
Much more comfortable and more springy. I was disappointed with the speed 4 as you can feel the pavement too much under your midfoot
Got to go half size up .
How does it compare to the Ride 17? Which one should I get?
Tried a five and they offer no ankle support and actually hurt me. Will stick to my saucony rides
That's the only thing about hoka shoes for me. They tend to run narrow...
correct
It's pronounced mach as in speed of sound, not mac as in mac and cheese. However, the poppy/squash color it comes in does look like the baked macaroni and cheese I had for dinner last night. 😂

Like the Clifton 9 better
