Got my Hoka mach 5 on Thursday ,bought half size up and put in a shoe stretchers for a day to stretch the width. First 10km run this morning …amazing….found them more comfortable than my nimbus 25!!!!
Kieran is an Evertonian 💙💙UTFT👍🏾👍🏾 Good Lad! Now I know why I always concur with your reviews. I ran 20 miles last week from the new stadium @Bramley Moore back home... In the Speed 2 though, echoes of the Danube marathons, none of these. But it's the Mach 5 all the way for me...COYB✊🏾💙
I don’t like the heel bevel on the Max. I wish they had given it a standard heel like the original tempo. That being said, I use it for tempos, and I land square on my midfoot, so I don’t notice it at the paces I use it for.
I tried the Mach 4 and I was a little surprised at how inflexible the rubberized EVA outsole was. I assume the Mach 5 is the same way. Is the Hyperion Max also as stiff as the Mach 5?
Do you guys plan on reviewing the Novablast 3 LE? I also wasn't fond of the regular Novablast 3 but wondering if the lighter version makes a difference
Well done Run Resters. How would you compare the Max with the Hyperion Tempo? Which should I buy? The Tempo is discounted now and has the DNA Flash. Should I go for the Max due to its cushioning and design?
Nice, subtle differences. Thanks for the clarity. Would be curious comparing the Hyperion Max and the NB Rebel V3 for faster-paced intervals and/or track work ... thoughts? Was about to grab some Rebels (BTW: I love my Mach5 & Triumph20 which I switch up all the time for my easy runs).
Max vs Rebel is an interesting one. I think most people including myself would say the Rebel is much livelier, bouncier, but I’m not sure it would be strictly better for intervals. Brooks is pretty effective on the track! Both good, Rebel is more fun though, and cheaper, though would expect the Brooks to last longer
Love my new Rebel V3s for intervals. Crazy light too. Glad I pulled the trigger, as they were on sale for $130CDN / $99USD. What luxury having a shoe for specific workouts! Thanks again for the guidance.
Comparing my mach5 with hyperion tempo , i just feel that dna flash pick up the pace so easily , the mach5 is too soft and feeling like lagging when going fast....and leg feel more tired with too soft foam for high speed
@@cshungpo i try using mach5 doing fartlek , tempo , compare to Hyperion tempo , mach5 is totally lagging behind 🤣 , hyperion tempo somehow always run more faster than my target pace 🤣
Not only is it a lower drop but the heel compresses quite easily, so when you’re running, especially if you land closer to the heel, the shoe is probably closer to 0 drop
Didn’t know I need this comparison, but I’m glad you guys did it.
Currently considering a new daily trainer, to add to my small rotation.
Loving my Mach 5, awesome lightweight daily. Only negative for me is that it starts to bottom out in the mid foot after 14 miles

Would love to see a comparison between the Hokas and the Cloudsurfer.

How does it compare to the original Tempo? I never got on with that shoe, too rigid for me.
Guys, what about the Vaporfly Next% 3? Usually the Run Testers are the first to release a review. Why the delay?
You guys never do any Topo shoes. Are they just not as well known there? I’m split between the HOKA Mach 5 and the Topo Phantom 2 for a daily.

The Mach 5 I found much softer then the Mach 4. I couldn’t where to Mach 4 it felt firm to me also
The mach 5 is a different shoe to the 4 , the 4 was awful for me couldn’t wear it. The five is far softer and much better at rolling thru your gait
@@leejarrett4928 ok thank you. Great reply.
In my experience brooks shoes are well built they cost more but also get more miles …

Max has a significant rocker. It feels a bit smoother and faster. The fit is also slightly better as the upper is stretchier and more accommodating.

Great news glad you’re enjoying them!

Exactly what I am feeling ,
Mach 5 is good for easy pace but a bit hard for speedy ,

I have the Mach 5 but the low drop killed my Achilles Tendon.. I don't get the energy return I get in the Speed 2 and 3.
Not only is it a lower drop but the heel compresses quite easily, so when you’re running, especially if you land closer to the heel, the shoe is probably closer to 0 drop
@@paddywiggle Exactly 👍🏻
Wow… same color.
I double checked because my brain couldn't compute

For me, Hoka Mach 4 and 5, they are just walking shoes, not for a serious runner
