I’ve had the Ride 15 for a while and up to 300 miles in them to date and have to say they are in my opinion the best of the Ride series so far. Great for all paces and served me exceptionally well during marathon training. Never had any of the Machs so can’t comment. Other Hokas caused me all sorts of issues in the past mainly due to their narrowness and I now completely avoid. Good review👍🏻.
Love how you point out the strengths and weaknesses of each shoe, and what type of running each shoe is generally geared towards. In this case, the Mach 5 better suits me. Loved the Mach 4, though it did lose its responsiveness at about 300 miles for me.
Thanks for commenting on the width (Mach 5). You could also add that the Mach 5 is available in a wide 2E as well. If you could do that for all shoes available in a wide or xwide that would be 5 seconds well spent. Really enjoy your reviews!
For me the Mach 5 had a lot of extra space in the toe box even when I went down half a size, and I did not like the tongue. I haven’t tried the Ride 15 yet, but the 14 has a great fit, and a lovely padded tongue. And the sole looks almost new after 250 miles.
Mach 5 is very soft and to me does not skew towards tempo....if anything it feels better for easier efforts. Again....It is VERY soft compared to the Saucony. I live in FL in a warm climate.... have heard others comment the Mach 5 midsole does feel a bit different depending on temperature(softer when it is hot / Slightly firmer when it's cold outside.
I similarly don’t find the Mach 4 narrow. I think the problem is that everyone with “wide” feet is “wide” somewhere specific to them.. so unfortunately this is rarely useful advice to completely different feet!
I just reached 500 miles in the Mach 4, its a great daily trainer and alot more durable than I thought.,if the Mach 5 has improved even slightly it would be hard to beat.
I have the Mach 4 and now the Mach 5, i like the version 5 more than 4. From Saucony i have the Endorphin Speed 2 for daily runs and Pro 3 for race days. Hoka really needs to make a super running shoe just like Saucony done with the Edorphin Pro 3!
@@philcupper i hope so, i like Hoka and the Machs are the only shoes i buy from them. For the road i think they need a daily trainer with some type of nylon plate and a super shoe like Nike, Adidas, NB and Saucony have at this moment, just my opinion.
Sorry to tell you this , but I've tried both shoes and ride 15 is more comfortable, maybe not as snappier but it's very difficult to match Saucony's comfort.

I just picked up the Saucony Ride 15 for $30. Awesome Deal for a great shoe!
Same here! Excited to try it.

Glad you found it useful. I have heard about issues with durability on the Machs but not responsiveness, so good to know.

Good spot. Always think about that after uploading the video. Cheers for the reminder.
Spot on! I have both shoes. I love them both for different reasons which you cited.

I do not find the Mach 5 narrow. Almost all other Hoka shoes are a bit narrow for me but the Mach 5 upper is more accommodating.

@@michaellopour7409 i did find the Mach 4 too narrow for me. The 5 is more accommodating in the forefoot/toe-box

Thanks for the video. What size are your Ride 15?. What size do you use on other shoes like Nimbus 25 or Coudmonster?
Nice job. very clear and to the point. I'm curious about the New Balance fuelcell Rebel 3. Could you review that one?
Could you please do Mach 5 vs Novablast 3???
It's on the list, as well as a few more NB3 vs.
Sorry to tell you this , but I've tried both shoes and ride 15 is more comfortable, maybe not as snappier but it's very difficult to match Saucony's comfort.
How would you compare the Mach 5 to the Rincon 3?
Yo can we get a proper Asics Novablast 3 review and then compare the Saucony Endorphin speed 3 vs the Asics Novablast 3 vid? Asking for a friend! lol
I really want a rebel v3 vs endorphin speed 3.
Mach 5 > Speed 3
