Customer Reviews Hoka Mach 5

We love our Hokas, my wife bought male 7 1/2 wide but they don't seem wide enough. She will keep them do you make extra wide? I hate thinking of her feet not being comfortable.

I have repurchased this show many times, and have also done a warranty claim. It's great that they offer that but the sole of this sneaker seems to wear a little too quickly. Granted I am walking many miles per day. I HOKA needs to add a rubber layer beneath the foam. Otherwise, they really are incredibly comfortable.

Not as comfortable as i thought it would be

I am sure this is a good shoe, but I didn't actually run on it because I felt it was a little to race focused for my needs, and I exchange it for another shoe in your line up that better suited me, the Arahi 6 which it great so far! My biggest complaint with your product is the huge name logo on the sides of your product. I am not really into being a billboard when I buy products. From my perspective, the billboard marketing strategy isn't as effective as word of mouth, so I think minimal advertising makes for a cleaner product look and demonstrates a level confidence that you produce a superior product. If you do in fact produce a superior product, be patience and word of mouth travels. If I like a product I most definitely share my experience with friends, when they are in the market for a product that I have direct experience with. I like your product and I have shared my positive experience I have had with friends with your trial shoes. From that experience, I am now exploring your road running line. Hope that helps, and of course this is just my personal opinion.

Great cushion and stability.

I usually get 10.5 for my shoe size and they are fine but these were a little big on me. Not big enough for me to go through the effort of returning them for the right size. So I will likely go through the next couple of years wearing this shoe that is slightly too big on me cursing myself for not just exchanging them when I could have. Oh well, that is life. Have a great day

I run 7 miles a day, 6 days a week and the shoes are starting to wear on spots. Very comfortable and help my running but I fear they will not wear for very long.

Running

The shoe is excellent in all respects for light running and speeds

Great fitting (I wear wide), but lack of any rubber sole has drawbacks. On the gym carpet they slide easily. This is not good.

I bought my first pair of Hoka sneakers on the advice of my podiatrist. They were terrific! I could feel the support in my arches and impact of the curved bottom when walking. However, my most recent pair seems to have an inner band that grips too tight to y foot. When my feet swell in the afternoons, I have to loosen the laces to relieve the stress on the left side of my right foot. I find it strange that the same shoe that felt good when first purchased, now fees too small in my second pair.

These shoes are awesome, feel very nice on the foot after you break them in. My only issue was the first few runs hurt my arch early on. After that no pain and some of the most comfortable running shoes I've owned. I highly recommend these. They recommend going a half size down and that worked out for me.

I'm a treadmill, interval runner and these shoes have been a dream to wear. They transition from slow jogs to speedy sprints with ease, while still providing that pillowy landing that Hoka is known for. My flat feet finally feel unashamed. Thanks Hoka!

I use these shoes as a walking shoe. I walk about 40 miles a week on different surfaces and they stand up very well and provide great support!

disappointed with the tongue sliding down. this model (mach 5) does not have the slot for the laces to hold the tongue in place. its real annoying. IS THERE A WAY TO PREVENT THIS ?

I was looking for a shoe that wasn't necessarily for running, but was extremely light weight and cushioned. This one checks those boxes. Though it is a running shoe, I like that it has a speed profile and can wear on the daily. I will be buying a second pair for work.

I use this as an everyday runner and love the responsiveness and comfort. I will definitely buy these again when they mile out.

I had the Mach 4 before these and really liked them. These are very similar and so far I'm enjoying these too

I retired my Mach Supersonics and I have about 40 miles on the Mach 5s. The 5s are less responsive than the Supersonics. I will be running my first race in over a year due to a torn meniscus and the Mach 5s aren't responsive enough for me. I have a pair of Rincon 3s that I haven't run in yet, but I tried them on and they feel firmer than the 5s. Hopefully, they are more responsive than the 5s, even though they are listed as Balanced.

I am a professional Martial Arts Instructor, and we practice realistic self defense, so we train with shoes on! My shoes are purchased based on fit, heel padding, arch support, quickness to respond, traction and lightness. These shoes, like all Hoka shoes that I have purchased, are simply amazing! I have recommended them to my students! Most will not pay what these shoes cost, but that is their loss! Cheap shoes lead to bad feet, and feet are everything to a martial artist, especially Instructors! I have about seven pair of Hoka shoes right now, and definitely see more in my future. Thank you for producing amazing shoes!

I'm not sure I would recommend them to a serious running, but for walking around a concrete pool deck all day, they're great. As for running, while the cushioning is good, my heel still sinks too deep into the foam. I'd need a little more heel support before I considered these to be serious running shoes

I always thought the shoe brand was a gimmick, but it's all what it's advertised to be. It's also a very comfortable shoe.

Working out and running. Comfortable, lightweight and supportive

They didn't quite match up to my oncloud monsters when running
