Just over 200km in mine, and they feel just as good as at the start. For me it really is the best daily trainer because it just feels great at any pace:)
I've got 50 miles on my pair of the Mach 6 that I picked up over the weekend - fantastic shoe that really does everything I like in a daily trainer. I find that it can handle a really wide range of paces from recovery to marathon pace to even some VO2 max reps on the track. I haven't run in the speed 4 but compared to the speed 3 I really prefer the Mach 6 across the board
Mach 4's and 5's have been my daily go to trainers for the past 2 1/2 years. (2 pairs of 4's, 3 pairs of 5's) Both models have both been workhorses and I've had virtually zero complaints. With that said, the 5's were a marked improvement over the 4's w/the upper being much lighter & maneuverable, leading to a much zippier feel throughout the ride. And based on positive reviews like yours, I'm very much looking forward to trying the 6's soon. Thank You
I've got about 70 miles in my pair. It's a fun shoe to run in but I feel like it's not quite enough cushion over about 10 miles. I'm pretty light and I never got that feeling in the Hyperion Max or the Deviate Nitro 2, which has a similar stack. More testing required.
I have already run 100 km in my Mach 5, that I purchased in january. I am enjoyng It a lot, cause of its lightness and versatility. Amazing video Andy!
I really enjoy the Mach 6. It's a joy to run in, especially when I'm tackling hills and the light weight on the foot is really nice. It feels fast, it feels protective of my legs, and it feels like it's making running easy. With that said, when I compare the actual results, it doesn't actually necessarily hold up so well for me personally in practice. There's a route that I like to use for comparison purposes on shoes. It's a 7.4 kilometre out-and-back with a total of about 60 metres of hill climbing, but the grade never gets up over 10%. I do it first thing in the morning, fasted, in good weather, with my legs in good shape, and I try to aim to run it at as close to a 5:00 per km pace BY FEEL as I can manage. Here are my four most recent goes at it. Run 1: 4:55 pace, 141 bpm, 182 strides per minute, 1.12 metre stride length. Run 2: 4:41 pace, 142 bpm, 181 strides per minute, 1.18 metre stride length. Run 3: 4:58 pace, 137 bpm, 182 strides per minute, 1.11 metre stride length. Run 4: 5:04 pace, 137 bpm, 173 strides per minute, 1.14 metre stride length. Run 1 was in Saucony Ride 15s, run 2 was in Saucony Endorphin Speed 3s, run 3 was in Hoka Mach 6s, and run 4 was in Puma Velocity Nitro 2s. Comparing those four runs, the Hokas FELT by far the fastest, and I was like "I bet that I'm going faster than 5:00 per km, no need to push on this." While wearing the Speed 3s, I felt like I was putting in a 5:05 or so pace effort, and I was like "trust the shoes, don't put more effort into this." Now, for all that I've tried to make the test fair, there is still that messy human element involved. The same goes with every other run I've thought about while evaluating the shoes. And even if I'm right for me, someone of even a slightly different size, shape, running form, fitness level, etc, may find different results.
Sounds like the Mach 6 will replace my 3rd pair of NovaBlast 3 in a bit.Really liked the Mach 4 and 5 even though my second pair of the Mach 5 felt dead after 200km.
What do you think about older guy over 60 will it still feel good on shins and feet as the clifton,or just good for younger and long distance experts,I had the 5 mach and I like bit my feet and legs hurt after 21k ,I would rather be slower and not hurt after like I do with the clifton 9
Cliftons have more foam in them so I would stick to the cliftons... the 6 has indeed increased the amount of foam but I think cliftons still have more, so you would be safer in those!
Usually the midsoles change how they feel, they can often go quite flat or hard feeling… then usually if you keep running on them, you’ll get ankle or shin pain!
So many runners are sticks...skinny and tall...we need more big runners reviewing long term durability on shoes because although i value this content, heavier runners need representation lol
500 miles in Mach 5 and still going strong, got the Mach 6, probably use today as I taper for London👍
Cmon, give us feedback from Mach 6, have you used it? What do you think about it.

Iam eager to try v6!
Planning the 1st run today, looking forward. Replacing the Speed 3 which I love to run in, but it messes me up (knee pain, hip pain).
Hi Andy, 100 miles already you dont hang about. I loved the Mach 4 it was a great daily trainer. I hope your taper is going well.
Thank you so much Claire, you are way to kind!

Really liked the Mach 5, they lasted a lot longer than I expected them to. Just ordered some Mach 6 and looking forward to trying them out.
That you've got them to 100 already speaks volumes!

Hi Andy, are you planning on picking up the new balance rebel v4 for testing? Heard great things about that shoe!
I’ve had two pairs of Mach 5s and 1 pair of Clifton 9s. I prefer the Mach 5. My next shoe will be Mach 6
Hoka's either work for you or they don't and the only ones that work for me are the Rocket X2, I've got two pairs!
Might try on after I get through the Rebel v4
I've gotten 930 miles in my Mach 4 and they're still holding great!! I'm wondering if the 6's will hold as well...
Holding out for the 300mi review!
Great review. I'm interested to see how many miles you get in them 👍
I’m getting this..
But the size and width is what worries me!..I like some space in toe..
Like to Andy. Good luck with your Hoka mach 6. Have a great day.
Great content but what's with all the slurping?
What do you think about older guy over 60 will it still feel good on shins and feet as the clifton,or just good for younger and long distance experts,I had the 5 mach and I like bit my feet and legs hurt after 21k ,I would rather be slower and not hurt after like I do with the clifton 9

So how do i know when .y shoes are worn out?
Usually the midsoles change how they feel, they can often go quite flat or hard feeling… then usually if you keep running on them, you’ll get ankle or shin pain!

I hear that the Diadora Atom V7000 is by far the best daily trainer. I would like to see you review it.
ATOMO!
fits awfully - had to return both regular and wide ... since they both were way off ..
Looks the most boring though. 😂
It’s not the best looking for sure
