"They didn't ruin the Mach" All I needed to hear 😁🙏
He had me at that phrase, loved my 4’s and 5’s
Did my first run in the Mach 6 today. I loved the 4 and 5, but the 6 is the best yet! They feel amazing underfoot!
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Another awesome review Mike. Don’t think I didn’t notice that black and white monochrome snowy landscape beautifully complimenting the Mach 6. That’s straight up art. 👏🏻
Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good
Did my first run in the Mach 6 this morning. For me the new foam provides a really nice and unexpected bounce.
Just bought these a day before your vid dropped! So glad to hear your review, they've been wonderful so far.
Thanks Kofuzi! I always wait for your review. Your reviews are always honest and helpful to me. I am glad to see your review that they didn’t mess up my fave The Mach 5. Thanks!
Great review Ko! Def was stoked to see this release and was even more excited to hear you thoughts on it🙌🏻
I have the mach 5 and 6 and will definitely say that mach 6 is an excellent show with awesome traction. I took it out this past Saturday in rainy Cali weather and the traction was excellent, but I will also admit I will not leave my mach 5alone.
For a do it all shoe, which one is better? The 5 or 6?
@@giffarmasabih8108 honestly, no lie it's hard... Just took out the mach 6 today on a 14mile run and was very smooth and can definitely pick up the pace.. I just can't leave my mach 5 alone . It's to good of a shoe even though 6 is a banger.. going to go with 6
I was patiently waiting for your review before buying it !
thanks for the review, these are gonna be my first running pair ✨
Happy running!
Hmmm may pick up another set of Mach 5s… appreciate the review Sir! 🙏
I really appreciate you bringing up the inconsistency of their sizes. Mach 4 I was size 9. Mach 5 I have 9.5. Clifton 9 wide.
Damn, we must have the *exact* same feet! 😂
Thanks Ko been waiting for this!
It's clear, Like to Kofuzi. Have a great monday.
Just started wearing my second Mach 5, wonderful shoes. Shall buy Mach 6 in April for my birthday. So much choice, Rebel 4 and Speed 4 purchase in the second half of the year. Great video as usual.
Yes. I am torn between the Rebel V4. And the Mach 6. I hear so many good things about the new New Balance Rebel V4 and the new SC trainer V2
Wait for the sc trainer v3 in a few months. It looks phenomenal
@@vandal.e6541 hi sorry if this is a dumb question 😂 What is sc trainer v3? Saucony?
Unrelated, but love the Junk hoodie. I think you recommended it in some winter running video and I got one over the holidays. Is now my go to running hoodie so thanks again for the recommendation given I hadn't heard of Junk until your rec.
My favorite colorway from all the colors released. Yes it’s only black and white, but it’s simple and I love that!
Took them for a spin on the treadmill at the store yesterday. The Mach has always been my favorite Hoka model, and it remained the same.
Okay aside from the Cielo, I love that shoe.
Thanks Kofuzi!
Ended up snagging a pair of Mach 5s on discount. Definitely excited to try the 6s when my 5s hit 300miles. Also can't wait for the new Mach Xs, I love my NB SC Trainer V2s but they're almost ready for a replacement.
Thanks for your honest review. I feel like you are not sugarcoating the new shoe just because Hoka sent it to you for free.
I have 900km on my mach 5 and it’s still going strong 💪
i came here to know about the hokas mach, but i more intresting about your intro vibe and also when you sliding in end this video. What a cool video hahaha.
Anyway, i want your opinion what prefer you choose Hoka mach 6 or saucony ES 4 ?
thanks
Hey Kofuzi! Just bought a pair this week and I would say the length of laces is just fine. I am even doing runners knot and there is still enough lace to tie the knot without any issues 😊 This is my first Mach so I cannot compare to previous versions 🥲
glad to hear you can still do the runners knot!
Finally Mach 5s go on sale
I love the new midsole foam on the Mach 6! It reminds me of the Kinvara Pro, and feels better to me than the Mach X.
The first place I come to learn about new shoes. I am in the market for a new pair of trainers - debating these vs Clifton 9s. Love my Clifton 9s so tough decision.
Wow, finally a Mach shoe I can use here in the islands
That was the main reason why I didn’t get the Mach 5, now I can’t add it to my rotation
Nailed all the points ❤
I’ve put 18 miles in my mach 6 and it’s a great shoe for me so far. Feels very comfy and snappy at 10:30 mile pace and very quick and light at 6:00 mile pace. I’m happy with my purchase. 5’8 190lbs
Dude sick power slide to end the video!!!
Now i am on hold whether to jump in Novablast 4 or Mach 6. I am looking for a Snappy fast light-weight shoes as fun as Saucony Kinvara 14. This video showed that NB Rebel 4 started to show alot of "crease" on the Mid-sole. Feels like the bounce would not going to last longer after 600KM or around that.
Mach 6 have the traditional running shoes outlook which i am eyed on. Especially the outsole rubber is a fantastic upgrade for longer durability for a road-runner.
I'm excited to see the new outer. I've loved my Hokas but they aren't durable at all; the added rubber gives me hope.
Just bought the Mach6 in Japan. In my size no half size up possible, so I went with the wide version and it fits perfect for me. Pairing with the ASICS S4 for races, which is around same price (also as Superblast, Hoka is very expensive in Japan).
Thank you!!!
I've been waiting for this, Mike! Thanks :)
Hope you enjoy 🍌
Nice review. I agree about the sizing, it seems like the upper is a bit smaller on the mach 6. I usually wear size EU 44 2/3, but it felt too tight on the mach 6 with that size so I had to go up to EU 45 1/3, which I never had to do before on any shoes!
the close-ups of the shoes really are top-notch! new camera/setup?
New techniques but same gear
I could try it on a few momths ago and they are amazing
This shoe is amazing 👍
The extra room in Mach 5 made it friendly to people who use custom insole inserts. One of the very few fast and light shoes that allows that. Looks like that capability has been taken away in the 6.
really like that DnB music
Kofuzi on point as always. How about the Mach X vs new Mach 6?
If you want more firm and more planted, then go with Mach X. I much prefer Mach 6
Early thoughts on how you would rank the new Rebel, Mach, and Novablast? Or what the key differences in feel are?
That sliding shot at the end lol.
I agree with the sizing and fit thing with Hoka. I'm a US 10.5D in my Mach 5 and I was surprised that I'm a size US 11 on the Mach 6. As for the laces, my Mach 6 has a lot of laces left when I did the runner's knot. I love the bounce of the new foam and this has a better rocker geometry for me compared to the Clifton 9 which just doesn't like my feet 😂.
Thanks for your video. How would you compare the shoe to the Rincon 3?
Just gunna comment before even watching… Thank you!!! :)
Thanks for the support!
Just picked up another pair of Mach 4 this past weekend for USD69 as I absolutely love this shoe. The 5 and 6 will have to wait.
Really? Nice find
@@kofuzi The Hoka outlet store over here has really good bargains every time a new model comes out. The 5 was also on sale, but I just picked up the cheapest pair.
Best reviewer on UA-cam by far
Just bought my first pair of Hokas the Mach 5 on eBay for £40. They arrived today and they look brand new so I’ve got a real bargain. Looking forward to trying them out later. Ian 🇬🇧
Did u get actually brand new shoes or they are like used ones?
@@ilupillu4915 they arrived in original box with no physical evidence of wear. The seller said they didn’t fit him so I assume period he had to return them had expired either way I got a bargain
Just bought these Friday
Hope you enjoy!
Gonna give these a go. Didn't like the wide fit of rebel V4 , also arch felt to prominent . I do have narrow feet , but dont often have issues with feeling the arch in a shoe.
I'm currently heading on a new direction since I learned that going faster actually requires less energy. I started with the deviate nitro 2 few weeks ago & with the mach 6 released, i wonder how that would match with my new running technique.
Been waiting for the Mach 6 to get Kofuzi’d! Definitely getting these 👌🏻
Woohoo new video
Question,
Is the Mach 6 arched like the 5 is on the inside?
The Mach 5 was my first running shoe of such caliber and I was blown away bc I’ve always been a runner but growing up, we never could afford that kind of stuff,
I had no idea about how much smoother running shoes makes longer distance running.
The only thing for me personally was the arch, so it’s just a personal thing bc I’m not flat footed but very arched shoes bother me,
it isn’t too bad to not run in, if I wear them for too long tho they do start to bother me bc of that tho,
other than that, a Golden shoe.
Thank you for an other great review. I get really confused (not konfuzied) with all those different shoe models. It seems to me a little bit similar to garmin watches. There are so many different but overlapping models from one brand that I wonder if it wouldn't be better to cut down the number of models (not only Hoka). Before I buy the wrong one I buy none.
I still have the 5 with 350 km, Clifton 9 with 450 km, and also Rocket X2 that is to aggressive for my speed for a Marathon :) and 3 more Hoka`s for trail :) Now with Mach 6 straight out the box i did a 21.2 Km run and it seems fantastic but is the most constrictive upper from all my Hoka`s, i had to leave the top laces very loose, heel lookdown is great, when i have stopped i did feel how tall it is, the foam seams much mushy after run, but is very stable and running dynamics are great, the same like in the Mach 5 :) Running Dynamics for this run, 100 meters uphill in the first 10 km :)

How do they feel different from rincon 3? The mach 6 seems like a redundant addition to the hoka lineup, if anything replacing the rincon (hopefully not). The profly midsole was different enough from the other shoes to justify having both in a rotation, but now seems like its an either/or situation.
Do you think that Zoom X foam is still the most responsive on the market ?
Running novice here: I already have the clifton 8 and enjoying it. But as I start doing some interval sessions lately I feel that is a bit too soft and/or a bit unstable. Would this complement the clifton or they are just too simillar ? Also compared to the clifton 8, is this narrower? Thanks in advance
If you have the choice between the the Mach 6 or the ASICS superblast?
Just got my new Mach6 poppy squash color standard width, surprisingly they fit perfectly with my feet. I had a great experience with the Mach4, was quite concerned about the size cuz I didn’t try them on before placed the order.
glad to hear it's working for you!
You made the comment about the Cielo x1 being Hokas' best racing shoe...if you were racing a marathon today, what shoe are you picking? (Any brand)
Do you think overall last year’s daily trainers were slightly better than this year’s?
how would you compare it to puma velicity 3? or novablast 4 or 3?
Hey Kofuzi, what's your favourite long run shoe...no carbon??? Love your channel!❤
Probably Superblast
Awesome shoe review! I think it’s time for me to buy my first pair of Hoka shoes. Voytek if you are watching thank you for your donation to my fundraising campaign! I couldn’t find you anywhere else to say thanks. 🙏
Between the clifton 9, NB rebel V4, and the mach 5 or 6, what would be your top choice? I usually run 3-6 miles at an easy pace. I am a casual noob and in need of some daily trainers but there are so many good options I am not sure where to start.
I would say Clifton 9 if you’re sticking to an easy pace
"Unapologetically Hoka" is a very polite way to describe that Cielo X1's colorway. 🤭
I was referring more to the analogous ways in which people responded to the Cielo X1 and some of the earliest ever prototype Hokas which were literally double stacks of midsole foam glued together into a single shoe
Why does it look like that
Why is it so big
Why is it so heavy
Why does this work so well?
great review.., make choices accordingly.., cross reference is needed.
I’m so glad the put rubber on the mach, the durability was ridiculous on previous models… the upper fit really narrow and seems more like a performance fit.
what will you choose, mach 6, rebel v4 or novablas 4, for daily run?
$140 is a good price imo, def getting one
Oh yeah! Will be wearing these to the BBQs on the weekends
Looks and sounds like a NB Rebel V3 ;)
I'm confused between hoka mach 6, Clifton 9 and nb 1080 v13 for daily running, gym an all-rounder city use I'm flat footed any suggestions
My only Mach was the 4 and it was one of the most dead feeling shoe I’ve ever tried. After all the hype, I honestly think I somehow got a dud pair. Our feelings tend to usually line up but I’m scared to try another pair.
Will you have any chance to review Saucony Endolphine Speed 4? I want to compare it with Hoka 6
Eventually.
My contact at Saucony no longer works there and attempts to find a new contact have been unsuccessful
I’ve purchased endorphin pro 4 and speed 4, and I’m waiting for delivery
Between the Mach 6 and the NB Rebel V4, which is the most stable?
Possibly an odd comparison, but how do you think these would fair against the Puma Deviate Nitro 2?
Inconsistency indeed. My first Hoka was Mach 5 then I bought Clifton 9 with the same size and the toe box feels narrower on long runs. To think that I was initiallly advised Hokas because they are roomier... Thanks for the review!
Lets gooooooo!
In the past i regretted buying rincon 3 . I should have bought mach 5. I will consider buying Mach 6 as my next shoes
What did u dislike about the rincon
@@michael-lucanatt8009 i was hoping a more responsive cushion . My bad . I did not research properly.
Just picked up my 4th pair of the Mach 5 - don’t want to see it go 😢 Will see if I move to the 6 when it come to an end. At least they didn’t ruin it. That gives me hope 😊
Hi there. How many miles before you retire your Mach 5? Thanks
@@darwinuy9174 Hey, I tend to retire shoes early anyhow. The Mach 5s I all retired after 400km. They probably could have kept going a while, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you when they died.
@@fscottwoods thank you for your reply
I’m usually a size 12 D. I have a “normal“ width foot. I ordered the 12 D and the upper was way too tight. I returned it and got a 12.5 D still too tight. I compared both the five and Mach 6 on feet don’t feel the snug in the uppers really worth it. I’d rather just get a new pair of mock fives or go with another shoe. I could consider getting a 12 wide however, it is harder to find the shoe in my area.
Just get a wide width in the mach 6. It runs very narrow for sure
I'm a big hoka fan but the sizing problem is real. I love the Mach but the 4 was a bit long so i went half size down with the 5 and ended up being way too tight. Tried the 6 with my original sizing again and it's unfortunately way too narrow in the toe box even for my narrow feet. It was suffocating my pinky toe. Even though I've been a fan of the Mach line, i won't be running in the 6 this year.
I don’t understand why it’s so inconsistent
I just bought a pair of these and a cheaper Mach 5, thinking I may run in one or the other for my first marathon at the end of the month, and return the other. Any thoughts on which of the two is better for a sub-4 goal (8:51-9:00 pace is my hope)? Thanks for the review!
Since you have them both, I think the best person to answer this question is you
@@kofuzi Fair. I'm trying to pick one or the other so that I focus my training on it and return the loser for a full refund, so I don't really want to run in the loser too much. I didn't know if one or the other is built to be better for a marathon based on the foam or any other details.
im concerned how the shoe only weighs 7.7... wonder how this will affect durability
Tempted to buy the Mach 6 as the 5 was one of my favourite shoes. However the second pair of the 5 felt so dead after 300km that I'm hesistant to buy the Mach 6. Guess I'll wait a bit and see what other people report about the durability of this shoe.
Now I kind of wonder how much of the snappiness in the 5 comes from the dual density foams forcing the supercritical foam to do more work in a shorter distance. I guess we'll never know. 🤔
🤷🏻♂️
I bought this shoe last week and I absolutely love them. My laces were fine and maybe it was just your pair with the short laces.
Glad to hear it wasn’t an issue for you
I'm stuck between buying the Mach 6 or Rebel V4.... I've enjoyed the Mach 4 & 5 but really curious about NB's new lineup.
Hello! I really loved the Mach 4, had two pairs with over 300 miles each and then didn’t like the Mach 5. I’ve had fun with the rebel v3, and just ordered the Rebel 4. I think you should go for the Rebel and try them! Fun shoe 🎉
Great thing is that, no matter which you choose, you’ll be getting a great shoe
@@justinalyon9151hi there. Is sizing the same with Mach 5 and rebel 4? I'm thinking of trying the rebel 4. My current Mach 5 is size 9 EE (wide). Thanks
@@darwinuy9174 hi! I personally like to try on each shoe for size before buying if possible. I also think Hoka sizing is different, I normally wear size W8 comfortably in NB shoes but I find Hoka shoes inconsistent and my usual 8 fits differently between Mach and especially the Rincon. Hope you’re able to find it in stores to try on before you buy.
@@justinalyon9151 we don't have it yet in our country. Was about to buy on-line. I'll just wait for it to arrive here to try it out. Thank you for the advice.
Nothing like the Mach 5. The 6 has a firmer ride and higher stack. My tendon plate injury returned after two weeks running on them. Too bad. Now I have to search for a alternative
Do you feel version 5 is more breathable than version 6? The upper of version 6 looks thicker.
No
Compared to Mach X?
If I like the Mach 5 Should I get another pair of the Mach 5 and go for the Rebel v4
Hi! He puts them in the same category if you listened to the end. I think you need to try them both for yourself to see which suits you more, regardless of of any preference he might have. You’ll know.
have you tried uphill sprint? hows your legs after doing uphill sprint.
Tired. I don’t like hills
Space up front for the toes, which is wider Mach 6 or old Mach 5?
mach 5
