It feels good to run fast in the HOKA Mach 6. Have your runs felt stagnant lately? Not anymore. These lightweight trainers are your key to unlocking everyday speed. The new super critical foam is fine-tuned for extra energy return, giving you the perfect amount of snappy responsiveness and bouncy cushioning to push the pace and keep your legs feeling fresh. “I tested the Mach 6 on an 8-mile run with 30-second pickups every mile. I noticed that it felt peppier and better for up-tempo runs than the Mach 5,” says Kate, who’s currently training for a half-marathon. “I was able to get a good turnover going, and picking up the pace every mile felt smooth.” Read more from our HOKA Mach 6 review. Details: Upper: The lightweight and breathable creel jacquard mesh upper feels like air conditioning for your feet while extra padding along the heel collar and a gusseted tongue give you a performance fit with foot-hugging comfort to go the distance. Midsole: The new super critical EVA foam midsole is composed of multiple tiny cells (imagine running on millions of small air bubbles), which offer more responsiveness at a lighter weight than traditional midsole compounds. The result is a firm yet peppy ride. Outsole: Strategic rubber coverage on the outsole gives you confident footing while you’re turning corners and running at top speed.
