Best praise vs top criticism for Hoka Mach 6
“I think the gatekeeping in this thread is really weird. Yes people use them as lifestyle shoes, but especially lately Hoka have really nailed a lot of their running shoes. It doesn't really matter if nurses wear them, they're still very very good shoes for running, at least a good bit of the current models. I adore my Mach 6 and Clifton 9s.”
“Thanks for the initial thoughts. Sounds like I'll skip the entire 2024 New Balance lineup despite being initially excited. The change in heel collar/counter design is just not for me. I'll definitely look at the Mach 6 now thanks!”
