Mach 6

I do: \- 1 pair race shoes - for races and time trials (maybe one long run if marathon training and haven't gone more than 21km in them) \- 1-2 pair workout shoes - for any run with marathon pace or faster, race shoes turn into workout shoes after around 200km \- 2 pair daily trainers - for easy runs Specifically right now: race shoe: asics metaspeed edge tokyo workout shoes: asics metaspeed sky paris, New Balance SuperComp Elite V4 easy shoes: nike pegasus 41, hoka mach 6 I mostly retire shoes once they hit 800-1000km or feel terrible to run in. I get my easy run shoes as on sale as possible, usually grabbing last year pegasus, novablast, nimbus, mach, or w/e on sale. If I were you I'd start by just buying 2 different pairs of shoes for easy running, and tracking mileage on them. If you feel so inclined or find a good price then you can buy some fancy racing shoes, and use them for big speed days too if you want.

How would you compare the feel of the Triumph 23 to the Mach 6? Thomas Do Canto on the Inside Running Podcast likes both, and I also like the Mach 6 the most out of shoes in my rotation (using for daily/easy runs). Have been thinking about eventually adding the Triumph to the rotation as a second long run alternative to the Superblast 2

I need help... I can't find a good running shoe. I was running on the Mach 5 for over 6 years but can't find any more pairs of them. I didn't love the 6 because they were a little too stiff. From there I went to a local running store to try and get help and tried the Hoka Clifton 9, New Balance Fuel Cells Rebels, and the Altra Flow 3. Hoka Clifton 9 - to plush really aggravates my ball of foot pain New Balance Fuel Cells Rebels - I have been loving but after only 40 miles they're irritating my arch Altra Flow 3 - good on my arch but lost feeling in my toes Again I loved the Mach 5 and I have the NB DynaSoft Nitrel v6 as my trail running shoe that also has been working super well for me. I have a high arch and pretty wide toe. My main issues are arch pain or ball of foot pain.

Puma magnify and magmax, Saucony Endorphin Azura (just came out), Novablast 5, Hoka Mach 6, (narrow foot friendly for sure), Tyr Maverick V1 are all lighter and protective but not mushy from my personal experience/research. The 1080v13 and v14 is also my go to casual/walking shoe and they increased the weight quite a bit from one to the other. But even then the 13 was a bit of a slog for me. I think modern trainers have the ability to pick up the pace and protect you on slower runs as well.

The Ghost is not that similar to the Adrenaline, it's quite a bit softer. I think Mach 6 is a better choice overall based on what you're looking for, but I think the Ghost is also an option to consider if those don't work out.

I used to have a BAD running shoe problem, I had like 25. I am now reformed but still have a lot apparently: *Hoka Mach 6 for everyday runs, I run part road part trail and these get gunked up every day, ugly lavender but muddied up which I love *Brooks Hyperion for everyday runs or short races (5k, 10k) -I was using this as dailys but I was gunking them on trails and I like them too much so I got the hokas above to destroy *Adidas Adizero Evo SL for road long runs (will use for my half marathons) -LOVE this shoe, cushy but speedy, makes me feel super fast *Hoka speedgoats for trail -I am meh about these, I prefer road shoes on trail, if I had more technical or slippery trails I would use these but other than that they just exist Vintage: *Adidas adizero adios boost, used to be my LD race shoes, they are like 10 years old and I refuse to give them up because they are old school undercushioned and fast *Mizuno hitogami also about 10 years old, proper racing flats supposedly for mid distance but I love them for short distance. Love love love how clicky they are, they go so fast Ok, nobody reading this but it warmed my heart to talk about my shoes, lol

Oh, fun! I used the Mach 6 on all road today for the first time and they did pretty good too! The speedgoats are good, if you ever try trail! They're just overkill for my trails, they would be awesome for scrambles and water crossings.

My stats are pretty similar to yours, have you ever tried the Hoka Mach 6 and if so how would you compare the two? The 6s are my do it alls but the more miles I put on them the less “snappy” or “fun” they feel if that makes sense. I’ve been looking at the Evo SL since they’ve been on sale, these, and the Mach 7s as everyday replacements. In addition to running I use my shoes in Hyrox style workouts. Any insight would be great!

Can confirm Mach 6 are great for narrow feet
