Product Summary

Want an attention-grabbing running shoe? Opt for the Mach 5 from HOKA. The Mach 5 is advertised as bringing the best of the Mach 4 and Mach Supersonic to this new and improved shoe.

The midsole setup is aimed to help runners have a crisp run, no matter the distance. The overall shoe is designed to be lightweight while having a rubber outsole that will make them last. The heel collar was added so the shoe won’t slide while in use, and the tongue was designed to lay flat on users’ feet, however, some reviews claim the tongue slides and they have to stop to pull it up mid-run.

These well-loved running shoes come in an array of bright colors, so no one will miss you if you’re running in them. Sizes range from 7 to 14, which is not quite as inclusive as other brands.
