My Mach 5s are nearing end of life, but Hoka seem to have discontinued and replaced with the Mach 6, but changed some sole features, which is a concern.

anyone have experience of the 6's compared to the 5's?

my feet are sensitive in respect of running shoes, but trying them on doesn't offer me any clues as they all feel fine, its after a run that i suffer, so wanting to get as like for like on the 5's as possible.

thanks

Hoka do a 90 day return if I remember correctly, order a pair and try them.

I like Hokas.

In my experience they don't change much from one generation to the next unlike others (looking at you Inov8 irked)

I think the Clifton is a great all round mileage shoe and the Speedgoat likewise for trail (but not really gnarly stuff)
