Everyday including Race Day!
Light, very responsive and as comfortable as an old shoe-but it's new! Have come to swear by the Hoka Mach series, they are an easy ride, a springy takeoff and landing without being spongy, and very durable. Run, race, or walk, a shoe to embrace.

Not for me! It rubs oddly around the heel. Returned after trying out for a few days.

My daughter said best looking shoe I’ve gotten! The combination of the carbon plate & comfort cushion is exactly what I need! Thank you, Hoka!

Running shoe
It’s too early to give an opinion on comfort and durability. My initial reaction was they are made from cheap material when it comes to the tongue and back of the heal. I’ll see in two months how it holds up.
