Shoe brand of the year for me. Skyward X, Cielo X1, and now Mach X2. I got my Mach X2 on release day and haven't had a single issue with the heel. It's what a "super trainer" should strive to be. Great at slow pace, with extra gears for higher pace, while being lightweight and comfy.

Another excellent review, Emily 🔥❤ I’ve never worn Hoka shoes but this looks good to me. Great choice of music for your run footage by the way 👌🏼 Oh and I’ve recently seen some of your posts on Instagram…I’m a massive basketball fan and have followed the Knicks / Liberty for a number of years. Loving your dedication to the Libs! 😍 Keep doing what you do 🙏🏻

I just bought this shoe, and I have high hopes for it.

Dope NY shirt… just got this shoe. Hoping my not so narrow ankles are an advantage here because the shoe feels great in store.

I used to love Hokas, the old Vanquish were a pre-supershoe favourite, but now they all seem to have those really high instep orthotic style supports that cause me enormous pain.

Did my first run in them this morning. It’s a great ride, but started feeling some irritation near the end. I’m going to see if some KT tape helps out or they may end up going back. Shoe is close to being an absolute banger.

Bougth this excited to have a training partner with my beloved Cielo X1...cut my heel up 2 miles in. Sadly had to send it back. LOVED the ride. Hate the heel.

Tried it on today, ok under foot but did not get a secure fit -> Achilles soon to be 🔥

I love the Mach x but the x2 is a fail now I’m trying to find a replacement uggh

솔직히 발바닥 아래로 정말 좋음. 발등위가 병신같음.

발바닥 아래로는 정말매력적임. 진짜 손 많이가는 신발임. 쿠션이 특히 미쳤는데, 걸을 때 무너지지않는 균형감도 잇을정도로 안정감도 같고있을 정도임.

솔직히 말하면 슈퍼블라스트2보다 더 매력적이고 편하고 안정적인 미드솔같음. 어퍼가 편안하지 않은거지, 힐안정은 좋은편임. 발/발목/발바닥 안정적임.
단점은 발등위 모든것, 장점은 발바닥 아래 모든것.

어퍼가 늘어날거같지는 않은데, 신을수록 괜찮아짐. 지금은 적응한거인지 늘어난건지, 발 자체는 신을만함.

전 발볼 : 보통, 발등 : 보통인 편입니다. 일반모델을 삿고, 사이즈는 느낌에 발등이 좀 낮은느낌입니다. 저같은 보통발인 사람은 와이드모델을 추천함.

So this isn’t rocket science right???? These designers must know how to make heels and ankle padding!?!? Why is there so often one thing that doesn’t work right?

[madpearTube]

And again another review stating that the mach X2 is true to size.... IT'S NOT!!!! And many customers feedbacks of different online shops share the same opinion.
I own 4 other pairs of Hoka: Clifton 9, Rocket X2, Cielo X1 and Mafate Speed 4, all in 9.5
The mach X2 in 9.5 even with my thinner socks and the laces barely tightened squeezes the top of my feet and the toe box is too narrow.
the Rocket X2 is a thigh "racy" shoe but it doesn't feel uncomfortable unlike the mach X2 that should be bought at least 1/2 size up!
The issue is that at 9.5 the length of the shoe is okay for my foot. And something tell me if you choose your size based on the front of the shoe, it's now too long leading the heel rubbing...

How did the idiots at Hoka come to agreement on this heel counter?

[hannaniakurkos]

The heel sucks .. didn’t work for me .. the outsole is great, but the upper is 👎

[MakeTriathlonGreatAgain]

I always skip you cringe-worthy intro 🤮

[davidyork]

the tongue on the shoe sucks always hard to put my foot in hoka bondi 9 better
