Hoka One One Mach 3 Review

4/5

Overall

I like the shoes a lot. They have great support in the heel and arch. They also wick moisture well which is necessary for the amount of sweat that my legs and feet accumulate. However, the way that the soles are made with foam instead of general rubber soles, the shoes are wearing down quickly. I have had them for about 4 months running in them no more than four times a week (about twelve to fifteen miles per week) and I will have to be in the market for another pair in no time at all. Overall, I liked the shoe, but the durability did not stand the test.
