Updated: Jun 17



Hoka Mach X - X Marks The Spot


The Frontrunners Victoria staff recently had the chance to experience the Hoka Mach X and the consensus is clear – these shoes are a game-changer for runners seeking a perfect blend of comfort and performance. Designed with the athlete in mind, the Mach X boasts several features that have our team raving:


Hoka Mach X - Frontrunners
Frontrunners Victoria's Sales Associate - Matt

TriNerds: "Matt, when it comes to your go-to running shoe, what stands out as your favorite?"

Matt: "My top pick has to be the Hoka Mach X. It's got that perfect blend of stiffness, responsiveness, and cushioning. Honestly, I can complete my entire workout wearing them. It eliminates the need for multiple pairs because, you know, usually, you might need a carbon shoe for one thing and an easy shoe for another. But the Mach X? It does it all!"

Comfort and Support:

Hoka's renowned cushioning reaches new heights with the Mach X. The ProFlyX™ midsole strikes a harmonious balance between plushness and responsiveness, providing a sensation akin to running on clouds while maintaining a connection with the ground. The high-rebound cushioning makes long-distance runs effortlessly comfortable, and its responsiveness shines when you need to pick up the pace.


Pebax® Plate:

A standout feature of the Mach X is the Pebax® plate, a propulsive component that elevates these shoes to the next level. Composed of 65% bio-based content, this plate showcases a commendable commitment to sustainability. It's the driving force behind the Mach X's supercharged and responsive performance, offering a substantial boost in pace and overall running capabilities.


Adaptable Design:

The Mach X proves to be a versatile companion, suitable for both everyday runs and race days. Whether tackling extended, leisurely distances or pushing for a personal best in sprints, these shoes seamlessly adapt. The Creel jacquard upper and gusseted upper construction provide a snug, secure fit resembling a second skin, while the Pebax® plate adds that extra push when it matters most.




Sustainability:

The Frontrunners Victoria team applauds Hoka's dedication to sustainability evident in the Mach X's design. The upper, comprising 84% recycled polyester and 16% recycled nylon, along with 35% recycled polyester laces, showcases a conscientious effort to reduce environmental impact. Even components like the 87% recycled polyester strobel board and the 40% recycled polyester eyestay lining contribute to this eco-friendly approach.


Nerdy summary

The Hoka Mach X stands out as a revolutionary choice for runners prioritizing both comfort and performance. Boasting impressive cushioning, the Pebax® plate, and adaptability, these shoes are equally adept at everyday training and competitive race days. The added bonus of sustainability features makes the Mach X a compelling option for environmentally conscious athletes. If you're ready to elevate your running experience, the Mach X is a must-try. You won't be disappointed.
