OVERVIEW

The Mach is Hoka's no-plate tempo trainer — full-length supercritical EVA, Meta-Rocker, 5 mm drop, 37/32 mm stack. Mach 6 introduced supercritical foam to the line; Mach 7 refined it lighter; Mach 8 continues the same tempo-for-everyone thesis. No plate, so it works at daily paces and leans uptempo when you lean on it. Mach 7 WIDE, forefoot-volume spec on the Mach 7 platform for wider feet.

MATERIALS & CARE

Air-dry away from direct heat after wet runs - never tumble dry. Spot-clean uppers with a soft brush and mild soap; do not machine-wash, as it breaks down midsole foam and adhesives. Remove the sockliner between wet runs to let both layers dry. Rotate between two pairs where possible - supercritical EVA and PEBA midsoles recover loft with 24 hours of rest. Do not bleach or dry-clean. Store at room temperature away from prolonged UV exposure, which hardens foam.
