Hoka Mach 7

It’s been 2 years since Hoka last updated the Mach, and in that time, the running world has taken off in terms of the foams we’ve seen in our daily trainers. So when it came to the foam in the Mach 7, Hoka gave us …. the same foam that some runners were already complaining about two years ago? Now I know that a shoe is more than just what the foam is made of, but even I’m wondering, will the same supercritical EVA midsole be enough for Hoka to keep up in 2026? It’s time to lace up the Mach 7 and take it for a run.
