HOKA Mach 6 vs Mach 7

The HOKA Mach 7 and HOKA Mach 6 are two iterations of the same lightweight trainer, but the newer version feels more refined in ways that matter to how the shoe feels on foot. The HOKA Mach 7 updates the upper with a revised heel counter and a fully-gusseted tongue that improves lockdown, and its reworked outsole adds more forefoot traction. It's also more stable, mainly due to its wider platform. More importantly, those changes were made while also reducing overall weight, which makes the shoe feel more agile, more nimble, and a bit more willing to pick up the pace. The HOKA Mach 6, on the other hand, offers a roomier fit, feeling less snug overall and more accommodating in both length and forefoot volume.
