The HOKA Mach 7 is a performance running shoe designed for neutral runners seeking a responsive and lightweight running experience. This model in blue is available in men's size 44. The Mach 7 features a streamlined upper made of technical mesh that provides breathability and a secure fit. HOKA's Early-Stage Meta-Rocker technology promotes smooth transitions from heel to toe. The midsole combines PROFLY foam with a new, lighter blend that offers a balance of cushioning and energy return. A notable feature is the increased stack height compared to previous models, providing enhanced protection without sacrificing ground contact. The outsole is equipped with strategically placed rubber zones for durability and traction on road surfaces. The shoe has a drop of approximately 5 mm. It is suitable for tempo runs, daily training, and races up to marathon distance. The fit is true to size with a moderate width. The Mach 7 is the successor to the Mach 6 and offers improved midfoot responsiveness as well as a refined upper.
