Light, Snappy and Built for Faster Days

The men's Mach 7 is HOKA's pick for runners who want cushioning without the bulk. At 8.37 oz in HOKA's men's listing, with a low 5mm drop, it feels quick and close to the ground for a HOKA, and it handles tempo runs as comfortably as easy ones.

HOKA kept the midsole and outsole from the Mach 6 and focused on the top half: a lighter, more breathable woven upper with an inner sleeve that wraps the midfoot.

The Technology

Supercritical EVA Midsole
Responsive, plate-free foam with plenty of bounce.

Creel Jacquard Upper
A light woven upper with extra ventilation in key spots.

Internal Gusset
A sleeve that holds the tongue and midfoot snug at speed.

Grippy Forefoot Rubber
Sticky rubber under the toes and Durabrasion under the heel.

Who This Shoe Is For

• Men who want one trainer for workouts and daily runs
• Runners who find max-cushion shoes too heavy
• 5K-to-half-marathon trainers looking for a shoe with some bounce

Specs

Fit note: HOKA recommends trying a half size up in this one. Every foot is different, and sizing can change between versions. Come in for a fitting and we'll scan both feet on the Volumental scanner to find your size and width.
