- Price: $180
- Weight: : Women’s 8.0 oz/ 227g (US8)
- Drop: 5mm (37mm to 32mm)
The Hoka Mach X is designed to be a well-cushioned, fast trainer that is fun to wear and adds propulsion. It feels springy on the foot when it comes to logging the daily miles, which makes adding in speedwork a whole lot more appealing.
