Thumbs up. . . mostly
This is my first jump into the (somewhat) "super shoe". As a general training shoe and for workouts they have been great - light, comfortable, responsive, reasonable fit. The length and width, for me, are true to Hoka sizing (I also run in 8. 5 Clifton’s and Rincon’s and the 8. 5 Mach X 2 seems the same). So far, my only (slightly) negative comments are that they aren’t the easiest to pull on as there is no hook/tab on the heal and there is a bit of slippage in the heal when running (I think it is more of a sensation than the shoe actually slipping and not gripping).
