Guru tip– The Gusseted tongue wins me over

Tech tip– Hoka has made a big name for itself in the past few years and they prove why in the Mach X, a new shoe from Hoka that competes in the “super trainer” category. The Propulsive Pebax plate makes the PEBA and Hoka’s ProFly X foam two peas in a pod of bouncy softness. Suited with a creel jacquard upper your feet will be feeling as fancy and comfy as that sounds. Worried about durability? Well don’t worry, the Mach X has got you covered with a rubber outsole that targets the most common wear spots. Whether you’re trying to break Mach 10 like on November 16, 2004, when NASA launched the X-43A or wanting a daily trainer with some kick, the Hoka Mach X could be the shoe for you. 

Buy this shoe– If you want a super trainer

Don’t buy this shoe– You like a firmer shoe
