Product Details:
Designed to sit between a traditional trainer and a race shoe, the HOKA Mach X 3 uses a dual-density midsole with a PEBA-based top layer of superfoam for soft landings and quick rebounds. Below, nitrogen-infused EVA brings balanced energy and durability.
Embedded between these layers, a Pebax plate adds snap and structure to help you stay efficient at higher speeds. Its tuned MetaRocker geometry encourages a forward-rolling stride, so the Mach X 3 feels smooth even as the pace picks up.
The outsole features compression-molded sticky rubber, offering grip and durability without weighing the shoe down. Up top, a breathable warp knit upper keeps the fit lightweight and streamlined. The refined design includes improved heel fit, a softer tongue, and materials that help balance airflow and support.
Ideal for runners who want one shoe that can handle faster sessions, up-tempo long runs, and weekly miles with a performance edge, the HOKA Mach X 3 is a super trainer with all the capabilities.

How We Measure Our Shoe Specs
-
We measure every shoe in-house to provide accurate and consistent details.
-
Weight
The weight is based on a Men's size 9 for Men's and Unisex shoes or Women's size 8 for Women's shoes. The weight listed is for a single shoe, including the laces.

Heel Stack
The heel stack refers to how high your heel sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.
-
Forefoot Stack
Forefoot stack refers to how high the ball of the foot sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.
-
Heel-toe Offset
Heel-toe offset (drop) is the difference in height between the heel stack and the forefoot stack. We use the number given to us by the brand.
How We Measure Shoe Fit
-
All measurements are based on Medium width.
-
Fit (width) options are Narrow - Snug - Average - Roomy - Wide.
-
Sizing (length) options are Short - True - Long. Note: fit is relative to the "average" running shoe.
-
We partner with SmartLast, a program by Heeluxe, to use advanced shoe-measuring technology, to provide objective measurements for toe box, midfoot, and heel widths as well as overall length.
