HOKA Mach X 3 Men's Running Shoes - Your Go-To Shoe for Speed Sessions

Ready to pick up the pace? The HOKA Mach X 3 is a plated trainer that excels when your training gets serious. This shoe combines a dual-density midsole with PEBA foam on top and a responsive Pebax® plate to handle everything from tempo efforts to interval repeats. Updates to the collar and a newly designed breathable upper keep you comfortable when the intensity rises.

Responsive Platform for Quality Workouts

A winged Pebax® plate runs through the midsole, creating the snap you need during faster-paced training without feeling overly stiff. The two-density foam construction—with PEBA as the top layer—offers durability for regular speed work while still delivering energy return. This combination gives you a training shoe that can handle high-quality sessions week after week.

Dialled-In Fit Improvements

The updated design includes a softer tongue that reduces pressure points and a redesigned collar that sits more comfortably around your ankle. These refinements mean better comfort during those demanding workouts when any irritation becomes magnified. The fit feels secure without being restrictive.

Upper That Breathes Under Pressure

Warp knit construction creates a lightweight, breathable upper that manages heat effectively. When your heart rate climbs during intervals or sustained tempo efforts, this woven material helps keep your feet from overheating—letting you focus on hitting your splits rather than dealing with discomfort.

Geometry Tuned for Pace

The MetaRocker™ is calibrated specifically for speed-focused running, helping you transition efficiently through your stride at faster paces. Compression moulded sticky rubber on the bottom provides dependable traction while keeping overall weight down.
