trekking hoka one one | HOKA Women Who Fly Camille Herron
The zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE mujer trail tope amortiguación talla 38.5 is one of the top-pick options if you're looking for:
- a road running shoe that's lively and enjoyable for fast and easy runs
- zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE amortiguación media 10k talla 44 más de 100
- an excellent value for money (£20 cheaper than the average price of speed trainers)
This Hoka shoe is an amazing all-rounder: responsive for fast days, cushioned for long runs, and comfortable enough for easy days and walks.
Who should NOT buy
Although it's a well-loved shoe, the Mach 5 also has its share of flaws. The biggest one is the lack of rubber outsole which leads to both a lack of durability and grip on wet pavement.
We highly recommend speed trainers like the hoka one rincon tk 1114631 fvitf and the HOKA hombre amortiguación media talla 37. Both are similar in performance to the Mach 5 but come with a protective rubber layer at the bottom.
And if you want to stick to Hoka, we encourage you to check out the top-tier Hoka Mach X.
Breathability
Taking the zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE mujer trail tope amortiguación talla 38.5 through our smoke breathability test, we can claim that it's got a forly above-average level of ventilation in the upper. It is not the most ventilated one, but great for moderate temperatures.
You can also see that the toebox and tongue parts of the shoe's fabric are on the transparent side.

Durability
Outsole hardness
There is no rubber outsole on the zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE mujer trail tope amortiguación talla 38.5. Technically, the shoe uses a layer of rubberized foam as a substitute for the rubber outsole. So, we ended up measuring the firmness of this bottom compound.
No wonder our durometer showed such a low number!
At 57.0 HC, this Hoka shoe's bottom is 40% softer than average! And that's pretty dangerous for the shoe's long-term durability as softer materials wear out much faster on the harsh pavement.
Thus, we cannot expect more than 300 miles from this trainer.
Mach 5 | 57.0 HC |
Average | 80.5 HC |
Weight
The fact that the Mach 5 is well-cushioned doesn't seem to affect its lightness. In fact, it is Edge a little lighter than the average speed trainer in a men's US size 9.

Lighter weight paired with the shoe's snappy ride is a fabulous combination!

Cushioning
Heel stack
Running in the Mach 5, our feet felt quite pampered and well-protected from impact. Edge though it's not a max-cushioned shoe, it certainly delivered enough cushioning to make us forget about hard heel landings.
Using a calliper, we measured heel thickness at 30.7 mm. It's not enough to make it a max-cushioned shoe but is close to the average of running shoes.
Mach 5 | 30.7 mm |
Average | 33.7 mm |
Forefoot stack
Measuring the forefoot stack, our calliper showed 25.0 mm. This is about the same as the average road shoe.
Mach 5 | 25.0 mm |
Average | 25.0 mm |
Drop
Checking the heel-to-toe drop of the shoe, it appears to be close to the brand's official statement (which is 5 mm). Based on our own stack measurements, we found it to be 5.7 mm.
Mach 5 | 5.7 mm |
Average | 8.7 mm |
Insole thickness
The Mach 5 features a pretty standard, moderately padded insole. Measuring its heel thickness, we got 4.2 mm - the same as the average.
Mach 5 | 4.2 mm |
Average | 4.5 mm |
Midsole softness
We noticed that the Mach 5 is softer than its predecessor, which also made it homier to the foot. But it's not so soft that it compromises stability.
This proves to be true in our durometer measurements. Showing 15.0 HA in the midsole, the shoe got 29% softer compared to the Mach 4, which also puts it among the softest running shoes on the market. The zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE mujer trail tope amortiguación talla 38.5 is 60% plusher than the average!
This speed trainer from Hoka also uses a little trick to make its ride feel extra soft. Instead of having a hard rubber outsole, it features a firm rubberized EVA foam as a secondary cushioning layer. It is more durable than the primary ProFly+ but is not as hard as a typical rubber outsole.
In terms of softness, that made us feel as if we were landing directly on exposed foam.
Mach 5 | 15.0 HA |
Average | 21.4 HA |
Difference in midsole softness in cold
But if you're planning to expose this Hoka shoe to cold temperatures, be prepared that the ProFly+ foam gets considerably denser.
Running on chilly days, the shoe might take some breaking in. In our freezer test, the Mach 5 got 60% firmer compared to room temperature.
Mach 5 | 60% |
Average | 25.5% |
Ride
The Mach 5 feels amazingly energetic! It Edge made us run at a faster pace than we initially intended!
There is a welcome bit of bounce but nothing extra.

The shoe's midsole is forly rockered. It features what the brand calls "meta-rocker geometry" which makes each step feel buttery smooth.
Stability

For a neutral shoe, the Mach 5 offers a wonderfully stable ride. There is a for flare in its heel which we found especially handy when cornering.
Torsional rigidity
The Mach's high level of torsional flexibility helps us remember that this is a neutral shoe after all.
Twisting it in our manual test, we found that it comes on a very flexible side. On a 1-5 scale, where 1 is the most flexible, we rated it as 2.
So, if you are someone with flat feet or pronation concerns, it's better to skip the Mach 5 in favour of the Hoka Arahi 6.

Average | 3.2 |
Heel counter stiffness
At the back, a moderately stiff heel counter helps in keeping the heel in place. Giving it a squeeze, we rated its stiffness as 3 out of 5 in our subjective assessment (5 is the stiffest).
Edge though it has a little give to it, the shoe's heel counter never lets our heels lift or slip out of the zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE mujer trail tope amortiguación talla 38.5.

The heel landing area of the shoe's sole is significantly wider than the average. According to our calliper, the heel is 96.7 mm wide (6.6 mm wider than the average!).

Average | 90.5 mm |
Flexibility
Stiffness
In the era of hyper-cushioned, stiff, and aggressively rockered running shoes, the zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE mujer trail tope amortiguación talla 38.5 felt like a nice break. It has a pretty flexible nature which contributes to the shoe's overall comfort. It bent in all the right places helping our foot feel free and manoeuvrable.
Measuring the forefoot flexibility in the lab, we found that it only takes 20.3N to bend the zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE mujer trail tope amortiguación talla 38.5. This makes the shoe 50% more flexible than the average road shoe!

From our experience, the Mach 5 has great traction on dry pavement. But come rainy days and its exposed foam gets dangerously slippery.
Size and fit
Toebox width at the widest part
The shoe's midfoot kept us securely locked in and the toebox felt roomy enough for our medium-width feet.
Looking at the numbers, however, the forefoot part of the upper appears to be narrower than the average but still in the medium-width range. At its widest, the toebox is 95.4 mm wide (2.7 mm narrower than average).

Tongue: gusset type
The shoe's form-fitting upper is also complemented by the semi-gusseted tongue (attached to the sides). It held our feet securely all throughout the run.

Comfort
Tongue padding
Putting the shoe on, we were in awe of its supremely comfortable upper. The shoe has light padding through the heel and collar, which never caused rubbing or hot spots. The padded tongue also acted like a light pillow that prevented lace pressure.
We measured the shoe's tongue at 4.3 mm, which is typical for a speed-oriented running shoe. HOKA Mens Mach Shoes 4 in Blue Glass Edgeing Primrose.
