Hoka Mach X 3 vs Mach 7 (Sole Mates) | Which Frontrunner Daily Trainer Wins? Oska and Tom from Frontrunner Colombo record a "Sole Mates" comparison after their camera isn't charged, pitting Hoka's Mach X 3 against the Mach 7 as faster daily trainers rather than true racers. They praise updates from the Mach X 2, including a more traditional heel collar and wider width options, but criticize Hoka's confusing lineup and pricing. The Mach 7 is described as lightweight and fine but not particularly fast, with foam that feels less responsive; it may suit runners wanting one shoe for easy runs and moderate efforts, including grass reps, and is mentioned alongside shoes like the Novablast and Peg Plus. The Mach X 3 feels more lively and stable with a good rocker and comfortable upper, suitable for uptempo long runs or even a 3.5–4.5 hour marathon, though it's heavier. Prices mentioned are 280 for Mach 7 and 330 for Mach X 3, with a deeper Mach 7 review coming on Run Spesh. 00:00 Welcome to Soulmates 00:47 Meet the Hoka Marks 02:00 Hoka Lineup Confusion 03:37 Mark VII First Impressions 05:36 Mark VII Best Uses 06:31 Mark X3 Ride and Stability 09:16 Mark X3 Weight Tradeoffs 10:12 Fit and Sizing 11:22 Pricing and Wrap Up
