THE BETTER DAILY TRAINER: Hoka Mach 6 vs. Puma Deviate Nitro 2 

I wanted to get the Hoka but after going half size up they were still very narrow at the forefoot. I have DN2 and I like them. But for long runs they bother my achilles. That is why I wish i could get the Mach 6.

I have both and onto my second Puma. I would highly recommend both. The only issue I have with the Puma is I always wear the outside of my heels on all of my running shoes. Despite the thick grippy rubber the edges wear out quicker than my other shoes. Not sure why but the Hoka seems to be wearing there more like my other shoes. Both Alphafly 1 and 2 last ages for me so it’s a pity there’s not many shoes like those that must keep me more on my mid foot

Do you buy shoes the same size from all companies (8.5) or do you have a different size in say Nike vs. Hoka vs. Puma?

M and XL means very different things around the world, an American M can be Asian XL, but a Size 48 jacket is the same all across the globe. But I guess shoulders are easier to fit than feet.

Puma=8mm drop not 6
