In general every runner is different. What works for one runner probably won’t work for the next runner.

It’s very common to find different shoes more comfortable at different paces. Your from at 3:32/KM may or may not be the exact same as your form at 4:40/KM.

There is no reason to force a Mach on your foot. If you had one bad experience with blisters under your arch it’s probably not going to get better if you leave the shoe as is. The one solution is to remove the insole in the shoe and replace with a flat one with now arch. That should remove the blister problem.

You might try the NB Beacon for a change of feel. The Beacon will be light like the Mach and based on the shoe you currently run it I think you’ll like it.

Very very thanks
I'm going to change the insole
and go back to try it.
I'm not saying it's a bad shoe, I just expected it to be something different.
I thought I would have the feeling of speed that I have in shoes of other brands.
Talves is just a matter of giving you a chance more time.
From NB I always have good feelings, even in the 1080 that is a war tank, I have one that I use for those bad days of muscular load.
Tomorrow I will come out with the match and an insole NB
Thanks

I haven't run in the Machs, but I do run in the Tracers and recently (as of last year) some Clayton 2s. When I saw the Machs, I reached out on social media to Hoka to ask if it was similar to the Tracer as I feel like the Tracer has a more firm feel, especially in the forefoot, for me and I like to wear them for races. They responded back and said they are similar, but the Machs were softer or more cushioned. So I guess what you are experiencing with the shoes ride is how it should feel.

Regarding the blisters, I mentioned the Clayton 2 because I get a similar blister on the inside arch near the ball of my foot. I have found its something with the insole as I have moved it around and it made them more comfortable, but it slips back to its intended position. To me, it almost seems as if the insole is either a tad narrow or sits wrong and my foot ends up rolling over it and getting rubbed or pinched on the side. Its only one shoe too. Def try and buy some new insoles and see how they feel after, but it could be the shoe just isn't for you.

Thank you
I feel as if what he is saying
It is very soft in the forefoot.
Again I do not say it's bad.
Only that the custom and personal taste, I like more reactive, not that feeling that goes undid and does not finish firing forward.
Today I'm going to try the template, I'm going to change it and see how it feels.
What's in the template is the same thing that happens to you, it seems small in the bow, narrow

sorry my english
