Is getting the Hoka Mach 7 from the US really the best move for Italian runners?

Why is everyone talking about the Hoka Mach 7?

Have you noticed that your local running clubs in Milan or Rome are suddenly obsessed with a shoe that isn't even on the shelves at your local sports shop yet? The Hoka Mach 7 officially hit the US market this week in March 2026, and the feedback from the community is already through the roof. While we usually wait months for these arrivals in Europe, the global nature of running culture means nobody wants to wait. If you want to stay ahead of the curve, keeping an eye on us trends is the only way to see what is coming next.

The supercritical foam upgrade

How to shop US stores from Italy

It can feel frustrating when US retailers don't ship directly to your door in Italy, or when they charge astronomical fees to do so. This is where a freight forwarder becomes your best friend. By using a tax-free us address, you can purchase the Mach 7 from any American retailer—like REI, Zappos, or Hoka’s own US site—and have it sent to a warehouse that then forwards it to you. This international shipping service bridges the gap that usually keeps Italian runners waiting until the summer for new gear.

Shipping Estimates for Italy

To help you figure out if this fits your budget, here is a breakdown of what you can expect when you buy from US ship to Italy.

Before you hit the buy button, it is always a smart move to use a shipping calculator to estimate shipping cost based on your specific city in Italy.

Why are so many people choosing to shop us store options instead of waiting for the Italian launch? History shows that the most vibrant colorways often sell out in the US before they even get a production run for the European market.

Customs and delivery in Italy

Using comGateway allows you to manage the documentation efficiently, ensuring your Italy delivery happens as quickly as possible.
