These shoes keep my feet pretty dry when it’s wet out, they are extremely comfortable and I don’t have achy feet even after doing 10-16 miles which is my daily amount. I wear these for trails and just walking around town and to work and my feet love them. Going to buy a couple more pairs before they stop making them. Planning to hike JMT in these in August. Haven’t had any blisters so far and my feet don’t even feel sore after a 16 mile day. Occasionally I’ll get some arch pain in the left foot, but this is because I am not focusing on my gait and not pronating over my forefoot during push off phase of gait. (Normal gait: heel strike where rear foot pronates aka ankle dorsiflexion and eversion combined with forefoot supination, then you transition to foot flat ... MoreThese shoes keep my feet pretty dry when it’s wet out, they are extremely comfortable and I don’t have achy feet even after doing 10-16 miles which is my daily amount.

(Normal gait: heel strike where rear foot pronates aka ankle dorsiflexion and eversion combined with forefoot supination, then you transition to foot flat phase, then push off phase with ankle supination aka plantar flexion and inversion coupled with forefoot pronation - meaning your weight is over your big toes, not laterally on the outside part of your foot.) If you aren’t pronating with push off, you are going to have arch pain because your posterior tibialis is going to be weak. These Hokas are designed well so that you pronate more naturally over your forefoot with push off. They are also nice and cushy under the MET heads to prevent neuromas.

I have bought these shoes previously and loved them enough to keep buying them, but the right shoe of my third pair had a slight defect. There seemed to be a ripple above the big toe that was barely visible, but inside the shoe it pressed down on my big toe and I had to return them the next day. There were no more in my size, so I ordered another pair. Someone in the shoe department said I was not the first to tell him about this type of defect. Other than that, it’s a great shoe! I weighed from 308 to 285 pounds while wearing my first pair as my daily shoes and they never felt worn out, even after 11 months. I also have the waterproof version to keep my feet warm and dry in the snow.

It seems that during the pandemic my feet stretched to get wider and my previous solid size 6 for decades felt snug unless shoes in general were manufactured more narrow as many reviews complained. A gym pal highly recommended HOKA so I selected this shoe in size 6.5 Wide for its colors because I avoid all sneakers with white midsoles (who has time to clean their white midsoles constantly?). But was too wide! I did not reorder a regular 6.5 because it looked more darkish blue than navy or black. I am picky buying sneakers that I can wear fast walking as well as being able to look presentable in any urban setting. So I am still searching for my perfect sneakers for comfort, looks and go everywhere.

These shoes are amazing. Absolutely love the Challengers. I think I'm on pair 5 or 6 now? I worked retail and long days on the hard concrete took it's tool with other brands. Felt the fatigue of being on my feet for long hours. Tried these out after a rep came and instantly fell in love. So much, I've started running again which I've been on about a 15 year hiatus from. They have plenty of cushion but not over bearing. I tried some of the others and found them to be a too much or too little, also the fit was off with other styles. I have semi wide feet, just borderline of a true wide size and these are an easy plug and play. No break-in needed(at least for me). I currently have 2 pairs, the regular and GTX models and what's great is they both fit the same. I was ... MoreThese shoes are amazing. Absolutely love the Challengers.

I currently have 2 pairs, the regular and GTX models and what's great is they both fit the same. I was thinking of trying out some other brands for a new pair of running shoes after I wore out my Asics, but a good friend told me, if you find a shoe that fits well stick with it and so glad I did. Love these! I generally wear a size 9 and the 9 is perfect for everyday use and running.
I usually don't buy any shoes online. I heard great opinions about Hoka and decided to give it a try. It is my first pair of Hoka and believe me, not the last one! These are the most comfortable shoes ever! And I bought them without trying them before. I don't think I'll go back to any other gym shoes brand ever. These felt great from the first moment I put them on. I couldn't believe how comfortable they are. I took them on a hiking trip, still as brand new shoes. Very sturdy, very comfortable, my feet felt great after 6 hours of hiking! Great for walking, great for hiking, great for every day!
I had bought these shoes for various reasons. Hoka 1-1 has been supporting a lot of the runs for #MMIW (Missing Murdered Indigenous Women). Their ambassadors are indigenous runners who I follow and look up to! These ambassadors often made great Hoka 1-1 recommendations so I felt inclined to try a pair.This shoe, the Challenger ATR 6 Trail running shoe was promoted as a trail running shoe and actually had the capability for “Performing light on the trail and smooth on the street, the women's HOKA ONE ONE Challenger ATR 6 trail-running shoes are adaptable, grippy and up for anything.” I run on both road and light trail so these seemed perfect!I first fell on my bottom when the shoe was 2 weeks new.

I was at Mission Trails in San Diego (light trail roads) when my shoe did not dig into the gravel correctly and I slipped down roughly 4 feet. I fell again at Mission Trials a couple weeks after that in a same incident (falling on my bottom because the shoe's traction). I swore to change the shoe. Although very comfy, I then decided to keep it as my “road” shoe and shoe for running errands.Recently coming to visit my family in Oaxaca, I brought the Challenger ATR 6 shoes to have as my "farm” shoe since I needed some for when I help on my family's farm. Since there are roads and trails I also brought them to go for early, or morning runs, when I am here. Two days ago, while using my Challenger ATR 6 I took a light trail up a small mount. When on the trail, the Challenger ATR 6 did not grip the road well, and I fell but this time I fell bending my whole left foot and leg underneath me. Since no hospital was open at that time (I am in a rural region), I had to wait for the next day to get X-rays (thankfully no broken bone)! The shoe that was recommended as a “trail shoe” has no traction for gravel or dirt on light trails at all! Do not, NOT, recommend! Save yourself the sprained foot, or broken bone! If you want a trail shoe, go for an actual trail shoe, not something in between!
I bought these with pretty low expectations a few weeks ago out of desperation, three days ahead of a 50 mile trail race. I had been training most of the summer in Saucony Peregrines and they were destroying my feet during runs over ~20 miles so I knew I couldn't run 50 miles in them. I tried on about a dozen pairs of shoes at REI one evening after work to try and find something that I thought I would be able to tolerate for at least half of my race (big thanks to the team at REI Madison for putting up with me). These were one of the last pairs that I tried on and they seemed tolerable. I did not really have time to break these in adequately; I think I wore them for one run before race day and otherwise just wore them walking around and at work.

These were one of the last pairs that I tried on and they seemed tolerable. I did not really have time to break these in adequately; I think I wore them for one run before race day and otherwise just wore them walking around and at work. The first half of my race had a pretty technical section and I chose to wear Salomon Sense Rides for that part so I cannot comment on how these handle over pretty technical trails. I wore these from mile 26 through the finish (mile 50) over rocks, dirt, tree roots, and up and down some pretty steep hills. I was pleasantly surprised by them. They were pretty comfortable and, although I have always hated the look of HOKA shoes, they don't have the super high stack height and felt pretty stable. While I can't say that I love them, I've been periodically wearing them for runs even after the race and recently chose to wear them while crewing my husband's 50K. Overall, I'm glad that I bought them and they performed admirably for me.
I work at a hospital on 8-10 hour shifts, sometimes standing for hours at a time. I have always worn ASICS. I decided to buy these because I've seen so many hospital workers wear them.These so far (about 2 weeks) have been amazing.I can tell the difference in quality with their soles/cushion.For reference I'm a size 9.5 in running shoes. I purchased 9.5 in the Challenger 6 and it was perfect, I'm a wider toe box. I purchased a 9.5 in the Clifton 8 but it felt narrow. Not right, because there was give, just odd looking to me. I exchanged for a 9.5 wide, still didn't work. I think it's more a style choice on those.They CS team member I talked to was great.Think I found my new favorite work shoe!
I have arthritis and spondylolisthesis (spine broke as a kid) and I got these shoes after they had been recommended time and time again. I am 5'3 and weigh approximately 260 lbs, I'm also AFAB. These shoes I do find to be supportive and help me stay balanced. I have a fairly active job and the shoes have served me well enough. They definitely were not created with active fat people in mind and I can see them wearing. They are replacing a pair of Reebok Terrex trail runners which were only slightly worse. The price difference between the two was a jump however. Also they do not match my clothing and I look stupid a lot, but seeing as I wear a 10 wide and needed something to keep me from slipping, these were the best choice.
I fell in love with Hoka's with my first pair, and the last pair I bought, Challenger 5, was my favorite pair yet with a roomy toe box, light weight, and great balance plus a neutral color. I thought I was safe ordering the next generation, Challenger 6, but am extremely unhappy with changes made in this generation. First, my normal 7.5 size is too small - my toes are scrunched against the front of the shoe, yet I've never worn shoes larger than 7.5. Second, the toe box is now narrow instead of roomy. I probably wouldn't be comfortable wearing these even if they were the right size. Why the heck did Hoka change this model so much? Now I'm afraid to by any shoes online, even if I think they're the same model.
