First pair of Hoka's and love them. I'm a nurse practitioner and on my feet a lot. These shoes are great!

I wear a size 7 in Hoka shoes. These were comfortable but I felt I leaned forward. Shoe hard to put on and made my feet look huge. Returned

Awesome trail running shoes. I just did a 5 mile race where we had to hike and run and these shoes were still so comfortable after the hike and run. Love the color too. Very comfortable. Great hiking shoes and runs on the trail for sure.

My feet are wide in the front, but average in the heel. Therefore my heel was loose in the back. This is a problem I have frequently!

Fit was great. I’m used to wearing the Arahi 7’s. I didn’t feel like the Challenger was as stable on the bottom for me.

I liked the shoes. Just still not big enough. Wish they came in a wider sizing.

Very nice shoe, but this new version, Challenger 8, looks and feels much smaller than my old challenger Hoka shoes. There was no room for my orthotics, and fit was snug. I did not want to try to "break them in" since this is an expensive shoe, and needed to be unworn if returned.

I love the fit of these Challenger 8 shoes. They are so comfortable for everyday wearing and for walking on streets and on the trail. And I love the salmon color.

I'm a longtime fan of Clifton for running and was converting them into everyday shoes, but they only last so long. After trying a variety of Hoka styles I'm in love with these! The wide toe box (without needing a wide size) fits great and the shoes are just super comfy. I'm on my second pair and recommend. PS There is a fit difference between the GTX style and this.
