Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger ATR 5

Podiatrist recommended Hoka Bondi 7 for my 5 mile daily walk. Since I am also a hiker, bought ATR5 but have just worn them to walk in. Will hike soon..

Broke these shoes in with a six miler and never once got blisters!! Loving these as I marathon train!!

Use them for walking

I love the stability and comfort!

Nice cushioning and stability. Would buy again.

I am a nurse. I have plantar fasciitis and bad knees. These have been the best shoes so far for me!!!

These are the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever worn! Toe box is perfect! I've been putting a lot of miles in these without any foot/knee/shin issues!

These shoes are light but very supportive. Love them. Hope to buy another pair soon!

Just started using them, love the feel and the fit

I'm so impressed with this shoe and works for what I need it for. I recommend this product.

I love these shoes: function, fit and look. I bought a pair of the Challenger 5 last fall, then bought a pair as a gift for a friend and now another pair for myself. I also purchased the waterproof Challenger 5s. These seem to wear really well, as I walk outside10-16 miles a day on roads, trails and gravel. I was going to purchase the Challenger 6, but I do not like the look of them, so gladly bought the 5s again but on sale. I started walking extensively last spring and purchased my first Hokas in May- now I always keep a couple of pairs in my walking rotation. I usually buy the more cushioned ones, but these work well on all terrains (altho I use for shorter walk days, like 10miles). I like the style to wear in real life as well, not just for exercising. The trail line of Hokas seem a little roomier as I wear a size 9, and they fit perfectly- the other non-trail Hokas I need a 9 1/2. Glad I tried Hokas- my feet feel good so I can keep walking!

Used these for a 5 day trip to Utah. I have bad knees and the shoes provided amazing support through the hikes, uneven surfaces and even snow.

Very comfortable, can wear them all day, helps with my knee pain

I love this brand of Hoka! That's all I wear is Hoka. Feels like soft pillow that supports my feet. I have issues with my legs & knee.

Awesome and comfortable for the trail , great stability

Best, most comfortable hiking shoes I have owned. Took them on a 7 mile hike up the mountain right out of the box. They were super comfy!!!

I wear these shoes to the gym to walk on the treadmill. Also wear them just about everywhere I go unless it is to church on Sunday morning. Love them! Am looking forward to buying another pair soon.

I have a balance issue since my stroke. These have been amazing for me

This is my 4th Hoka purchase ! Challenger ATR 5- perfect fit and so comfortable!!! Just the right amount of cushion!! I also have 2 pairs of Clifton and also Speedgoat !! Love them all.

This pair of Hoka are amazing! The size is perfect and wearing these has relieved foot pain and back pain!

These shoes are so comfortable . I was having issues with pain in my feet and these shoes have alleviated that pain completely

I started wearing Hokas after recovering from breaking the biggest bone in my foot in 2019. At this point they are literally the only shoes I can wear comfortably for long walks and time spent on my feet. I find the Challenger ATR 5 more comfortable than the other pair I have (I think it's the Clifton?) but I haven't tried all the other styles to compare.

These are the best shoes I have ever owned by far. I am a nurse and spend 12-14 hour shifts on my feet pounding the concrete. I highly recommend everyone obtain a pair of these most comfortable shoes!!

I've purchased two pairs of these now because they are so perfect for my feet. I have very wide feet and so appreciate that some Hoka models actually come in wide. Paired with an insert, these shoes are actually my everyday shoes but I can also run and hike in them.

I have Hoka Bondis and I tried Stinsons at the store ...I ordered the Challengers because they were on sale and I loved the colors ... at first I was a bit disappointed ... they seemed not as cushiony as the Bondis or the Stinsons and I contemplated to send them back. However - after a few weeks of regular wear I realized that I really like the Challenger. The Bondis cannot be worn in snow ( outright dangerous slippage) or on any surface other than road or gym - the Challengers however have the trail sole to handle moderate conditions which makes them a lot more versatile. And the cushion is there - not as squishy- but even on long walks my feet feel great. I ordered these in my regular size in wide and they are not nearly as boat-wide as the Bondis ( don't get me wrong - they are deliciously comfy but due to their width look quite unflattering) . I do not think I could get away with a regular width in the Challengers - they run more narrow than both Bondi and Stinson - but the wide size fits well without looking like clown shoes. I have grown to love these Challengers and reach for them often for runs around town, easy hikes, trail runs - good all around shoes to walk the dog... I wear almost exclusively athletic shoes and appreciate a shoe that can go from mall to trail
