Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger ATR 5

After wearing Asics for two decades, I became frustrated with their changes in sizing and design, so I decided it was time to switch brands. Hoka didn't disappoint. I instantly fell in love with these shoes for their comfort and style. Glad I made the choice to branch out.

I have been struggling to find new workout shoes. Tried and returned a bunch, lots of brands. Went in to REI and got a fitting (I’m a size 9 and they rec getting 9.5 being it is a running shoe. And it feels great with extra toe room.) but then REI didn’t have my size in stock in store or online but Zappos did -yay! And they came fast. Got compliment on them at the dentist (only place I’ve been in Covid times). REI and my foot doc recommended this brand. This particular model has been far and away the best for my foot. I use my doc rx insert in these. They’re cool looking and really comfy. I’m so happy to finally find a good pair. I mostly do walks with running sections, hikes, elliptical in these. And end up wearing all day cuz they’re so comfy.

This is my absolute favorite trail shoe I hope they don’t discontinue it or try to upgrade it or do something stupid to this model because it’s so perfect! I have tried one of their other ones that was a little bit more hard-core and he really didn’t like it perfect shoe for someone who typically runs roads but also enjoys trails occasionally definitely prevents you from rolling your ankle

I love my Brooks shoes, but have been wanting to try Hoka Ones for awhile now. So far they are very comfortable, lots of cushion and feel light on my feet. I am happy with my purchase and would get another pair.

The shoes are very comfortable and great for walking.

Good quality, good shoes. Good company to deal with. Thank you.

Color and shoe is exactly as pictured and is nice. I love the lightweightness of this shoe and this is my second pair of Hokas. The first pair was matched with my feet with a machine calculating my stance and what shoes would be best for me. How convenient it was to buy these off of the internet during these times of crisis, knowing that I was going to have quality that fit me perfectly.

Shoe fit fine, just felt that the Clifton was a better overall for my foot.

I'm a huge fan of Hoka One One trail runners. This model is slightly less cushy than the Stinson model but far better looking. I have a narrow foot but like a wide toe box. These deliver that and are true to size.

Beautiful color. So many compliments

Very light. Lighter than Bondi 6 which I had for the last three years. So many compliments on the color. Love love love it!

Purchased these for my next 50 mile trail race. I have only worn them twice to train in but can tell these will be a great trail-running shoe! They already feel broke-in! The tongue was a little stiff during my first run in them, but softened on the next wear. They feel like a trail version of the Clifton. Highly recommend!
