Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger Low GORE-TEX®

I use these shoes for hiking and they fit good. The arch is fine This is the first time I bought this type of Hoka for hiking but they feel comfortable ..

They are comfortable. Since I haven't worn them on the trial yet, I can't comment on how good is the traction or durability. Need to exchange for half size smaller.

ALWAYS wear size 6. Had to re-order in size 5.5 Hokas are great shoes BUT so random with sizing. Which is why I order them via Zappos bc easy to return.

I was able to put these on the first day and go hiking a couple of miles. very comfortable. I have been having heel pain and hope these will help.

They seem to fit okay but perhaps have a tad less space in the toe-box than my last pair. This pair also seems to have a little less arch support. Overall a comfortable shoe but not quite as comfy as my last pair of Hokas.

These didn't work for me because the heel was too wide.

I recently had foot surgery and am having difficulty finding a shoe to fit. My foot is too wide for this shoe. I really like them. I wish I could have fit them.

These were huge. I need wide shoes for bunions, and these suckers were definitely wide. Unfortunately the 9 (which is usually my size in NB and converse) were too big. They are also a bit too manly looking for my like.

I agree with other reviews that stated that the color leaves a lot to be desired. It was the only color available so I thought I’d try it. I am returning it because the tongue came up too high and kept hitting my ankle. I have a higher instep. I felt the width was good in the length was good. It felt like it had to cushioning. It felt like it would be stable on trails. How do you trade I would get blisters from where it hit my ankle.

I was looking for a gore-tex shoe and these are almost perfect. They were comfortable right out of the box. Normally, the Hoka insoles hit my arch in the wrong spot, and I remove them and replace with Spenco's. But, so far, these feel great, although the toe box seems a bit cramped. I may remove the insole to see if that gives me some more room. The styling is much nicer than the Bondi leather I've been wearing. These don't look like clown shoes. I like them so much I ordered a second pair. I wear a wide and one shoe is a bit loose in the heal. These don't have the extra hole at the top that allows for cinching the heal tighter. Also, since the tongue is attached to the shoe on the sides, it's not possible to really lace the shoe tighter if needed. I'd recommend this model. It's a nice looking, casual shoe.
