Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger Mid GORE-TEX®

Great shoes super lightweight and comfortable No break in period Super happy

AWESOME, good fit

Very light and stable. I have 25 miles on them so far short trail running and hiking. Too eye hooks are a little different but easy to get used to. I'll buy again.

super comfortable.

My son is an active camper and was looking for a comfortable but supportive pair of boots. I was thrilled with my Hoka One One Stensons, so I recommended that he try Hokas- he is so happy with them- he said they are the most comfortable pair of boots or any other show he has ever worn.

The forefoot fit is great, the padding is very good for my foot issues I would certainly recommend to anyone with Morton's toe, bunions, or crossover toe issues. Thanks so much

I use the shoes for work

1st Hoka purchase. Very excited. True fit comes comes too small. So I ordered 1/2 size bigger. Comfortable. Easy Return/purchase.

I love the Challeger Mid Gore-Tex. It's a terrific mid hiker. Very comfortable.

I bought my first pair of HOKA shoes over two years ago because of a friends recommendation. At the time i was suffering from planters fasciitis because of my job and the fact that i am standing on my feet most of the day. After two month of wearing my HOKA shoes my foot pain disappeared and it has not returned.

There are great for my flat feet and planar fascitis. My feet don't hurt like they normally do after a 12 hour work shift on concrete floors. Will not purchase any other brand for work from now on.

I recently had a twisted ankle injury and your products were the only ones to help me walk more painless... also many of my coworkers at VA in San Juan are buyin them too.

I bought this mid Challenger GTX for hiking the waterfalls and rocky trails in Pisgah....they performed admirably , especially going down on large rock formations...the grip was excellent

I use my Challenger Mid Gore-tex for both road and wet Michigan trails. Very light weight and nimble yet protect my feet against wet and rough terrain like a boot. I would buy again.

I use this shoe to run along the Rio Grande River which can be damp/wet. Bought the low cut version and loved it so I bought the mid top and Love it.

I am 56 years old, and came down with Plantar Fac in the early spring. It turned very bad / chronic, and I finally went to the podiatrist. I received two steroid injections, that really didn't do much. So frustrated. The doctor finally recommended that I go to the local shoe fitter for some good quality shoes or inserts. I purchased a pair of the HOKA Bondi-7. I like them, but not fully satisfied with the Bondi-7. I then ordered the HOKA Challenger Mid, and instantly after trying them on, feel a perfect fit, support, cushioning, and the required ankle support that I needed for Plantar Fac. They work great for regular walking on pavement, and uneven terrain. SO COMFORTABLE, all day!!! I love them so much I started wearing them into the office instead of the Bondi-7's. I plan on wearing them on my upcoming hunting trip. Note that they are NOT hot for the office. If you have Plantar Fac. this shoe is awesome. My personal opinion is that if you have Plantar Fac., you need ankle support as well to correct the condition. This shoe changed me! This shoe is made well, and does run a little on the bigger side. I wear a size 12 on the Bondi-7, and wear a size 11.5 on the Challenger Mid. They are worth every penny! To early to say how they will hold up.

Comfort!

My first pair of hikers and second pair of Hoka. Great shoes, great fit and excellent overall experience.

I've been with foot pain for years and this is the first shoe I can say works for my prolonged standing and overall comfort. To be flat footed and stand for ten plus hours a day is unbearable but the HOKAs help. They are in my footwear lineup arsenal for sure. THANK YOU HOKA

They provide great support and comfort for jobs that have you on your feet all day.

I got a pair of the Hoka Challenger Gortex mids from my brother. He brought them for me as a gift to work in. I'm 45 and have arthritis in my knees and work in a major hardware/homegoods store and on my feet most of the day. They are very comfortable and stylish, I like them more as an all around boot as they are comfortable and stylish to wear anywhere. Thanks to my brother as I never heard of this brand before, I plan to purchase again when the time comes around

I would highly recommend these to anyone. Wore them the first day fishing and it rained all day. Feet never got the least bit wet and some of the most comfortable boots ive ever worn

Trail walking

These shoes are a game changer. Excellent support and comfortable walks. Love them.
