Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger ATR 5 GTX

I may need a wide shoe and I do not see that size available.

Purchased these for walking, but the soles were very stiff and the soles are very thick. Had to return because they were uncomfortable and felt unstable.

Great shoe for standing and walking but I would avoid jogging or running in these as my feet hurt pretty quickly when I had to jog a .5 mile in them.

The shoes felt pretty good hiking in, but the way its built with mesh upper, lets water stay there making feet cold when you stop hiking in the winter. Also it felt like some water seeped in through the goretex. I am returning them. I will keep using the Kaha shoe instead for winter hiking.

I bought the ATR 5 Gore Tex because I was so favorably impressed with the Bondi 6 shoes I bought two months ago. The ATR 5s are a whole different shoe, much stiffer and much warmer (not needed in the Arizona desert). I was very unimpressed with the cheapo insoles that came with this pair of shoes and have since changed them out.

I hiked 10 miles in new shoes. I liked the feel except for on both second toes. The seams in the booties apparently protrude and irritate the tops of the toes. I now have two toes that need to heal.

Leather near the second lace hole from the top digging into the top of my foot

I haven't had a chance to test the waterproof element yet. They are plenty warm and comfortable. The traction feels good. But the all-black model looks terrible. I like black shoes, but it needs something else.

The shoes are tighter than my last 3 purchases

Got this shoe for winter running on gravel roads, which it does soften the blow of big rocks, but...Stiff. I've done 75 miles in this shoe and it still feels super stiff. No lie, I can't bend these shoes when I flex my toes. Why bother with the thick soles when you're still getting pounded by the pavement? Looking for the Cush Hoka, where's it at? Plus, when I go over 6 mile the really run the outside of my feet.

May be good for others but was super narrow and tight on the top of my foot. Don't usually wear a wide. Expected more sole/arch support and needed more plush/heel comfort. Traded for bondi.

I purchased these shoes to use for work, as I'm walking/standing on hard concrete or ladders for most of my 10(+) hour shifts. When they first arrived in the mail I tried them on and was happy with how comfortable they were, and knew they'd make a difference. By day 3 of wearing them to work, my feet hurt so bad in the arch area. The way the soles of these shoes rub my arch area makes it to where I won't even wear them anymore, and I'm only 4 days in.

First, let me start by saying that I love Hoka sneakers...but here is the reason for such a low rating. I own one pair of Hokas...I went online to order a second pair. I submitted my order, but after a few weeks, I wondered where my shoes were. The order was never processed and when I called in, I was told it was too late to manually process and the order would be eliminated. I know things happen, I am cool with that, but GOOD companies try to make things right. Hoka did not attempt to do that... It kind of makes me sad. I love the shoes, but will try elsewhere on principle. Andrew

Still enjoying my first 3 pairs of Hoa shoes, but this Gortex pair turned out to be very stiff and uncomfortable; also right shoe made a four "click" noice with each step. I returned them.

I had high hopes for this shoe but I wore them for a minute and could barely stand they were super tight even after loosening the the laces it was still too tight around the middle. Had to return them.

just had some bad luck I think...

I have 10 pairs of Hoka's and ATR 5's are a lot wider than all of the shoes I have purchased and I have to pay to return them
