Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger ATR 6

While I like the shoe, I thought there would be more padding in the sole, like my first pair of Hokas.

The sole was much thinner in the toe box than I expected - not quite what I need on dirt/gravel trails.

prefer the speedgoat but these are ok.

These were definitely too narrow for my feet as I thought these shoes were more created for wider feet.

Not exactly what I was looking for but now that I have about 50 miles on them they're feeling better

UPDATE FROM PRIOR REVIEW: Unfortunately, I had to return these Sneakers. They were comfortable at first, but after two wears I was done. The pressure in my feet was enormous. Especially, in my heels and the balls of my feet. My feet actually hurt in these Sneakers. It's a shame because I really liked them at first. They're very nice looking, but didn't meet my expectations. They also made my feet look much bigger than they actually are. My feet looked like Side Show Bob. Lol! These are very well made Sneakers, just not for me. Not enough support.

the "upgrade" of this hoka is truly disappointing. feels like the cushioning is less and rigidity is more. Personally, it was perfectly balanced before. Now I am unable to run several miles. I get sore after 1. will now be on the search for something that works better. Wish they would not do these downgraded "upgrades".

This is my fourth pair of HOKA's and probably my least favorite. They felt too long and the toe box did not fit well but I thought since all my other pairs were 9's that I just needed to break them in. I walk about 3-5 miles daily and they never got to fit better but instead started to hurt my feet. So I bought another pair in 8.5 and they fit better although the toe box still doesn't feel right. I'll continue to wear them but will not buy this model again. Looking to give away the 9's because I didn't pay attention to the 30 day return policy but will next time.

These are super comfortable and require no break in period. That said, the soles do not hold up to rocky trails, the tread pulls away and gets caught on rocks as you hike, causing a potential trip hazard. They would be great for smoother hiking trails but it's just too rocky here. I returned them and HOKA was great about giving me a credit for a different pair.
