Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger ATR 6

I WAS HOPING FOR A MORE STABLE BUT CUSHIONED RIDE. THIS WAS TO BE!

The Challenger ATR6 is a perfect hard trail/gravel running shoe. They are soft enough for some miles on pavement, perfect if you run a few miles on your way to the trails. Lugs are big enough for compact dirt and gravel, but slip a little on soft dirt/thick leaves. Overall a great option if you are someone who likes to run on various terrain with a single pair of shoes.

Bought it because they had it in wide. Ran my first ultra and they held up great

The Hoka shoes have helped my plantar fasciitis tremo !

Have not put as many trail and road miles I would like but there is some good qualities to the shoe.

I've ran in every iteration of Challengers since ATR 2 (some interactions multiple times) and have had minimal issues. I can usually get 400mi of dedicated trail running before the sides start blowing. This recent pair's padded heel counter on the left shoe fell in on my second run which now causes some irritation. Tried my best to pull it back into shape with minimal luck. Each time I slide my foot into the shoe it falls back in! Chalking the issue as a one off defect. Will continue to purchase in the future.

Solid shoes

According to my size of other brand it suggested regular but that didn't work I had to return it

Lightweight and responsive, but characteristic of every Hoka model, the soles wear out prematurely!

Feels like most other sneakers not what I am used to with a Hoka. A little bummed because I support the brand and have for years so maybe a tad disappointed with the lack of Hoka comfort level in this shoe.

there were only 3 color choices and they were awful

Seemed like a good quality shoe it unfortunately the fit was not right for me. Which is life when looking for new shoes. However the buying experience was very good.

Too small; need 10.5 wide

I have a pair of Hoka Clifton 8's and love them. I ordered a pair of the Challenger 6 shoes thinking the soles would be as soft as the Clifton's but they are not. I like the color, and the fit is good, but will stick to the Clifton's moving forward.

I wear wide shoes but this one did not feel like they are wide.

The sole of one of the shoes came loose after running in them 4 times, only owned them for a couple weeks at thar point. Had to superglue is back on.

I have a pair of Clifton 8s, i thought this pair is also as soft as the clifton's so i bought two pairs, but unfortunately its not. I gave it 3 stars based on what i thought it would be like the clifton. I have bad feet and in need of really soft cushiony shoes but this one is definitely not soft. To give some credit to it, the shoe is very stable in my feet and ankle and for sure very good for trail walking. I dont recommend it to people that is looking for cushiony shoes but absolutely for people that loves to hike. The downside is, the shoes is a little pricey and i think there are a lot of shoes out there that are less expensive.

Love Hoka's shoes, when they fit. Unfortunately, all too often Hokas are not wide enough. Need extra wides.

I wish I would have gotten a 10.5 E, I normally wear 10.5 or a 10 E . I guess HOKA runs narrow.
