Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger ATR 6

The fit was good and very comfortable but the quality was really awful. Bought these for a hiking trip and they began to fall apart almost immediately. Really disappointed with this company. I thought it was a reputable brand but found out otherwise. Definitely not what you would expect from a pair of $139 shoes!

I have a history of rolling my ankle, and usually wear Hoka Cliftons (which I love) but in anticipation of a trip out west, I wanted something with a more grippy sole, so went with these. The first time I wore them, they caused pain in the top of my foot, so the next time I wore them I loosened the laces a little bit. We'd gone less than a mile on very flat ground when I apparently landed wrong and rolled my ankle. I ended up having to cancel my trip because these shoes are so stacked with cushion (like all Hokas) that it has kept from walking comfortably for 3 weeks now, and there was no way I could trek the National Parks in my current state. I think these are a terrible shoe for people struggling with underpronation / supination, and that it was literally the shoe itself that caused the imbalance that allowed my foot to roll. Three years of wearing Hoka's Cliftons for running and walking -- even on uneven trails, and I have not rolled my ankle once. I'm writing this review hoping to save someone else the pain of this sort of injury. I will add that Hoka's customer service was good. They allowed me to return the shoe even though I bought it from a brick and mortar store and they did give me full credit for use on Hoka online.

These are my first pair of trail runners, so I have to basis for comparison. Having said that, these feel very light and protect my feet very well on rocky terrain. I jog in these as well, however something about the fit and my foot seems bother my toes in one spot. I don't think this is the shoes fault. I have weird feet.
