I own over 10+ pairs of Hokas. This is the first pair I have returned because I didn’t like the fit. The laces do not come up all the way. The right shoe felt larger than the left. I bottom is very smooth with no ridges. I loved the color and style…..that’s the main reason I ordered them, but the shoe must be comfortable the first time on…..these didn’t make the cut for me!
I'd also recommend:
I only wear Hokas

Love the look and the style is like a slip on (which I like) BUT the heal folds down and is difficult to pull up when trying to put them on! There is no loop on the heal and though the heal lip is higher, it’s hard to grip. The sole is smoother than my other Hoka sneakers, making these more slippery than I’d like. A bit disappointing in my opinion. They are comfortable once on but I prefer my Mach 5’s, Clifton 8’s, and Bondi over these Challengers

I have LOVED hoka for years and decided to try this style. Unfortunately, I hated the fit. The arch support was flat, they were slightly bigger than usual and they aggravated my Plantar fasciitis. Returned and got the Hoka Mack 5 (previous clifton wearer) and LOVE them. Much cuter than other hoka styles, wish they were more comfortable.

I only got these because I wanted the carbon x2 which I LOVE!!! It got these b/c they were the only option... I cannot say enough about how horrible these shoes are. 1st, you have to slide the shoe on like a sock. Imagine a sock which is really tight and very difficult to get on, with a rubber sole. Then once you try and try to shove your foot inside the stupid shoe, your sock is push all the way back because the opening where you slide your foot in, is so tight, you can't get your foot in unless you shove it in bringing back your sock. Once you finally get the shoes one, 5 minutes later, the top of the shoe, where the top of the tongue should be, because its so tight, it pushes down on the top of your foot, causing a complete lack of circulation and pain. These those are horrible! they are NOTHING like the x2, nothing, and are horrible and so much worse. I truly loved the x2. These were more money and completely horrible.

This was the least comfortable Hoka I've ever tried. It almost felt like the insole was missing. I liked the two tone color-way. My kids said they looked like clown shoes or bowling shoes. they went back and I'm still searching for my next favorites.

Not disappointed. Ordered a 10.5 due to product not being offered in wide. Awesome comfort and support. Work 12 hr. shifts and constantly on my feet. Toe box wide enough that toes aren't bunched up. Just a downright comfortable shoe. Hoka shoes are my go-tos for style and comfort.

my first pair of HOKA was perfect. I've since ordered 2 different styles in the same size and they were too big, and no tongue on a running shoe just feels counter intuitive.

I LOVE Hokas. I LOATHE these. Super uncomfortable and stiff. Zero support. I wore them on a two mile walk and regretted it thinking I’d try different socks the next time. Nope. Not the socks. They’re just awful.

Everything about this shoe is awesome, but with one exception. I need to use a shoe horn to put the shoes on. Not a huge issue since my husband has many for his dress shoes. But, this is something that needs to be highlighted. Having said all of this, I would buy the shoes again.

Salomon

I ordered a 6.5 thinking the cushion would take up space…But they really are true to size. So I’ll be ordering a 6. These shoes would be fit enough for the gym or running/walking. I thought about keeping them as I noticed significant relief in knee and back pain. I also noticed they gently guide my gait to a more natural/neutral position.
