I must say this is one of the best pair of shoes I have owned. I mostly wear them to work. i am in healthcare and on my feet all day running around. These shoes are more than I knew I needed. I move so swiftly in these. Wear and tear minimal. Stability great. Comfort there. Structure makes sense. I can't get enough of them. I have been wearing the same shoes for almost 2 years and quality is still good. I even accidentally ordered a longer size on accident and with the extra room it did not ruin the quality. I kept the size bc it was a 9W instead of an 8.5W. So not significantly longer. I ordered a 8.5W and they fit perfectly and I can't wait to wear them at work

I am 66 and I have always worn run of the mill footwear. These shoes are a dream for my old feet. I stand almost twelve hrs a day, 4 days a week. My feet are so very happy!!!' Thank you and I just purchased another pair. My co workers are impressed with my new shoes!!!

This is a great sneaker. It is so cushiony, it’s a pleasure to walk around the house (haven’t worn outside yet.) It fits perfectly - I wear 11W and ordered 11D. There’s plenty of room for my long second toe and my bunions are not hitting the sides with any pain. And it’s very cute. I will say the color is a little more greenish than appears in the picture. It’s a soft blue -green and the picture makes it look fairly blue.

Attractive sneakers, nice color green. They are comfortable but, the sole is semi-plastic. I have two older pairs of Hoka sneakers and the soles are rubber and I have had them for several years. They just don't make things as good as they used to. I assume the reason is because of costs and wanting to make a bigger profit.

I bought a pair for my daughter in nursing school and my other daughter wanted a pair also and now my wife... I might need a pair myself! They love them.

I'm an avid walker. I walk 3-5 miles every day. I will never buy another brand of shoe after experiencing Hoka! No more sore, tired feet. I'm in love with these shoes!!! I'll be buying another pair, as soon as my size restocks. THANK YOU, Hoka

I love Hokas! I always buy the Challengers and they fit like a glove! And the colors are always fabulous, especially this years model, Ether/ Cosmos. I love them!!!
I'd also recommend:
I just LOVE the Hoka Challengers- that's it, no other shoe works for me!

A friend suggested these shoes. I never pay over $100 but this time I splurged and it paid off. Good fit. Cute style and lots if compliments. The stitching rubs a bit without socks.

This is my second pair. I wore my first pair on daily walks (3 miles) and throughout a 2 week trip yo Sicily. Completely comfortable. So I decided to make my next shoe the exact same one. Love these!

I love Hokas! You can take them right out of the box and wear them! No break in time needed! I was worried they would be more purple than blue but they're great!

This my third pair of Hoka shoes. I will never wear another kind of shoe. My feet used to hurt so bad and now they are pain free. Thank you Hoka!

I always have a hard time finding a running shoe that doesn't hurt. These Hoka Challenger 7s did not disappoint. Ordered a wide and had plenty of room. If you're getting the wide shoe, stay true to your size.

I'm a longtime fan of the Clifton for road running and recently started wearing the Challenger for trail running. This is a nice hybrid shoe that i can also wear on road. Fits consistently with Clifton. I am a 9 in Nike but 8.5 in Hokas: (Clifton and Challenger, Gaviota).

These Challengers were my second pair of Hokas. Had been trail running in the Torrents for a couple months which felt too stiff on pavement for me (great on trails, though). Turns out I've run in the Challengers ever since. They transition trail to pavement exceptionally well. I find the grip excellent on sandy/pebbly trails with some larger rocks/small boulders to navigate (New Mexico foothills). I LOVE THEM. For reference, I run 3-5 miles a few times a week, am 5' and weigh about 115 lbs. I usually wear size 8 in running shoes and 8 fits perfect. I wear with thin or lightly padded low or ankle height socks. They've been washed and air dried once, so far no obvious wear. The Torrents have been relegated to Athleisure :)

I’m usually a 9.5 to 9.0 in running shoes. A 9.5 felt most comfortable. I prefer wide but did not chose this, either it wasn’t available? Or I just didn’t. And there’s no problem with the fit. Would purchase again.

These are extremely comfortable, my only wish is that the Wide sizes have the same color options as regular width. Plan on buying another pair of these!

I am on my feet all day on cement. I am 65years old and my poor olde feet get really tired and sore. Hoka shoes have been a game changer for me, and I haven't gotten a pair yet that has let me down. I love them.

Honestly, my favorite shoes in years. I've been struggling with a hip and ankle issue since I wrecked myself trying to do roller derby. These shoes have helped me walk more and are so comfortable I've hardly worn anything else since this purchase. If you're on the fence, go for it. They really are spectacular shoes. I've recommended them to everyone I know. No time to break in - immediately made my feet and back feel better. Here to purchase my next pair.
