I find the footbed is not as plush as it was on challenger v5. The upper mesh on the shoe is a little denser so not quite as much airflow. I miss the pull loop on the heel. Overall the shoe is pretty comfy, in my opinion just not as comfy as version 5. I also have a narrow foot so have to pull the shoe strings so tight the sides of the closures are almost roughing each other. True to size.

The only negatives is it feels like it runs smaller especially in he toe box other than that very supportive.

They are so comfortable, lightweight and durable. I can walk, work, stand in them all day.

I use these for work and I work 10 hours on my feet all day and the arch is a little too high for me. I have bought 2 pairs of Arahi 6 and I love those so I think I will stick to those for my feet. Unfortunately I threw away the box and could not return.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs SmallRuns Large
Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
Why did they make major changes to my Challenger ATR that was perfect as it was? I love the fit and design of the Challenger ATR 6 (or earlier because mine at over 2 years old). The ATR 7 sole is now an inch HIGHER than the 6. I don’t need more height or a platform running shoe. Also, the left and right shoe don’t seem to match in fit. The laces are slick and won’t stay tied. Why did they tinker with a perfectly fitting shoe design? I will have to send these back. Bummer!!

Finding comfortable and supportive shoes has been a challenge for decades since I have an ankle joint replacement and arthritic big toes. These shoes are heavenly! My feet are so well supported and comfortable. There was literally no break-in period. I'm sold on rocker bottom shoes. I would recommend these shoes for anyone with big toe issues where you want to minimize big toe flexion and for anyone with plantar fasciitis.

Great stability and support. This style seems to run a little bigger than their others and I should have ordered. Half size smaller.

I already had these but I got them for my wife because she had another brand and was slipping all the time on larger rocks, they just had no grip, rubber too hard it seemed. I never had a problem. She tried and worked perfect, much safer and the comfort cushioning is the best. Recommend always getting a wide version of any model if available, standard seems too narrow. And HOKA, when are you gonna make GAITORS ? do I really have to wrap my HOKA's in another brand name?

The colors are true to the picture. Nice looking shoe. Although I purchased in wide since I have really wide feet. This shoe feels a bit snug. Unlike the other 3 pairs I purchased which one I had to return for a smaller size. Other than that they are comfortable when I walk and I'm sure once they are broken in all be fine!

Not as comfortable as my Merrell hiking shoes but they are lighter weight.

After running for a while this shoe rubs on my little toe. Why aren't women's shoes offered in XWIDE? I'm not a big person, I just have really wide feet!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with these shoes. I had ordered two different pair to see which I preferred. Once I put on the Arahi 6, I knew those were the ones! Will be exchanging for a second pair of Arahi!

I wear a size 12 and these seemed to be true to size. But they have a narrow forefoot that pinched the outer side of my foot. In general they felt pretty narrow even in the heel cup. Cute colors by had to return bc they were just to narrow and a wide was not available.

I recently learned i had a bunion and struggled to find shoes that were my style and comfortable enough to not make my bunion sore after wearing and these are the one ! I love the color and the none shoe lace! so easy to take on and off ! it does come with a pair of shoe lace if you do decide to change it. highly recommend !

I bought this shoe just for the gym. It has the best support I need considering I have hip issue. Has plush foot padding. I ordered a
9 1/2 however it is little big even with an insert. Other than that I would've given it 5 star.

I get so many comments on my flashy shoes! Everyone notices them because of the bright color combination and everyone, including me, loves them!

Great walking shoe. Never needed breaking in. They were comfortable from the start. Bought them to do a lot of walking on our vacation.

Please share all these terrific colors in WIDE!!! It feels like all the Wide sizes are constantly black, white, and maybe 1 color. I need color. Never seen browns, or Navy. Actually, I did see navy several years ago, but it's been way too long. I love the brown/beige color in the Bondi, but do not like the fit of the new Bondi. Bondi fits nothing like all the previous years. What a disappointment there.
