Foot Base was odd. Seemed like there are formations in the wrong areas of the foot base with little arch support.

They were too big. I wear size 8 of challenger but the gtx was too big in the same size. But I may try another size of gtx because I love these shoes!

Size and fit consistent with other HOKA sneakers that I have. Ordered my usual size in HOKA (8.5) and fit well. Also ordered a half size up (9), based on a comment about the Goretex taking up more room in the footbed, but it was too big. I wear them with an off-the shelf insert for plantar fasciitis that I use with all of my sneakers. Sturdy, good traction for easy level trail walks, water-resistant in wet grass (haven't worn them in a downpour yet).

This is my 11th pair and as always, the best shoe EVER. I have issues with my feet and ever since I bought the first pair, my feet are very appreciative of the comfort I have provided them. I will continue to buy again, and again and again.

Great shoe. I am usually between 8.5 and 9, and the 8.5 fit perfectly.

Have several pairs of Hokas, because I’m an avid walker. These are great for the winter. Normally wear a size 8, but sized up in these to a 8 1/2. Mostly so I can wear a thicker sock and also the shoe was a little shorter than my other Hokas.

Love these shoes -- very supportive of my problematic feet. I have awful bunions and a wide toe box, and even though these aren't in a "wide" fit, they fit my foot very well. They are also very cute; love the bright colors. Highly recommend.
I'd also recommend:
Orthofeet; New Balance

I've tried so many different brands of Hokas. However, I loved the Challenger 7 Gore-Tex because I love how they feel when walking, jogging, or running on city streets.

I bought these because I loved the color, when I put them on, I was skeptical, but when I took them out for a walk, I was very impressed with the soft comfort, like walking on pillows and I can feel the support and stability! I'd recommend these and will be ordering a couple others styles that are meant for just walking! I waited a year to purchase, as I just loved the color I'd chosen, I wish I'd gotten them sooner

I use the Challenger 7 GTX for all my hikes. Did two 13 mile plus hikes in them and they are great. I wish they'd bring back more colors. I may try the Stinson, but I like the waterproof feature on the Challenger
I recommend them to my girlfriends

Since my doctor told me I had plantar fasciitis I searched for a shoe that would give me pain relief from my feet and knees. I tried hoka and have been a proud wearer every since. The soles of these shoes are like little clouds from heaven. Hoka is now my go-to shoe.

I got the Challenger 7 GTX to go for morning walks across different terrains, including (lots of) wet grass. I needed something waterproof and with some traction, but that could also function on paved roads. The shoe is fantastic for that. I love my Bondi 8s for walking/running on roads, but the Challenger 7 GTX is perfect for my morning walk needs. It seems a bit longer than the Bondi 8--I can fit my orthotic in a size 8 Challenger GTX, whereas with other Hokas I have to go up a half size to fit the orthotics comfortably. Everyone says it's narrow, but I have narrow feet so I don't notice that. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a waterproof walk/run shoe. I'll definitely buy it again.

I wore these sneakers to Six Flags Great America. As most know, that's an all-day event that requires walking. My feet did not ache one bit.

This is the second pair I bought, so lite feels like nothing on my feet.
I have a high in step and can wear all day and my back doesn't hurt!
Definitely will continue with Hoka brand.
