Wanted to love them. For me, the arch on one side seemed a little off, to much towards heel, and I could tell it just didn't hit correctly. I ordered a different style and is perfect.

I've been looking for a good pair of walking shoes for a while. My niece recommended hokas and they have met my needs!

These shoes were recommended by a coworker and so far so good. I've been wearing them mostly for work but they seem to do just what they say.

I have foot problems from working in heels in an office for 17 years. I love Hokas and have been wearing them for years. I have found the wide are more comfortable but there isn't a big selection of women's wides. I need the leather or gortex for working outside with horses & these are limited in a wide.

I needed a pair of walking shoes that could weather the elements while walking my dog. I developed plantar fasciitis in a pair of boots during the winter that made it hard to continue walking my dog. These have eased the pain with the cushioned heel strike and I'm experiencing less pain and disability when getting up in the morning. I highly recommend these shoes! My Physical Therapist was excited ton see this pair of shoes in that they are Gortex and water resistant.

We are experiencing a lot of rain here in the northeast and these shoes have saved my feet from getting wet. They are comfortable and good for road and trail. The cushioning is perfect.

I have a few friends who swear by HOKA's. I tried theirs on and felt the bed of the shoes were too wide. I am small and can get tripped up by all these wide bed shoes nowadays. However, I saw one that looked narrower and decided to try it or just send it back. I was scared to take them to Italy as we would be covering a LOT of walking miles. When I returned I tried them on for cleaning my stood and loft (lots of up and down stairs). I went all day long and my feet never hurt!! I just got too tired to work anymore. That is a testimony to these shoes as my feet have changed a lot since menopause and need really good shoes and arch support without squishing my toes. (I grew up at the beach and mostly barefoot or in flip flops. Not possible anymore with my 68 year-old, little duck feet. These shoes at very lightweight and feel like LOVE on my feet. Would like some prettier ones with the same bed for dressier outings. I was encouraged to buy .5 size larger than my normal size 6. I chose W Challenger ATR GTX 6.5B.

Hoka One One Challenger 7 GTX is exactly what I needed. It provides comfort, yet firm support. Cushions my feet while keeping them in place, avoiding any friction point. Several runs in rain and wet grass and sloppy wet trails has proved the waterproof value of this shoe. I didn't think it was possible, but the Challenger 7 improves upon the Challenger 6s that I've been wearing. The heel cup, along with the structure of the shoe is like foot therapy. My corns are healing, my feet are dry. Love these shoes!

These were perfect right out of the box. No breaking in necessary. The fabric could be a little less stiff in the toe box but not a big deal.

Style is a bit like a chunky dad shoe but for trail walking and running or even a work shoe offers excellent support and the waterproof helps with trail terrain and keeping your feet dry(so far so good.)

I love the bright colors, excellent comfort, extremely light weight. At first, they felt too tight widthwise but then I loosened the laces, retied and it was immediate perfection.

This was my second pair of Chalenger 7. I ordered the solid black as i;m 75 and wasn't so gawdy. The shoes are very well made. Leather or material felt harder than my other. I have feet issues and just feel like I need 1/2 size larger.
I'd also recommend:
only thing I've worn has been New Balance and wanted something different.

Love these! I wear an 8.5 and that's what I ordered; so comfortable after 8 hours on my feet as an RN. I have no/low arch and these fit great. These have a roomy toe area -I wear thick socks. I have a bone spur and these felt comfortable. I like the green color and I'm hoping to order another color today.
