Proud hoka owner
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 am very disappointed in this product!
I have worn Challenger for years with great fit and comfort - wore out my 6's.These 7's are a huge disappointment! Too narrow in the tow box, the raised lip pm at the heel is not comfortable- my heel slips!!! I tried to get them to feel comfortable but they don't work! Returned.

Great shoes for wearing all day
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.

Not the same as regular Challenger 7
Challenger 7 got me through the Camino and are my miracle shoe. So I was excited to find the same model with gore Tex. However, after purchasing , and walking long distance, they didn't have the same comfort feeling as the regular ones. The fit was stiffer and it seemed that I could feel the top edge of the shoe rubbing my ankle bone. I kept trying to break them in by wearing often to soften the feel, but unfortunately they don't seem to be getting any better but too late to return. So probably attribute it to the gore Tex which I've read can make a shoe stiffer and less breathable. Also, didn't seem to be as much cushion, but hard to know why they aren't as comfortable. The regular ones were amazing right out of the box, no breaking in. My only wish is that they would make more colors, like white ones. I'm really getting tired of the bright colors and would prefer more muted.

Too Big
Very comfortable! I love the colors and the style. However, they are big for a size 5. I kept them because I do like the style and no smaller options. Or sure I would buy again.

I will not buy this shoe again.
This shoe is NOT waterproof. I bought this shoe so that I could walk in the rain and keep my feet dry. I just went out for a rainy walk and my feet got soaked. I didn't even try to walk through puddles. I would really like to return these shoes. I like HOKAS and have worn them exclusively since seeing them at the expo for the Chicago marathon in 2010.

Very uncomfortable
I have several pairs of Hokas and love all of them except for this one. The shoe is narrow (made my foot fall asleep) and tilts down towards your big toe when walking. Should have listened to the reviews - had to return.

I cannot see why this shoe has 3.5 stars
I love these shoes so much, I started with brooks then to oncloud then hoka. And I will never go back unless it's a cute shoe I really like. But these by far are my favorite these do not and have not ever made my feet hurt!

Good performance, but the fit is off
I've had somewhere between 8-12 pairs of Hokas over the years (including trail runners, water shoes, and hikers) and this pair definitely has the worst fit of all of them. On me, the shoe runs small. My toes hit the end and don't do that in any of my others. I have the GTX version, so I wonder if that is a result of the waterproofing? The arch also seems a bit low or off in a way I can't put my finger on. That being said, I bought these shoes with GTX mostly to walk our property with my dog and not worry about my shoe soaking through from wet grass. These hold up great for that! I have decided to not use them for any other outdoorsy purpose because of the fit. I'm still giving them 3 stars because the GTX is great and the shoe is durable. I'd try them again maybe a half size bigger to see if that helps.
