Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger ATR 5 GTX

I bought this shoe specifically for it's waterproof feature. So far , it excels at that, but cushioning is lacking. Tread grip is good, even ok on road/sidewalk portions of run. I think next waterproof purchase will end up being a road shoe as I am an older runner and need more cushioning than this model offers.

I love the Bondi 6, but my feet were wet every day. I walk early and the grass is always wet here in sunny Florida! These shoes keep my feet dry. They may not have quite as much cushioning and comfort as Bondi 6, but on wet days they are perfect!

Good fit, keep my feet dry and warm.

These keep my feet warm and dry hiking on trails. They are sturdy and have great support and traction. I was happy with the sizing they fit well.

shoe is sturdy, comfortable and attractive.

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned! I purchased them for trail running but am wearing for work too.

I wear them to work every day.

Only thing I don't like is the color. They have kept my feet dry while hiking on wet days. They also grip well on hills.

I bought the Challenger ATR 5 after my podiatric surgeon recommended Hoka One One as the best shoe for post-surgery and beyond. He said the stiffer, supportive sole and meta rocker design are the best choice to prevent me from re-developing the severe arthritis and hallux rigidus on my toe that landed me in his office in the first place. As a middle-aged runner, I was hesitant to take his advice and end 10 years of only wearing New Balance with orthotics, but I am so glad I did! These shoes are fabulous--supportive, comfy, light, and work great for road or trail miles. I had to test out the Bondi 6 and the Clifton before settling on the Challenger as the best fit for me. They run a half size smaller than my New Balance, but the toe box is slightly wider, which is exactly what I need. I flinched at the price at first, but they are definitely worth it. I know I will order more Hoka One One in the future. Consider me a convert!

We walk our dog 4-5 times a week for 4 miles each walk. These shoes are great for our rainy weather. Feet stay dry. Traction is great. I have feet issues and Hoka One One has made it possible to walk with less pain.

Wanted a waterproof shoe - and these really are!!! Comfy too.

I walk every day and recently began having back problems and foot problems. Hoka has resolved those problems by changing the weight change on my feet. I love them

I love these shoes. They are waterproof, with a smaller profile. I use them for walking on trails and they are great. I have many pairs of Hokas and I am a fan, but these are my very favorite, from fit, grip, extremely comfortable and lightweight and the bonus of being waterproof!

Everything! From serious outside chasing... my dogs that got loose from my gate being opened! To hiking around town and working out at the gym! My all favorite shoes wear.

One of the best I've ever ordered I used them to walk 5miles a day and I have had 3 surgeries on my ankle and for a while I would get pain within 2 miles but with these nothing I can even do more but don't push myself there get and there true to size love them

I bought these shoes for my wife to wear them on hikes and regular long walks on road. She loves it. The fit is perfect the cushion is good too and they seem to be durable because they have tough lugs. This was her second pair of the same model.

I bought these in November, knowing I was going to teach outdoors in the Northeast everyday. I was looking for the impossible; a sneaker style shoe that I could wear in all weather, snow, rain, mud, you name it (I have an aversion/old injury that makes it uncomfortable for me to wear boots). And when I tell you I wore these everyday in every weather, I mean I wore them every single day (except the one day after it snowed ~5 inches). I wore these in the snow, mud, rain, hail, sleet, in 20 degree weather, in 70 degree weather, all while chasing preschoolers up and down a pretty steep hill. Not once did my feet get wet, or too hot, and when paired with a decently thick sock, never got cold. For full disclosure, I did not ever run in these, they were used more as a glorified walking shoe. They run a smidge big (I'm generally a 9.5, I purchased a 9), but there is plenty of room in the toe box (I have a normal to slightly wide foot). I credit these shoes as part of the reason I did not quit my job, as I am notoriously unable to withstand harsh winters.

I like the other one that are higher but this also are better then the other brand

I appreciate their 30 day trial!
