Hoka One One Challenger ATR

UltraTrail · Oct 1, 2018

4/5

Overall

Shoe rips from general wear and tear very quickly. I had 3 pairs and all 3 started ripping within the first 150 miles or so..which for me is about 10-14 days. Good cushioning and does very well on a variety of surfaces.

The Shoe that gave me a second chance

Anonymous runner · Feb 6, 2018

4/5

Overall

I was about to give up running after a series of shin and foot injuries, when I made the dramatic shift to the Hoka ATR from my minimalist past. I also gave up running on pavement, and exclusively run trails now. The ATR gave me so much cushion, support and traction. And I’ve been consistently running without impact injury for a year now! I’ve even raced a road 5 miler and can hit sub 5 minute pace in them.
