Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7

I started wearing HOKA shoes when I was having problems with my feet and legs. I've recently gone to a 4E width but bought these in wide and they feel fine. Love the look and how comfortable they are. This is my 2nd pair.

I'm a traveling salesman who likes to run, walk. I prefer trail running but find myself often on blacktop and pavement. This shoe provides traction for both. It's very lightweight so it's easy to pack. It would be a perfect shoe if the wide size came in Gore- Tex as well!

The lighter running shoes I ever seen! Ultra-comfortable and stable. very efficient sole on absorbing the chocks..

I bought these for my son for Christmas. He is a UPS driver and on his feet most of the day. He loves the way these shoes fit and the comfort they afford. I am sure he would buy a pair himself when these finally wear out.

SIL went running 5 mi in it day he received them. Loved them.

I got these for my husband who never gets himself nice shoes, he will spend money on myself or our boys but not his self I thought he was going to faint when he opened up his Christmas gift. He has wore his shoes every day since Christmas. I hope he has seen the importance of good shoes!!!

Feel light, will def become a tool in my health journey!!

I was looking for something with a bit tougher sole than a Bondi, and some extra traction for walking and running around in Durango and it local trails. 30 day on them the soles are solid. The shoe has good cushion for bigger runners ( my dog love long walks/hikes with running section ) So far traction has been good when there is fresh snow on the ground and on the local trails . They are slippery on heavily packed snow/ice ( but I throw on metal spike when it like this or move Vibram sole shoe on these days)

If they continue with my size will buy this shoe again

comfy

In my closet right now I have a total of 10 pair of shoes all Hoka brand. These are the most comfortable ones I own I wear these anytime I am going walking.

I use this shoe as I have others at my place of work. I am constantly on my feet and Hokas are the only shoes that keep my feet comfortable all day. I think the bondi 8 is just a slightly more comfortable shoe.

This was a gift for my son to replace the same shoes he bought a long time ago. He is well pleased.

These shoes are super comfortable with incredible cushioning, light weight and amazing traction for trail running and hiking.

The challenger is the most comfortable and capable trail shoe available in today's market. I bought this pair for my stepson who is a Green Barret in the Army and he loves them. Unfortunately I didn't have the same luck with the Hoparas I bought a few months ago. The heel strap ripped right at the pull tab on each shoe. When I called customer service they told me there was nothing they could do, very dissapointing since I've purchased several pairs of Hoka shoes.

I run and walk with them daily. Very light and comfortable.

Sized perfectly, a nice smooth walk. Love 'em.

Great shoe for 3 miles or 30!

Have ran in these 5X now. Mostly trail and a little pavement. My longer run in them was 8 miles and had no hot spots. It's just the right amount of cushion and not spongy at all. Sometimes would get some pain in my heels in the SG5s. I didn't notice the little extra weight compared to the SG5s at all. Highly recommend.

I bought this shoes for everyday wear as well as for occassional trail running. Very light and soft. Feels great. Mineral Brown / Asteroid looked really good in pictures, not so much when I got to see it. Unfortunately I had to return the shoes because of that. Got the color I wanted from a different retailer. I am really happy with the shoes so far

Hoka has once again come up with another great shoe for those of us who suffer from plantar fasciitis. It hugs the heel making for a comfortable stride with all day support. The only issue i have with the shoe is the cut around the ankle area rubs the bottom of my ankle. So far it hasn't led to any pain or issues.
