Love the color. Loved the sale price. Lots of room in the toe box. I needed a W width, so I will have to return.

I liked the feel of the shoe, but toe box was snug. Supported my ankles well. The only thing I can say for the cons is that the ridges on the insole hurt my feet after 7 or 8 hrs. Took a couple days for my feet to feel normal after this day of wearing these shoes. But I'm 66 yrs old takes longer to heal. I am switching to Clifton 9 and see if they are better. I did like the challenger 7 otherwise.

Really liked these shoes. I wear a 10 and ordered a 10.5. Toes were right at the end of the show, so returned and ordered a size 11 from a local shoe store. Pick they up today but tried on a pair at the store and believe they will work fine.

These are VERY comfortable. They fit my feet. I like them even more with Green Feet - but I have to grind off The Green Feet under the big toe to make room.

I should have listened to some reviewers and Reddit comments. These are ridiculously narrow compared to my older Hokas. There's no way I could where my normal size and I don't really have that wide a foot.

I didn't keep these shoes because my toes were crunched up while other models of the same size fit just fine. I have high arches and this shoe doesn't accomodate the high instep that goes with the high arch. There also didn't seem to be much if any arch support. The length seemed fine and they were cushy and stylish.

My honest review is the challenger 7 is very comfy especially it has the wide fit version,the problem is the shoe never last over a year despite being worn for regular walking only,fabric starts to fall apart,especially where the fold area of the shoes,and the inside of the heel.I would think for the price of it,it should last a little longer.But again,it is one of the most comfy shoes i've owned.

I started off when I bought these saying I'd buy another pair when the time came but after only 4 months I can't say that anymore. After about a month the heel started to ware through which has never happened to me with any shoe and after just 4 months of ware the outsole has started to delaminate and peel from the bottom of the shoe.

The Clifton style I purchased is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn . The challenger I like for style and color.
I prefer styles that offer a darker sole (white gets to dirty).
Keep up the great work you're doing.
I will look forward to new styles and colors!

I have a prosthetic leg. Most shoes do not function well with a prosthetic foot or leg, but these hookah Challenger sevens are awesome! It is the issue of balance stability seems to be OK so that's why I am in a quandary over why the balance is not quite there. However, these shoes have proved to be an excellent choice!

I absolutely loved the Challenger 5 ATR shoe. There are some changes with the 7's that my feet just aren't loving.

The challenger 7s are my 13th pair of Hokas , so to say the least, I am pretty sold out on the Hoka brand. However, if the challenger 7s were the only Hoka style that I knew of, I would be very disappointed overall. I have several different styles of Hokas, and these are the least comfortable. They look great, but come up short on comfort, for me.

Last HOKAs (same model) I purchased were size 9.5 and fit perfectly. Had to return that size and get a 10 for the same level of comfort this year. Definitely smaller than previous.

First time buying a Hoka Trail Running shoe. Was worried it would feel too cushiony but great balance of cushion and responsiveness. Fits like a glove and no hot spots. Only have used it for a few runs, but love it.

I really like the perfect fit and the wider heel counter. It feels like my foot is more and more stable with
every step.
Thank you.

Must of us buy Hokas because of their plush step. This one was listed as a max-plush option but it was not as plush as advertised. That said, I love the treads and the roomy toe-box. With cushiony inserts, they are working well for me.

This was my 3rd attempt for correct walking shoe. Have found after two weeks that it is a durable shoe with comfort. Wish the Challenger 7 came with more conservative colors.
