Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7

I have feet that are tough to find shoes for: 7W. After hearing goods things about Hoka, I was overjoyed to see a model, Challenger ATR, that came in 7W. My joy was short-lived. After opening the box with much anticipation, I was crushed to find them too narrow. Unfortunately, they aren't offered in double wide. Another model is, but only starting with size 8. Therefore, I never wore them, can't give them a use rating, and returned them. My search continues.

I had the previous version, it was great. This model rubs my achilies tendon due to the weird shaped back of shoes. The loop to help pull the shoe on has also been removed, it was a great feature. Do not buy this shoe.

I bought them for work. I stand for 8 hours in a driveway loading cars and directing traffic. I liked that they have extra support in the bottom heel area. I've tried a couple different orthotic insoles that I regularly use in my previous shoes for extra support but for whatever reason. These shoes hurt my ankle and the side of my toe. They might be shaped slightly off or something in angle and affect the way I stand maybe.

I cannot make any comments on the shoes as they were not fitting my foot so o returned the shoes. One think I would appreciate is better return shipping options .

I had the Challenger ATR 6 and loved them, the redesigned Challenger is so bad. I don't know why they would mess with such a great design. This "New Design" is not an improvement. Soft upper and the increased stack makes it so I am less stable in the shoe. If you think it's the same as the Challenger ATR 6, it won't be.

For me they were very uncomfortable.

Looks like a really nice shoe however but my heel kept slipping out of the back, I wasn't able to try them on ahead of time so I he'd to return them
