Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7 GORE-TEX®

Light, comfy, durable, flexible, stylish, all in all in one shoes.

80% of my jogs are on trails. Other on roads. This shoe is great mix for me

I was running in a pair of Nike Pegasus Goretex trail running shoes. After an 8 mile race a few weeks ago I could barely walk and big toes bruised. I ran a half marathon in my Clifton 7 (not trail running shoes) and and no pain - so I figured I'd try the Challenger. Ran 8 miles again this Sunday and had little to no pain in my toes and feet afterward.

I work on my Feet 8 to 9 hours a day and this shoe makes me feel like a have a Mattress on my Feet!

Has a little wider toe box. I need wide width due to bunion. It's very comfortable and doesn't need much breaking in. Plan to wear in Scotland. My husband has them also.

Fits great , really comfy ..... feels a little bit different than the Speed Goat 4 & 5 ... I own booth

Comfortable and useful in all weather conditions.

I work on my feet all day on concrete floors and these seem to hold up very well so far. My feet aren't aching like they always do after work and they feel cushioned when I walk

All around useful for walking in almost any weather

I am 76 years old with bad knees and a heel that was fractured 20 years ago. I play golf through the winter time in Charlotte, NC. It can be cold (temp in the 30's) and wet. These shoes have kept my feet incredibly warm and dry. I have been very pleased with how good they are. They also provide the plush cushion that the Bondi 8's give me. The only drawback are the limited number of colors available (currently only 3). I highly recommend the Challenger GTX

Walking some running uneven ground excellent shoe really like the toe area with black rubber cap.

Durable, comfortable, and sleek streamlined look, perfect for form my outdoor routine this time of year.

I have planters fasciitis in my foot and these sneakers really help. Thanks

I bought the CHALLENGER 7 GTX and the CHALLENGER 7 and compared the two for my activities. I ended up choosing both because they act differently for my activities. For example, extreme to low impact cardio I would choose the CH 7 over CH 7GTX due to stability and comfort. Overall gym and outdoor activities I would differently choose the CH 7GTX due to durability, comfort and thread. My intent was to choose one over the other, but I have to say that these shoes are built tough and do not skimp on comfort. You want a good shoe, then to choose a HOKA. MRL

Really enjoy the run in these sneakers. Replace 2-3 yr old pair I thought were treating me well enough but the new stride is much better.

At working, in party, & when jogging or running.

I'm a casual runner, and have been dealing with a foot injury for about a year now. My doctor recommended Hoka's, the running model was not in my size but this model was. My feet feel a lot better! I have not been able to run in them yet, but this is a very sturdy shoe and looks like it is built to last.

Great sneaker, fit was perfect, my personal opinion I like these more then the speedgoat 5

My Hokas are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.

The sneaker feels great, lots of cushioning, great impact protection, plus the Gortex waterproofing makes it real deal.

Excellent buy love it !!
