Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7 GORE-TEX®

Cushioning is top notchno more hip pain!

These are my summer trail running shoes in the desert and up the mountain. Still some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned period. Try them out - you cannot go wrong!!

Bought these shoes for my son who suffers from Plantar Facialitis and Gout. He loves them and said he has been pain free in his feet since wearing them

By far the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Worth every penny.

Very good quality as always

I use these for trail and road running with hills. They reduced if not eliminated the back and knee pain I experienced with other shoes that claimed stability and cushioning.

I purchased these shoes for my daughter who works for DHL. She is constantly on her feet and she noticed how many people wear HOKA footwear there. With a birthday coming up, I told her I would get her a pair. They were a hit and she loves them. More happy feet in our family!

i walk in them every single day. they will give me a lot of mileage, i am sure!

Most comfortable running/walking shoe I've ever had.

AMAZING AMAZING COMFORT!!!

comfort and look, although i preferred the previous model of the challenger. Grey and orange. Ah well

Best shoes I've had on in a long time.Mainly use these for hiking and on days whe the grass is wet. Hiking in NC this weekend and they meet all the requirements.

I use my shoes for walking

I use it for work, I am a RN. Just what the MD ordered.

Love these shoes

I bought this shoe to replace a great pair of nikes that I used for the same reason. Travel. This shoe has really fit the bill. First of all I love the colors. The orange and blue just pops. For the fit they are narrow, which works great for my feet but are wider than the Bondi which I had to return because it hurt my feet. The length is true to size. Great arch support with and without custom orthotics. The shoe does everything that I have thrown at it so far. I am curious to try it out on more technical trails but so far light trails, running around town (5k to 15k so far), walking the dogs, and getting in 50k steps in one day of walking around town has been a pure pleasure. They are supportive when needed and cushioned when you need that. I would recommend it as the one shoe for traveling as long as you're not going to a fancy dinner, but hey you do you.

I bought Hoka Challenger 7 GTX about 2 weeks back and it's my best fitting shoes ever. They are comfortable as I am breaking them in. I will try to update the review in few weeks about durability.

Bought the challenger for walking on multiple types of surfaces. It is comfortable on any surface. I will probably stay with the challenger for my next purchase.

Great fit and feel during my run

Rainy weather wear.

I do a great deal of walking and the occasional sprint during the walk. These shoes are the best I have ver worn for this purpose.

I was happy with the cushioning on the Bondi 7...it fit my orthotics great and gave my neuromas a rest for most of the day. I wanted a water resistant shoe and tried a Bondi Unisex but it was too narrow on me. One of the staff at Hoka suggested I try the Challenger 7GTX which is water resistant ...I order men's b/c the ladies are all to narrow anymore. She told me they didn't have as much cushioning but I tried them and I must say, by the time my orthotic is in the shoe it feels great. It doesn't have the same heal height but everything was wonderful. So now I have a rain/snow/sand solution to my Hokas. Thank you to Hoka for hiring sales people who really know their product lines and who I can understand!

Purchased the product for Golf Shoes. They work great!

Great Sneakers special if you work driving, or standing.
