Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7

I love these shoes!!!! Years in my feet have left me with bad hips, knees and a really bad back! I put my HOKA's on and I feel my whole body go into better alignment. No more pain when walking distances or running up and down stairs. I did have to buy 1/2 size smaller than my usual size.

Feel great! Can walk long time in them and I have arthritis in my feet so quality and comfortable shoes are up most important. I've been buying Hoka for several years. and they're the only shoes I'll buy.

This is the most comfortable and stable trail running shoe. Turns out it is also comfortable for the treadmill and exercise class. And for daily use. I have foot and ankle issues and wide feet and the wide is super comfortable and cushy. So now I have four pairs of the current version after two pairs of an earlier version.

I love these shoes! I have always had a shoe fetish, and this is my latest obsession. Wearing a large size shoe makes it difficult to find my size sometimes. They always seem to have my size available.

Very happy with my purchase. Very comfortable. I am on my feet all day and I haven't had any problems as far my feet hurting. Usually when I buy a pair of gym shoes my right foot would always hurt . But with my HOKA it's a game changer! I will buy these again. Very comfortable.

Had a rod put into my foot (arthritis) to big toe. i needed a show to support and easy getting on. I walked every day and trying to get back out there. My Hoka's are doing the job.

I got some trail running shoes to wear while refereeing!! They are AMAZING!!

Highly recommended to runners or just exercising

These latest version of the Challenger gives the same great cushioning, (but not squishy), traction on trails and hopefully the same wear resistance on the roads. I have been buying the wides for the roomy toe boxes and exchange the insert for a custom made running orthotic. This model might be a bit too big, not sure if I should go a half size down or try the regular width; but I'm getting some slipping in the heel. I have been wearing thin compression socks and for my next trail run will add a slightly thicker compression sleeve to support and stabilize my ankle, that along with a slightly different lacing should lock in the heels. Happy to get a wide in a bright, pretty new color combo! My spouse calls them my clown shoes, but I'm all about comfort.

These are the most comfortable pair of sneakers I have ever owned. My foot is supported and cushioned just enough.

Absolutely LOVE these shoes. Can't believe I have gone this long without them.

This shoe with the textured sole is so compfortable and supporitive.

I thought Hoka's were so ugly the first time I saw them! After wearing them, I will never buy another brand of shoe again. The ability to choose the proper stability for my foot (high arch= neutral stability) is a game changer. My PT told me I was buying shoes for flat feet. How was I supposed to know? Hoka's site actually indicates the stability of each style. High arch= neutral, medium arch = moderate, and flat footed = stable. Hoka's cured my plantar fasciitis. Get a pair!

They are so comfortable and have a large toe box. They've been an answer to my problems with shoes!

I was suffering from Plantar fasciitis, my feet feel no pain at the end of the day.

they are really comfy, also I use them to walk long distances and they have not disappointed me.

Just wore them for the first time today! They were great. My feet were very comfortable on my walk!
