Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7

I bought these trail runners since I spend a lot of time walking on gravelly trails here in Colorado. I used them to do some serious hiking also up in the mountains and they had good traction although hiking boots probably would've done better. But they're so cushy and comfortable. I feel it's important to break in a shoe before giving a review. It felt a little stuff at first but now they're perfect. I've had them for about a month. Just as good as my old Challenger 6

I really am enjoying my new shoes they are very comfortable and lightweight and I can walk in them forever they're so comfortable thank you.

I work in healthcare imaging so I'm constantly on my feet. I'm pleased with the comfort i feel in these shoes and my feet don't hurt at the end of the day.

I have walked up to 20,000 steps a day in these shoes - super comfortable. Sole is fragile - I find it gets banged up easily and makes me wonder how long the shoes will hold up. May have a short shelf life but for now they are very comfortable and I have 2 pair in hopes of alternating/prolonging use. I definitely recommend. Plush without removing stability.

I got these as a backup shoe and it just so happened my other shoes either got destroyed or retired. These have risen to the occasion. I was a couple weeks out from a trail running race and these were my last remaining shoe and I've been thoroughly impressed. Not only are my feet happy and comfortable AND blister-less after the long runs, but they handled race day like a CHAMP. The race was gnarly. We ran through creeks, we ran through mud, we ran through snow, we climbed up rocky peaks. The shoes drained so well after the creek and getting filled with snow, the mud didn't cling on too badly. I never had to deal with squishy water footsteps even after running directly through the creek. They have decent grip and that may be the only area where there was something to be desired, however I'll take the awesome versatility over slightly more grip.

sister recommended these shoes from what she learned working at a pediatrist office (foot doctor, hope I used the right one). Didn't need to break in. Much wider than I expected which is great for foot swelling, possibly could have gone down a size (generally I find 6WW is perfect, 6.5W is my "sister size"). I got a 6.5W and I feel like I could have gone down to a 6W. Unfortunately I will probably still need more arch support because I got these for my work uniform and requires standing all day. Building strength but feet hurt.

These shoes are airy and lightweight on my feet. I walk my dog on a rocky, uneven trail every day and so far these shoes do not disappoint! These are the best trainers I have ever owned and worn!

So comfortable. It's like walking on a cloud. I was gifted a size bigger than I usually wear and it was too big so the sizing is true to size and even better, the exchange process was fast and easy. Would do it again and again.

They are very good and I will be purchasing another pair soon

These are super light weight. Very comfortable. Love that on can wiggle my toes. Great for being on my feet allllll day!

These shoes are really nice. Although I have very wide width and it would be nice if you would also sell extra wide width. I think I could go with an even wider width. Comfortable and cozy

Very comfortable and supportive.

This is my second pair of Hoka shoes. They fit well, are wide enough (very important as I have a wide foot) and offer a lot of cushioning. I have Achilles tendinitis and these shoes do seem to help.

Rommy toe box. Great support. Long enough laces. Padded tongue.

I have lots of foot problems, and this shoe really helped make walking much more comfortable.

Love the shoes.

I purchased these because the Bondi are great but not breathable. This model is, and just as comfortable

Very comfortable, true to size supportive shoes.

Very comfortable and love the color .

these shoes are wonderful - fit wonderfully and feel great on my feet

Helped my knees, hips, feet and back.

This is my 1st pair of Hoka's & I love them. I'm a nurse & my coworkers swear by them so I finally broke down & tried them. Very happy I did. Comfortable, love the fit & colors. It's so worth a try.

I highly recommend this shoe is you're standing all day. However, the shoes are true to size and I went up a half of a size due to friends telling me they run small. They're way too big. I will be ordering more.

I have wide feet with a pesky bone spur and the 7wide was perfect on my first hike.I wanted a good walking she that I can also hike in and this is it.
