Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7

Comfortable and supportive, great for lots of walking. Worn to Disney and were more comfortable than other sneakers worn on previous trips.

All I buy is hoka's. I have many pairs. I decided to try this style for the first time. I'm a bit disappointed how my foot slips out when I walk. It's not fitting l as well as all my other hokas

The shoe is plenty comfortable, however I don't like how it looks on my foot.

Wore these shoes around the house and for running errands for a week and decided not to keep them. The toe box is very narrow and the heel drop is a bit higher than expected, so it was not having a good effect on my alignment. They seem to be very well made, sturdy, great quality materials. Just not right for my feet.

Wonderfully lightweight. My only complaint is it needs more softness in the ball of the foot area.

I just started getting into trail running and I bought these shoes (and my first Hokas) for the task. The quality feels good and I'm happy with the shoes themselves. My only problem is I feel like these give me knee pain? I don't have this problem with my NB runners. So as much as I would love to love these shoes, I wish they didn't kill my knees as much. Will I still wear these? Yes. I am a deranged 20 year old with dreams. However, not a big lover of the pain.

Comfortable shoe, I either need an half size larger or a wider toe box. My right big toe rubs at the side and the top. My normal size is an 8, but these as somewhat narrower. Love the shoe's thickness. What is your suggestion, a larger size or should I order a wider shoe?

Shoes are a lot lighter green in person. I was expecting the color on the website and was disappointed. They are my first Hokas and they are cushiony and lightweight but seem just as good as my Brooks. They are also big so maybe size down from your usual.

Bought these for building my trail mileage for an upcoming fall marathon. Went full send and wore them on a 16 mile run for my first miles in them and was pleasantly surprised to be moderately comfortable. However, in the following days during my shorter runs, I developed really sharp pain in my left arch while running or even just walking around. This has happened to me in the Speed Goats, so I'm lead to believe this might be a common thing for me with Hokas? Luckily I had some currex insoles to throw in, and that felt a lot better on my most recent run. Hopefully that's a permanent fix.... Otherwise, I've enjoyed the shoes! They don't feel super stable on my local trails (some rocky sections), but it's fine if I stay alert.

I bought these shoes for work where I do a lot of standing. Nice color - I bought the green spruce. Not as cushy as the Clifton. I have bunions but the regular width works fine.

Love Hokas but sometimes there to narrow, honestly wide is the way to go

I received them in the mail on the 11th (it is now the 15th) and have done some running and walking in them every day since I got them. The underside midsole (grey area on underside of 'mist green/trellis color) is getting wrinkled/cracked already and somewhat compressed, and they were silent initially and now make an odd little squidgy noise. These would probably be fine for wearing to run errands but they seem to be getting utterly traumatized by my wearing them for trail running/walking and light urban walking/running.
