These are very comfortable shoes but are a little too wide for my foot.

I really like the look of these since they’re much slimmer and less bulky than my Bondi 8s, but ultimately the toe box was too cramped for comfort and the ankle wasn’t high enough for the support I needed. Still a great shoe!

Not as much 'cush' as the Bondi and the foot bed slightly smaller as well.

I love the Challenger ATRs I had 5, 6 and now the 7's. (The 6's were my least favorite but I still wear them). I loved the 5's. They for great, no toe issues. I want to love the 7's. They are good, but not great. The toe box is narrow. I don't have a big foot. I have a skinny, narrow foot, size 6. COME ON HOKA, widen the toe box back up some. I love these shoes, I've been loyal because they are great, but I might have to go on a search for a different pair. I can't take the lack of room up there. I don't want to go up a size because I don't want to trip on the extra.

The description says this new model has a new soft foam and plusher feel. I found it to be very stiff, much stiffer than the Clifton 9. I guess the "softness" is relative to what the previous Challenger felt like.

Needed a good walking shoe for my vacation. These are great. Fashionable, comfortable and for the amount of walking I did my feet didn't sore (due to falling arches) and no lower back pain. These shoes were/are a great investment.

I love the shoes. The first time I wore them they felt great the second time and third time my heal was in excruciating pain. I'm not sure what's wrong. I might have to send them back..

I love the look and feel of them except this particular pair, my socks slide off my feet into the shoe which never happened with my first pair. But I will continue to buy Hoka products!

Fit, size and style spot on! I bought another HOKA, the Clifton and felt it was better suited for my needs. The Challenger 7 is lighter, which seems about right for trail running. A good looking shoe!

I love the color of the shoe and is overall comfortable. I have a pretty narrow foot and the shoe is pretty tight at the top. The tongue is connected to the shoe which I am not a fan of because I like a looser fit.

The upper part has cool beautiful gray but the bottom has strong warm sky blue. The warm and cool don't go together too well. Either the temperature or the saturation should be adjusted to complement each other better.

A little narrow overall. Had to loosen the laces after wearing them in the house for a couple hours, as the top of my foot started to hurt, so I opted for the Stinsons since they had a wider toe-box. Tempting, though!

I'm pleased with the shoe and size the bottom tread grabs the road.

So I have tried every shoe possible to help deal with standing for hours working in the ER but so far haven't found the perfect one yet. I purchased these because most of the people at work wear them and all have good things to say. I have worn them for 2 weeks now and can't quite say I'm sold yet or not. I don't have pain during working but after I take them off I start to feel the discomfort. So I will continue to use and hope it gets better.

I got this as my first Hokas based on looks and trying some at the store. They're incredibly comfortable and cushiony and support the ankle a bit higher than most sneakers. Use these for hiking in the desert and walking. So far so good!

I've had a few pairs of Challengers and my only complaint is the new design for the heel. I always felt the shoe laced securely around my heel now it feels like there's play in the heel with the new design. Very light weight! I'll still keep them but hope they go back to the older version

I’ve owned several pairs of Hokas and have liked them all. This particular pair felt narrower in the toe box as compared to other pairs I’ve owned. I do experience some numbness because of the slight compression so they’re not my favorite Hokas

At first I thought they were too busy, with all the colors. But after wearing them to work out in, they are super comfortable.

Love my new Hokas! Love these colors and I don't think I've ever had a running shoe that is more comfortable. I also REALLY appreciate that Hoka has larger womens sizes. Many other companies don't. The heel part of the sole is stylistically big. This isn't a big deal for runners, but I wore them to the gym one day, and they are too puffy to fit well in the rower. My foot actually slipped out. So if you are using these for multi-purpose, that might be helpful. But these are awesome running shoes and my feet are really happy.

Really wanted to totally love these shoes, wore them all last summer so they are comfortable. Ordered these because I LOVE my older pair of trail runners (and still wear them a lot) but that style was no longer available. Biggest complaint for me with these is that the footprint is much larger than the old style, and feel slightly “clunky” to me, but as I said before I did wear them all summer and will bring them back out again for spring & summer…do love the green color.
