Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7

I had three knee surgeries in 12 months so comfy shoes are a must for me. I use these shoes for officiating and they give me enough support and stability on the field. I feel comfortable cutting and sprinting in these shoes.

This is my 5th pair of Hoka shoes. I work 12.5 hours and I am on my feet for most of that time. I have been so happy with my Hoka purchases in the past because my feet feel great in them even after walking and standing all day. I tried the Challenger shoe because of the color options. I wore them for my long work day and my feet hurt, which is a completely different experience from my other Hoka shoes. While they are stylish, they lack the comfort and support I've come to expect from Hoka.

Great shoes, love them. Great for running/walking on terrain.

Fits a little bit smaller but I can wear for a full 14 hours

I like the maximum cushion, and the shoe has good arch support. Toe box could be a little bigger on top; my last pair my toes popped holes in the uppers after only 5 months.

I use this product for work. as a nurse I'm always on the move. this product gives me comfort and support on my feet.

I need a wide running shoe. This one is not wide. In fact my toes feel numb after a short time. I need a lot of cushioning for the ball of my foot as well. Any suggestion?

Older woman still working and these are the best shoes I can find. I have 6 pair.

I have these in the 5 wide black. It's my first shoe from hoka. I was hoping to invest in a shoe good for hiking trails and those pavement rocky streets. These are perfect and comfortable. I didn't have to break them in which is also important when spending this much on a shoe. I have a regular arch and a wide foot and size 5 fits perfect on my small foot. My only complaint is they do not look like what is shown in the picture. They look better online than in person, the color is off as well. Mine look gray compared to the black. Still a great shoe. Wish they came in a true black or fully white color.

They are very comfortable. I have chronic back issues and have to stand for several hours during work. The sneakers truly supports the back and knees.

I originally fell in love with the design and color. I really wanted to like these shoes, but the overall comfort for me was not good. I love Hoka shoes but this one definitely was not for me.

This shoe was nice, but I over pronate and have planta facilities. It was comfortable but not for me.

Expensive shoes. Cheap quality. Not that comfortable

These tall pull tabs that flare away from the achilles that Hoka have been using are amazing, very accommodating to sensitive tendons and taller orthotic insoles. The plush ankle collar and tongue are very comfortable. The midsole design with high side rails strongly resists outward ankle roll and moderately resists inward ankle roll. Found the midsole compound to be more on the dense side and could use some flex grooves under the forefoot and hollowing out under the heel like the Speedgoat 5 and Mafate Speed 4. Traction and cushion are improved compared to the Challenger 6. Overall a stylish middle of the road shoe, I find myself using it casually around town mostly - still preferring the absolute monster truck feel of the Stinson 6's for long runs on both road and trail.

Instantly comfortable! Sizing felt a bit bigger than other styles I own, but thicker socks solved that issue.

Wish I had gotten different color

The challenger 7 is great. I have the wide version and it's finally wide enough unlike version 6 and also has better cushioning. Great on roads and trails.

Purchased these for my wife who is an avid runner. She loves them. Very comfortable and stylish.

Very tight. I think I need a size up.

It's so very comfortable and 10 hours at work without pain .
