Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 7

I wondered why these shoes didn't seem right wearing out my feet. They're not even the HK brand there's something totally different am I wrong ? GDETY hummm To heavy wears my toes out

I love arahi 6 softness and clifton soft springy cushion feel on foot bottoms but the challenger 7 are hard like concrete. standing in kitchen on ceramic tile my feet feel like no softness or cushion. My back started hurting, i then switched on my arahi 6 shoes and in 30 minutes my back stopped hurting. These challengers were an inch too long so i had to exchange for 6 1/2 wide but they just as hard and make back hurt. Even though these are wide they are not that wide. these shoes are long and narrow even in wide width and i normally wear a medium width. i think someone's sewing machine pattern is wrong for this model. gotta send these things back.

I was on the hunt to find some comfortable shoes to work, walk, and stand for 8 hours a day. I purchased On-Clouds first and they are the most comfortable. Hoka has more styles and colors so I decided to order. They are not as comfortable as on clouds. I even did a half size up. That did not help. Sorry!!!

I have 5 pairs of Hokas in assorted styles. I find them very comfortable and always wear the same size. These ran large and the fit was odd. The quality has declined in comparison to my other Hoka's.

I purchased for my vacation. When i arrived on vacation I attempted to put the shoes on and i could barely get them on. I have purchased no less than 15 different pairs of Hoka shoes from the website if various different models. I have always ordered the same size. This shoes is not a 9.5.

I've worn Hoka's for years this is the first time they were not true to size I would like t return them

I exchanged Clifton's for these shoes hoping for more durability and support for my big toe issue. Shoes were wide enough in the toe box but they were not tall enough in the toe box. Too much pressure on the top of my big toe joint so these were sent back.

A friend recommended these, stating that their plantar fasciitis disappeared practically overnight from wearing these sneakers for one day. I've been wearing these for more than a week and I am in the same pain

For the second time in a few months it shows it's in stock so I purchase them. Then after a week of waiting Hoka cancels my order because it is suddenly on back order. Tried 2 different styles snd it just keeps happening. Love the shoes when I can actually get them.

Not a good fit. Did not like the look on my feet.

I thought lit will relieve my foot pain after prolong standing only to result knee pain

I've had so many friends tell me that this brand is the best--that its saved their knees, hips, etc. I was so excited to give them a try coming off an achilles injury. I've been trail running regularly for a number of months pain free, but these shoes irritated my achilles badly! One short trail run was all it took! I can't risk having the injury flare up again (after 8 months off in PT), so I passed them along to a friend. I was really disappointed!

Not wide enough but runs big when it comes to length.

They're pretty average shoes. At the price point there are better shoes on the market. After getting them I wish i had bought Brooks.

I purchased these shoes because i work in a prison on concrete floors all day for hours and my feet still hurt and i dont know if maybe i got the wrong ones but i dont know how to really feel about them or if it was even worth my money honestly im a little disappointed honestly.....

It felt like my foot was in too deep . The top of the ankle was hitting my ankle bone it was very uncomfortable

The trim around the ankle seemed like my foot was I. The shoe a bit too deep ,

I started pronating immediately my back hurt as well as my arches Didn't even make it out of the house

Returned them. What I REALLY want is my Bondi 7 back! Why discontinue them? I bought 5 pair. Now can't find any black/black in size 9.

Good shoes not worth the price

I think they may have potential. Possibly. I am trying to gradually break them in. These are not as comfortable as the last pair. I was expecting better. I can only wear them for about 2 hours or so before they become excruciatingly painful. They are too tight. I would never buy these shoes again. they do seem to provide good support, but they hurt.

First time buying direct from Hoka. I have had these shoes less than a month and the bottom layer of rubber on the shoes has separated from the shoe. I am returning them. I would have just exchange them but they offer noting for the time and hassle of having to return or exchange them. As a side note I did a previous review when I first got them. The color is more light/ bright purple than the website shows.

I am not to happy with this purchase. I've worn these sneakers 3 times and they hurt so bad. They run big.

I thought I could exchange the shoes at Dick's sporting goods but they said no...so now I have a big pair of shoes that I can't wear
