Description
Street-approved. Trail tested. Built at the intersection of road and trail, the Challenger 7 has been completely reimagined from the ground up. Combining a simplified mesh upper with a soft new foam, Hoka increased the stack height for a plusher feel and added proprietary rubber to the bottom unit, along with a reimagined outsole design for the best all-terrain ride yet. Inspired by gravel tires, they’ve cued up smaller, tightly spaced lugs in center and larger, more aggressive lugs at the perimeter designed for improved traction on uneven terrain.

Love this shoe.
I love this shoe. It's got comfort and support. I wear it 7 days a week. I have narrow heals and it fits well. I have to go down a half size on hokas in comparison to oboz.

Hoka ruined an incredible design
As someone with wide feet and orthopedic issues (i had a sesamoid removed in 2015), I have to be careful about the shoes I choose. HOKA faithfully served me for 6 years, and they have now narrowed a bunch of their designs so much that they caused nerve pain on the outside of my foot. I am assumin...

Perfect for Sedona Trails
I wore these on easy to moderate trails while hiking in Sedona and they were awesome!
I would buy this product again
I was completely unsatisfied with the first pair of shoes I bought. HOKA gave me a full refund and my second pair of a different style are great!
I would buy this product again and again!!
I work in an elementary school so I'm on my feet all day long. I have horrible foot pain. These shoes have helped me so much!
The size of the jacket fits very well the packaging excellen
I love these shoes. Perfect for my feet legs and not hurting Anymore.. I work in the nursing field. Always walking excellent shoes.
Not too sure about the gray…
I have bought this same shoe in 2 different colors and loved them both!! This particular pair/color, i had to exchange them twice!! The mens regular shoe is what i normally buy, and this pair was so tight and narrow. I then exchanged it for the same shoe and color in a wide width and that was toooo big. I ended up purchasing a black pair regular mens, hoping they haven't changed the shoe.
Awesome Shoe
I wear them mainly for work as A Nurse on my feet 12 hour shifts & this Shoe is so Wonderful & Very Comfortable!!
Love my Hokas
I love my Hokas. They are the most comfortable running / walking / hiking shoes I have ever owned. The customer service is excellent.
Bought another pair
I must say this is one of the best pair of shoes I have owned. I mostly wear them to work. i am in healthcare and on my feet all day running around. These shoes are more than I knew I needed. I move so swiftly in these. Wear and tear minimal. Stability great. Comfort there. Structure makes sense. I can't get enough of them. I have been wearing the same shoes for almost 2 years and quality is still good. I even accidentally ordered a longer size on accident and with the extra room it did not ruin the quality. I kept the size bc it was a 9W instead of an 8.5W. So not significantly longer. I ordered a 8.5W and they fit perfectly and I can't wait to wear them at work
