Why We Like The HOKA Challenger ATR 7 GTX Running Shoe
For that one shoe quiver that can take us from pounding pavement to striding singletrack, we look to the HOKA Challenger ATR 7 GTX Running Shoe. The updated tread provides a smoother ride on road yet still bites on trail, while the hardwearing rubber stands strong against daily use. Now with an increased stack height, this pair mutes the shock of our strikes for an ultra-plush ride. Plus, with a breathable membrane shielding our feet from rain, not even surprise showers can disrupt our flow.

Waterproof hiker
Using the challenger 7 GTX to mainly hike the trails with my Aussie pooch. The foot bed is fairly soft so you don't feel every bump in the road, this is a good thing. Most mornings the grass is very wet and I wanted a shoe/sneaker that could stand up to some moisture and so far it has met my needs by keeping my feet dry. I find the size to be a little snug, but a larger size would probably allow too much movement in the shoe. On wet pavement with tree droppings I find the shoe will slip when going up hill, maybe it will grab better as it wears over time. It will grab well on any rubber surface, such as exercise mats. Overall a good looking shoe that is a bit overpriced as compared to others.

Natural feel of each step.
My feet feel good at the end if the day. I seem faster stride by stride. I unintentionally sprayed them with waterholes at work, they're waterproof for sure! No such thing as break'um in (perfect from jump).

Great shoe
Have had many Hoka trail walking/running shoes. These by far are the most comfortable. Feet stay dry when walking in heavy morning dew. Going to order another pair while I can!

Good fit and waterproof
I usually wear a women's size 10, but the women's Challenger GTX were a bit too short and narrow for me. So I ordered the men's size 9 and the fit is perfect. I have worn them for a few weeks now and in a lot of rain and deep wet grass. They have kept my feet dry and the cushion is great.

Very comfortable shoes. Some of the best
These were a bit tight when I first got them. Then I realized my socks were too thick. I tried them with less thick socks and they ate really nice. They fit really well around the ankle and just like a glove.

Great shoes
Pulled these out of the box and they looked so good I thought it would be a good idea to do the Mailbox Peak hike in Washington. Mailbox Peak is a 4,000 vertical hike in just over 2 miles. The sign on the trailhead says the average time round trip for the hike is 8 hours. The trail was relatively dry with some areas of mud, roots, and rocks. The shoes were great in all conditions and the only part of my body that wasn't in pain was my feet when I reached the summit after about 2.5 hours. I can usually fly on the down hike so figured I would be back at the van in an hour. Almost immediately my knees, hips, thighs, and calves were on fire. It was the longest down hike ever. Visions of me having to call my wife on the walkie talkie to have her call SAR kept flashing through my head. I finally made it to the parking lot after about 3 hours of agony and as I write this review 5 days later I struggle to stand up I'm so sore. The one part of my body that didn't hurt and don't hurt today were my feet. I did get some small rocks in my shoes on the way down but the thought of bending over to take my shoes off was far worse than just dealing with the pebbles. Sorry for the long winded review just wanted to give some perspective. I would strongly recommend the shoes.

Too narrow and too short
This was my first pair of Hoka's. The toe box is extremely narrow and the length overall is too short. The sole has the comfort that Hoka'a are known for.

Challenger 7 GTX
I needed a show to umpire slow pitch softball. Shoes have to be all black. I'm a huge fan of Hoka so figured I would give it a try. I'm so glad I did, I'm extremely happy.

Returned them
They did not fit me. They felt too roomy around my foot and unstable. I did not where them outside, just tried them on. I returned them and ordered Speedgoat 5's which I love!
