Run better, faster, and longer with the Hoka Challenger 7 Trail Running Shoes. Reinvented to be lighter than ever, they feature a plush, compression-molded EVA foam midsole, which offers enhanced comfort and ensures impacts are more forgiving on your feet. They are designed with extended heel pull means they’re much easier to pull on and get going in seconds. With gravel tires serving as Hoka’s inspiration, the lugs are smaller and more tightly spaced in the centre, and more aggressive on the outer rim to provide unparalleled traction and grip on uneven or slippery terrain. They are crafted with Durabrasion rubber outsoles which are hardy enough to withstand bumps and scrapes along rocky or uneven ground. Street-approved. Trail tested. Built at the intersection of road and trail, the new Challenger 7 has been completely reimagined from the ground up. Combining a simplified mesh upper with a soft new foam, we've 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, we've cued up smaller, tightly spaced lugs in center and larger, more aggressive lugs at the perimeter designed for improved traction on uneven terrain.
