HOKA Challenger ATR 7 Wide W

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 the center and larger, more aggressive lugs at the perimeter designed for improved traction on uneven terrain.

  • Explanation: Some shoes have extra built-in support designed for overpronators; others are minimally prescriptive, designed to provide cushion then stay out of your way 
    • The Challenger 7 features a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies. Designed to provide the support you want and nothing you don't.
• Cushion: Balanced
  • Explanation: All of Hoka's shoes contain cushion in the midsole, which is designed to lessen impact and provide support. How much cushion, and how firm or soft that cushion is, varies between models. 
    • The Challenger 7 is designed to provide protective cushion while maintaining a responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster.
