Challenger 7 GTX Trail

From HOKA

Hoka W Challenger ATR 7 GTX | Black/Black | Trail

Designed for a mix of road and trail, the Challenger 7 GTX has been overhauled with plusher foams and a grippy rubber outsole inspired by gravel tires. Delivering inherent cushioning with adaptable tread, there's no telling where your next run will take you.

Surrounding the upper of the Challenger 7 GTX is an extremely breathable mesh, which will work to keep you feeling ventilated and comfortable no matter what. Reimagined with recycled content, the updated engineered mesh upper of this new iteration offers more improved breathability whilst remaining lightweight. Air that builds up within that is warm will be able to escape out, where it is then replaced by cooler air from outside the shoes. This will work constantly for effective ventilation. This lightweight upper allows you to improve your times, as well as gives you complete freedom. A comfortable heel cap fits snugly around your heel, providing a soft feel with a close fit. The secure lacing will allow you to secure the fit of the shoes for a personalised fit. The tongue is flat-lying, which will sit comfortably on the ankle, preventing it from causing any irritation by rubbing and chafing. An extended heel pull offers easy entry.

The Challenger 7 GTX continues to offer a high cushion-to-weight ratio with a lightweight, compression moulded EVA midsole that delivers non-stop comfort and plush underfoot feel; designed to help each stride feel more comfortable than the last the compression moulded EVA absorbs impact forces and creates a stable landing so you can you run further for longer in comfort and protection ensuring the wear and tear placed on your joints are kept to a minimum. Although lighter than the last iteration, the Challenger 7 GTX features an increased stack height to offer even more added cushion.
