Challenger 7 GTX

obviously try the shoes first but here's what I like. I have the Hoka transport gtx. They're good, very comfy but for some reason they start squeaking after I walk in them for a whole day. It's super annoying. I also own two pairs of Hoka challenger 7 gtx and I swear by them. The most comfy shoe I've ever worn. I've run marathons in them, I've run trail in them they are perfect for everything. Love em.

I also returned a pair of SG6. Mine were the GTX Mid version. They are just too stiff and narrow. I needed a waterproof shoe for running in the rain and also trails. I went with the Hoka Challenger 7 GTX and couldn’t be happier.

I second the Hokas. I have the GTX 7s and they are comfortable and keep my feet dry.

Not for me as of yet. I have played 20 rounds in them and plenty of field work and puttting

I wore hoka challengers v7 for 3 of my non technical 100’s last year. One I didn’t I wore a combo of roadfly max and trail fly max and my extensor tendons really suffered for a long time after.

I would recommend you to use the shoes you ran with it the most. You have a lot of mileage in the speedgoat? Use the speedgoat, even on road. If you really want a road shoe and you have a lot of mileage in speedgoat, go try some Hoka. But if it's a loop, don't forget to bring the speedgoat/favorite shoes. The speedgoat 6 have a 5mm drop, don't start to play with drop atm, use a 4 to 6mm drop if your body is used to that. The Hoka Challenger 7 is a road/trail shoes with a 5mm drop like the speedgoat.

I'd suggest looking at the Hoka Challenger ATR 7s. Good crossover shoe, leaning a little more to trail, but still good on pavement. Looks like the 7s are at the end of their life - I'm seeing them for good discounts at the moment, so expect the 8s soon. A friend just got a pair for 40% off here in Aus.

When I say the 7 fit my foot perfectly it was like an absolute dream. But like I said I’d hit like 300 miles and that was it. It’s like it deflated. I’m 220lbs, so I’m not exactly light on my feet. So that’s probably part of it.

The Hoka challenger is a shoe that fits me like a glove. Like it was custom made just for me. I’ve had six pairs of them over the years but they break down between 3-350 miles every time and I can’t be buying new shoes every 10-12 weeks. I tried the speetgoats, which are much more durable, but the fit isn’t the same. The challengers….a near perfect shoe.
