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

HOKA Challenger 7s HOKA Speedgoat 7s (but still getting some kms out of my 6s as well) Not a fanboy of the brand but every time I’ve gone into a shop to try on different shoes they’ve always been my favourite. 

I’m on my third pair of Hoka Challengers as they’re great for the majority of what I do, with a pair of Speedgoats for harder terrain. They last pretty well too with my most recent ones going for 1,200k before I retired them and I still use them for walking.  (I’m not a Hoka fanboy but whenever I’ve been into a shop to try new shoes, I’ve still always preferred these ones). 

I have a love/hate relationship with Hoka. I've had two amazing pairs of Challengers and a pair of Speedgoats but I've also had a pair of each I've had to ditch because of severe rubbing on my Achilles. Same size and fit as what I've had before so can't find any reason for it. But I've yet to find shoes I like better than those models.

I’ve had three pairs of Challengers; first two were great but the third really rubbed on my Achilles. Maybe just unlucky as I will probably get another pair at some point as the other pairs were so good. 

I have Speedgoats and like them but depending on how technical/difficult a more hybrid shoe like the Hoka Challenger might be a better one.  If you can, definitely get to a shop and try some out as you never know what will be right for you. 

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.
