The HOKA Challenger 7 All Terrain GTX Womens Shoes offer a fresh take on a trusted hybrid trail shoe family, seamlessly transitioning from road to trail. Weighing just 198 grams (size 8 USW), they are lighter than their predecessor, making them ideal for striving towards your running goals. Crafted from a high content of recycled materials, the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology ensures eco-conscious weather protection, keeping your feet dry so rain clouds don’t have to put a pause on your adventure. It’s bonded to the lightweight mesh upper which is more minimalist compared to the previous generation while remaining trail-ready. Upgraded with a softer feel that’s achieved through an increased stack height and plush CMEVA foam for a cushioned midsole, this ride helps transform hard foot strikes into protected, forgiving landings. A low, 5mm heel-to-toe drop creates a balanced feel without compromising protection. The Durabrasion rubber outsole takes inspiration from gravel tires, with a configuration that offers more densely packed lugs at the middle, and more prominent, aggressive lugs on the edges for biting into rough terrain. This strategic lug pattern offers all-terrain versatility, allowing you to flow between pavement and trail naturally.
