When your running route takes you from the road to the trails, the HOKA Challenger 7 GTX will assist in making that adventure a smooth and dry one. Highlighting this shoe is the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology that directly bonds GORE-TEX membrane to the upper to create a lightweight and protective shield against the elements. Thanks to the increased stack height from previous models and the soft CMEVA foam in the midsole, runners will experience a plush landing mile after mile. The strategically placed lugs and the proprietary rubber in the outsole work together to provide excellent traction on singletrack trails and fireroads without sacrificing a smooth ride on paved surfaces. When the weather starts to turn and you're not exactly sure where or how far your run will take you, the Challenger 7 GTX is a do-it-all shoe that is ready for the call. MIDSOLE CMEVA (Compression-Molded EVA) foam midsole provides optimal lightweight cushioning. OUTSOLE Durabrasion Rubber for increased durability and dependability. 4mm Lugs provide reliable traction on. UPPER GORE-TEX Invisible Fit delivers lightweight and flexible protection in inclement weather. Extended Heel Pull for easy entry.
