The Hoka Challenger ATR 7 is an all-round trail shoe for the neutral runner. It is the seventh edition of Hoka's All Terrain series. These versatile shoes are designed for running on different surfaces, from asphalt to trails, and offer protection from various weather conditions.
This shoe has become lighter while the thickness of the sole has increased. Additionally, the upper part is made with more recycled materials, yet maintains breathability. The lug profile has a new design to provide traction on unpaved trails, but also comfort when walking on asphalt.
The Engineered Mesh upper has a lightweight feel, is made from at least 30% recycled materials, and includes special reinforcements for trail running. The updated heel cover offers great ankle support and ensures easy entry. The CMEVA midsole has become 2 mm thicker and therefore has more cushioning than its predecessor. This makes walking long distances more comfortable. The Challenger ATR 7 is therefore suitable for long-distance trail running, such as half marathons and full marathons.
The updated outsole pattern has 4 mm lugs that provide good traction when walking on dirt, whether you choose a soft or somewhat harder surface. Durability has also been improved, as more rubber has been added for endless miles. The Hoka Challenger ATR 7 can really handle any surface, so you can train and compete anywhere.
