Hoka shoes are popular for a reason: They’re super comfortable. Their well-cushioned midsoles make every step feel like you’re walking on cushions, whether you opt for the brand’s durable hiking boots, trail running shoes, or walking shoes. If you’ve been meaning to add a pair to your closet, you’re in luck: Dick’s is offering a secret discount on the highly rated Hoka Challenger 7 , and they’re perfect for all terrain.
The Hoka Challenger 7 Running Shoe is currently on sale for $109 at Dick's Sporting Goods, 25% off its regular price of $145. This versatile running shoe has earned a 4.3-star rating from more than 400 shoppers, who called it a “versatile crossover” that can be worn for everything from hiking to walking the dog, and it features Hoka's signature soft midsole design for a comfortable ride. There's one color on sale right now — Blue/Yellow — and it's still available in sizes 8.5 to 14, but they're selling out fast.

Hoka designed the Challenger 7 to perform on all types of surfaces—dirt, gravel, grass, or pavement—and it’s a great choice if you need a versatile, go-anywhere sneaker. The Challenger features a compression-molded EVA midsole for reliable shock absorption and is topped with a mesh upper designed for good breathability and a snug fit. Underneath, the sturdy rubber outsole can withstand plenty of wear, and its 4mm lugs hit the sweet spot for grip: They’re big enough to bite into the dirt, but not so big that they feel awkward on city streets and sidewalks.
Reviews are raving about the Challenger 7, with many shoppers commenting on the shoe’s great feel. “The comfort of these shoes is incredible,” one shopper said. “I can walk and stand longer now, and it’s taken almost all my pain away.” Another shopper agreed, saying it’s “incredibly comfortable.”

Other shoppers commented on their versatile sole construction, which makes running easy. “I wear these on dirt roads and asphalt and love them,” one shopper said. “I also wear them when I run in the park with my kids. They’re sleeker than the Cliftons I have, but they still fit well. Great Hoka product as always!”
Hoka shoes set the standard for comfort in running, and the Challenger 7 is one of the brand’s most popular models. You can snag these shoes for just $109, but add them to your cart now because they sell out fast and certain sizes are already sold out.
