The CHALLENGER ATR 7 GTX, in its 7th edition, continues the tradition of its predecessor and reinforces its "reputation" for flexibility. As its name suggests, it is ideal for any type of terrain and is called by the road crowd as the Clifton of the mountain, and not without reason, as it has the top features of the "asphalt" Clifton but in a trail version, exciting with its impressively soft tread. Waterproof with GORE-TEX INVISIBLE FIT technology, it's faster and lighter with new soft foam and a new 2mm thicker midsole for superior cushioning. With an updated heel cap that offers better ankle support and a new, improved sole that offers more traction on any kind of trail.
The Engineered Mesh upper has a lightweight feel, is made from at least 30% recycled materials and includes specific reinforcements for trail running.
GTX Invisible Fit: This membrane has pores that are small enough to protect you from rain and snow, but large enough to allow sweat vapor to escape. Ideal features for running on rainy days
The updated heel cap offers great ankle support and ensures easy entry.
The CMEVA midsole has become 2 mm thicker and therefore has more absorption than its predecessor. This makes walking long distances more comfortable.
The updated outsole pattern has 4mm studs that provide good traction when walking on dirt, whether you choose a soft or slightly harder surface. Durability has also been improved as more rubber has been added for endless mileage.
In conclusion, the Hoka Challenger ATR 7 GTX really can handle any surface, so you can train and compete anywhere.
