I have had the shoes for over 3 months, using them daily both at work (estate) and on mountain walks. Except for the fact that they "show" dirt immediately and are hard to clean, the shoes are 10/10, without any exaggeration! They definitely don't have as soft a sole as the new model (they don't tire you even after hours of standing), but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Since I have also bought the next model, which has a very soft sole, I personally believe that the Challenger 7 is much better in terms of stability and durability! Also, they are ideal shoes if someone has a high instep. I will definitely buy them again, but this time in black...

It is not exactly as in the photo. They are bulky like all hoka. Compared to north face, they are inferior. They seem like they won't last long over time. Cheap construction. Up to €100 they are fine. Overpriced. The only positive is that they are lightweight.

For the price, I would prefer the Salomon I had before. The ankle is very tight compared to the rest, which is okay. Stiffer sole than the Salomon.

One of the best models from Hoka, with a thick but not too soft sole, with Gore-Tex = waterproofing. They grip in the snow, not of course like spikes. Warm in the summer

Although it is a very comfortable shoe, it is not at all durable. Within the first 3-4 months, it started to develop cracks on the sides, and in less than a year, it completely tore apart. Unfortunately, it is not justified for an expensive shoe, no comparison to the previous model...

a simple shoe, nothing special.. its construction unfortunately, like a large percentage of new shoes, is mediocre, not bad but not the quality you expect for a shoe at this price, which is also the part I didn't like, at this price you expect something much better but unfortunately it's like a simple shoe that Nike released 15 years ago for 60-70€.. I wouldn't buy them again because of their price, otherwise, as I mentioned before, just a simple shoe, nothing special..

It is very tight in the instep, causing discomfort in the metatarsal area, although it has ample space in front of the toes.
I consider my foot to be normal with a length of 26.6 cm and I bought size 42 2/3 = 27cm.
It slips on wet surfaces.
It is generally a hard shoe, but lightweight.
It creates uncertainty in walking.
I expected the insole to be of higher quality considering the price of the shoe. I will change it to see if there is improvement.

UPDATE: in less than 3 months of use (indoors, office), the inner vertical surface in the heel of both shoes has developed holes in the fabric due to unjustifiable and unexplained wear.
I am using the SKROUTZ return option.
I will update on whether it is valid.
UPDATE 2:
The shoes were returned through the return process provided by SKROUTZ and the money was credited to my account.
Reliability!
