REI is having a clear out of past-season styles, and there's great news for trail runners. Right now, you can pick up the highly-rated Hoka Challenger 7 trail running shoes for just $100.93 at REI. That's a massive saving of 40% off the list price for these trail shoes, which receive an average of 4.5 stars from Hoka customers.

Built for light trails, the 7s delivered a major revamp on the Challenger 6, with the addition of a simplified mesh upper and a softer foam midsole to keep your feet from fatiguing on long days.

The stack height increased for a plusher feel, but one runner says the shoes still offer a great balance between cushion and responsiveness. As for the outsole, Hoka took its cues from a rubber tire and added smaller, tightly spaced lugs in the center and larger, more aggressive lugs at the perimeter so you can roll along rough trails.
