Street approved. Trail tested.

Built at the intersection of road and trail, the Hoka Challenger 8 delivers all the smooth cushioning and confidence-inspiring traction youll need to tackle a variety of terrain. A gravel-grinding workhorse loved for its hyper cushy ride, Hoka have added even more foam underfoot and improved the fit since their last iteration. Finished with a minimal mesh upper, plush collar, and durable rubber toe cap, they've reimagined the orientation of their multi-directional lugs to ensure the best all-terrain ride yet.

WHAT'S NEW

Compared with the Challenger 7, youll find a new last with increased drop and improved fit in the forefoot and instep. Hoka have also amplified the traction with an updated lug design.

• Extended heel pull, designed for easy entry
• Engineered mesh upper delivers breathable comfort
• Compression molded EVA foam midsole provides a plush ride
• Durabrasion rubber outsole adapts to any terrain
• Multi-directional 4mm lugs provide ultimate traction

The plush feel underfoot is achieved without a significant weight penalty, shoes man.
