Description

The Hoka Challenger 8 is a true door-to-trail shoe — max-cushioned comfort built for runners who move between road, gravel and light trail without missing a beat.

  • Full-length CMEVA midsole for soft, durable, high-cushion comfort
  • Roomier, more accommodating fit through the toebox than previous versions
  • Redesigned outsole with smaller, more aggressive lugs for reliable grip on mixed terrain
  • Generous 40.2mm heel / 30.1mm forefoot stack for plenty of protection over long miles

Equally happy on the road, the gravel path, or the odd casual outing — one shoe for wherever your run takes you.
