The Men's Challenger 8 shoes are designed for both road and light mountain trails, providing cushioned comfort and dependable traction for runners and hikers alike. The latest version adds more foam beneath the foot using familiar CMEVA to deliver HOKA's signature soft and balanced feel. The redesigned outsole features 4 mm multi-directional lugs combined with durable Durabrasion rubber for improved grip and asphalt durability. The upper simplifies design with lightweight recycled mesh and a secure fit, while soft padding around the ankle and reinforced toe guards offer extra comfort and protection on uneven trails.
