HOKA - Challenger 8 - Trail running shoes

Road or trail? The Challenger 8 can do both.

Do you want to decide spontaneously where you run - and need a pair of shoes that can keep up? The Challenger 8 from HOKA are built for exactly that. Whether tarmac, gravel or forest floor, their improved cushioning and revised lug tread ensure comfort and grip on any surface.

Strong functionality. Optimal fit.

These running shoes feature a compression-moulded EVA midsole that absorbs hard impacts and supports your stride - even over long distances. Thanks to their new insole shape, the shoes now sit even better in the forefoot and instep area. Plus, the multi-directional 4 mm lugs give you the confidence to tread safely even on loose surfaces.

In addition, the breathable mesh upper made from 100% recycled polyester saves weight and lets your feet breathe. A 3D-printed toe cap provides reliable protection from roots and stones, while reflective details increase your visibility. Last but not least, the soft entry ensures that you'll want to slip them on at any time.

Whether gravel or tarmac - these shoes will take you anywhere.
