Men's Challenger 8 Running Shoes

The Hoka Challenger 8 is built for runners who don’t want to think twice about where the route goes next. It blends a smooth, cushioned feel with traction you can trust across mixed surfaces, from road miles to gravel paths to light trail.

Compared to the last version, Hoka added more foam underfoot and updated the fit with a new last that increases the drop and improves the feel through the forefoot and instep. A minimal engineered mesh upper keeps it streamlined, while a plush collar, durable rubber toe cap, and reworked multi-directional lug orientation round out a shoe that’s ready for everyday training—especially the kind that starts at your door and wanders off-course.
