Hoka Challenger 8 – Men’s Road-to-Trail Running Shoe

Ready for wherever the trail (or road) takes you, the Hoka Challenger 8 is the ultimate hybrid runner built for adventure. Designed at the sweet spot between pavement and dirt, this gravel-grinding workhorse delivers the smooth, cushioned ride you expect from Hoka — now with even more underfoot foam and an improved fit for better all-day performance.

Whether you're tackling trail runs, urban paths, or anything in between, the Challenger 8 offers versatility you can count on. Its reengineered 100% recycled mesh upper keeps things breathable and light, while the plush collar adds step-in comfort and security. A 3D screen-printed toe cap offers added protection against rocks and debris, and the compression-molded EVA midsole absorbs impact across all terrain.

The redesigned outsole features multi-directional 4mm lugs for enhanced grip and stability across uneven surfaces, while reflective details keep you visible when daylight fades.
