READ HOKA CHALLENGER 8 REVIEW

The plush cushioning of the Challenger models is legendary, now the Challenger 8 takes it to another level with even more compression moulded EVA foam added to the midsole and an increase to the heel-to-forefoot drop raising it to 8mm from 5mm. Adding to the all-round comfort is an improved fit, a plush collar, durable rubber toe cap and a lightweight breathable mesh upper that keeps your feet cool, however long or tough your run. 

The Challenge 8 is designed to provide protective cushioning while maintaining a responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster.

What’s New?

The Challenger 8 brings a new last design with an improved fit in the forefoot and instep and an increased heel-to-forefoot drop, raised to 8mm from 5mm. Underfoot the traction has been updated with a reorientation of the 4mm multi-directional lugs to help you adapt to any terrain.
