HOKA Challenger 8 GTX - Washed Blue/Cement

The most cushioned, waterproof road-to-trail Challenger ever built.

The HOKA Challenger 8 GORE-TEX combines the maximum cushioning and all-terrain traction profile of the Challenger 8 with the reliable waterproofing of GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology — ideal for runners who want dry feet on gravel, wet trails, and short road sections. The GORE-TEX membrane is directly bonded to the upper without adding bulk, preserving fit and breathability.

The CMEVA midsole with a stack height of 42 mm heel / 34 mm forefoot delivers maximum cushioning and a soft, forgiving ride at any pace and distance. J-Frame™ technology provides gentle anti-overpronation support without overcorrecting your gait. The Durabrasion outsole with multi-directional 4 mm lugs in a chevron pattern offers reliable grip on wet, muddy, and mixed terrain.

The 100% rPET engineered mesh upper provides a lightweight, sustainable construction, while the 3D screen-printed rubber toe cap protects against rocks and trail debris. Reflective details and a heel pull tab complete this waterproof all-rounder for training in all weather conditions.
