Hoka Women's Challenger 8 (Med)

The Hoka Challenger 8 is a highly versatile trail running shoe designed for runners who navigate both road and trail terrains. Featuring an updated design with increased foam cushioning underfoot and an improved fit in the forefoot and instep, the Challenger 8 delivers a smooth, plush ride with responsive toe-off. Its lightweight 100% rPET engineered mesh upper offers breathability and durability, complemented by a 3D screen-printed toe cap for abrasion resistance.

The shoe’s outsole features reimagined multi-directional 4mm lugs that provide confident traction on gravel, dirt, and pavement, making it ideal for mixed-surface runs. Equipped with Hoka’s J-Frame™ technology, it offers moderate stability to prevent overpronation while supporting neutral gaits. With a 42mm heel stack height and an 8mm drop, the Challenger 8 cushions impact and relieves pressure on the heel and Achilles tendon, perfect for long training sessions and varied terrain.
