Product details

The HOKA Challenger 8 men's running shoe in green, size 44 2/3, is a versatile trail running option for mixed terrain. This model features the signature HOKA cushioning technology with a balanced midsole for responsive energy transfer and good ground contact on technical trails. The outsole has multidirectional lugs with a depth of 4 mm for reliable grip on wet and dry surfaces such as dirt, gravel, and light mud. The upper is made of technical mesh with strategic reinforcement zones for breathability and durability, complemented by an integrated tongue to protect against dirt. The shoe includes a molded EVA insole for added comfort and a heel tab for easy on and off. With a stack height of 32 mm at the heel and 28 mm in the forefoot, the Challenger 8 maintains a 4 mm drop that promotes a natural running style. The weight is approximately 295 g per shoe in size 44 2/3, making it suitable for longer trail runs where weight management is important. The color scheme features green tones with contrasting accents for good visibility on trails. This successor model to previous Challenger versions has refined outsole patterns and updated upper materials. The Challenger 8 is designed for runners seeking a high-performance trail shoe that performs well on road sections with mixed surfaces. It offers consistent performance under various conditions without specialized technical features for extreme terrain. The shoe fits standard running socks and corresponds to the typical sizing of sports footwear.
