Women's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 skyward blue/cielo blue (1168717-SKYW)

HOKA Challenger 8 Women's Running Shoes are designed for female runners looking for versatile footwear that performs well both on asphalt and off-road. This model allows comfortable transitions between different surfaces without the need to change shoes. Thanks to optimized cushioning and precisely selected components, it provides stability, comfort, and adequate protection during daily training or longer trail adventures.

Stable cushioning on every surface

The midsole of the HOKA Challenger 8 women's running shoes is made of lightweight CMEVA foam, ensuring optimal cushioning and low shoe weight. The increased foam volume compared to the previous generation improves comfort during prolonged ground contact. Its construction supports natural foot rollover and offers flexibility on both paved roads and trail paths, providing stability in varied conditions.

Multidirectional grip and durable outsole

The HOKA Challenger 8 women's running shoes feature an outsole made of Durabrasion Rubber, which translates into longer durability with intensive use. The 4-millimeter lugs arranged multidirectionally ensure reliable traction on varied terrain, allowing safe navigation over slippery rocks and hardened paths alike. The new tread pattern improves stability and rebound efficiency during faster paces.

Breathable upper made from recycled material

The upper of the HOKA Challenger 8 women's running shoes is made of lightweight and technical engineered mesh, produced from recycled materials. Its open structure enables effective air circulation, supporting natural thermoregulation and reducing the risk of overheating feet. The improved cut enhances the shoe’s fit to the foot and minimizes slipping during running, while the softly padded collar around the ankle increases comfort during longer training sessions.

Reinforced toe and additional support

The HOKA Challenger 8 women's running shoes have a reinforced front part of the upper, which enhances durability and protects toes in tougher terrain. The hard guard allows overcoming uneven surfaces without the risk of material damage or injury. The construction supports daily use during training in mixed conditions, increasing the model’s functionality in diverse trail situations.
