Men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 Wide maple/cardamon (1168718-MPLC)

Men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 Wide were designed with training and competitions on varied terrain in mind, both on hard surfaces and trail paths. The model combines features of urban and trail shoes, providing stability on difficult terrain and smooth foot rollover on asphalt. The construction based on a new last shape supports anatomical fit in the forefoot and instep area. The widened upper in the wide variant increases comfort for people with wider feet.

Advanced upper made from recycled material

The men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 Wide feature a breathable upper made of technical mesh entirely from recycled rRPET polyester. The optimized mesh construction allows effective air exchange during intense physical effort. Additionally, reflective elements increase visibility after dark, and a durable toe reinforcement in the form of a 3D printed overlay minimizes the risk of mechanical damage in the field.

EVA foam-based cushioning

The men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 Wide have a midsole made of compression-molded foam, which effectively dampens vibrations and provides a springy rebound with every kilometer. The increased amount of foam under the foot translates into higher running comfort over longer distances and better joint protection. The new platform shape improves ground contact stability and supports the natural foot movement.

Specialized outsole for every surface

The men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 Wide are designed for runners covering diverse surfaces, which is why they are equipped with an outsole featuring 4-millimeter multidirectional lugs. The changed tread geometry increases grip on both dry and wet surfaces. The lug layout has been optimized for smooth foot rollover and precise rebound, enhancing safety during off-road use.

Eco-friendly solutions and refined construction

The men's running shoes HOKA Challenger 8 Wide also stand out for their environmental aspect – the upper is made entirely from recycled material. The refined profile with increased drop and widened forefoot construction guarantee better fit and greater stability during dynamic running. The soft collar around the ankle increases comfort during prolonged use.
