Hoka Challenger 8 Mens Black / Outer Orbit 5½

Hoka Challenger 8 Women's Trail Running Shoes Built at the intersection of road and trail, the Challenger 8 delivers all the smooth cushioning and confidence-inspiring traction you'll need to tackle a variety of terrain. rPET Engineered Mesh Upper The minimal mesh upper of the Challenger 8 encourages plenty of airflow and is made with recycled rPET to reduce waste. The plush collar provides softness and works with the traditional lacing system for a locked-in feel. The 3D screen-printed rubber toe cap provides durable protection against knocks and scrapes, increasing the overall durability of the shoe. Reflective details finish the upper, providing visibility in low light, allowing you to stay safe and be seen. The upper has been built on a new and improved last from its predecessor, offering an improved fit in the forefoot and instep.CMEVA Midsole The Challenger 8 continues to offer a high cushion-to-weight ratio with a lightweight, compression-moulded EVA midsole that delivers non-stop comfort and a plush underfoot feel; designed to help each stride feel more comfortable than the last. The compression-moulded EVA absorbs impact forces and creates a stable landing so you can run further for longer in comfort and protection, and reduces the risks of injury or discomfort on your joints. The Challenger 8 offers a greater drop than the 7, meaning you get more of that forward momentum. Durable Rubber Outsole The outsole is made from highly durable rubber for great grip and traction you can rely on. It forms a solid bond with the ground beneath and resists damage, so you can fly across varied terrain with confidence. The lug pattern has been updated with 4mm multi-directional lugs biting into the earth, giving you traction where needed.
