Hoka Men's Challenger 8 GTX

US sizing

The Challenger’s previous nickname “ATR” stands for All Terrain – and these really are incredibly versatile shoes. As is typical for Hoka, the Challenger also features generous cushioning. On the brand’s own cushioning scale, this model is rated as medium. The Challenger performs well on almost any surface, including hard ground. It’s a shoe that nearly every runner can make use of!

The Challenger is also easy to recommend for walking and light hiking in relatively easy terrain.
