HOKA Challenger 8 GTX — Womens

The HOKA Challenger 8 GTX is the all-weather version of HOKA's beloved road-to-trail workhorse — ready for whatever the forecast throws at you. A GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane keeps your feet dry without adding bulk, while a maximally cushioned CMEVA midsole and redesigned multi-directional lugs give you the confidence to move from pavement to gravel to muddy trail without hesitation. If Vancouver weather isn't going to stop you, neither will this shoe.
