Men's Running Shoes by Surface

  • Roads & PavementRoads & Pavement

    Road running shoes feature smooth outsoles that are designed for running on paved surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and bike paths.

  • Smooth Trails & FireroadsSmooth Trails & Fireroads

    Designed to handle most trail runs, these shoes prioritize comfort and a smooth ride. These shoes are great for anything from smooth singletrack, park trails, and fireroads making them ideal for those who run from their doorstep on streets before hitting the trail.

  • Rocky & Technical TrailsRocky & Technical Trails

    These shoes are best used for hard, rugged trails such as shale, granite or sandstone where grip on smooth surfaces and underfoot protection are important.

    Designed for use in muddy, soggy conditions, these shoes feature very aggressive outsoles that dig deep into soft ground for exceptional traction.

    These shoes feature technical outsoles designed to grip snowy and icy trails making them ideal for winter trail running.

Cushioning Level

  • Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.
    Learn more about stack heights and how we measure them.

  • Barefoot

    0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.

  • Minimal

    14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.

  • Low

    19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.

  • Medium

    24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.

  • High

    29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.

  • Maximal

    35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.

Stability Level

  • Neutral

    Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have a built-in technology to correct movement.

  • Stable

    Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.


Product Details:

Designed for both road and trail, the HOKA Challenger is a well-cushioned, all-terrain shoe that offers a comfortable ride and reliable grip for runners and hikers alike. In version 8, the Challenger adds slightly more foam underfoot than previous models and uses a familiar CMEVA midsole to deliver the kind of soft, balanced ride HOKA is known for.

The outsole has been reworked with 4 mm lugs in a new multi-directional pattern. Combined with Durabrasion rubber, it offers improved traction on dirt and better durability for pavement. The upper keeps things simple: lightweight engineered mesh made from recycled materials, with a slightly more secure fit. A plush collar adds comfort around the ankle, and a reinforced toe cap provides extra durability and minor protection on uneven paths.

For runners who split time between pavement and trail, the HOKA Challenger 8 remains a solid option. It s not overly specialized in any one area, but that's exactly what makes it so adaptable.

What You'll Love:

  • Hybrid running shoe that delivers protection and comfort on road to trail
  • Increased midsole foam for a softer, more cushioned ride
  • Updated lug pattern improves grip and durability across varied terrain

    How We Measure Our Shoe Specs

    • We measure every shoe in-house to provide accurate and consistent details.

    • Weight

      The weight is based on a Men's size 9 for Men's and Unisex shoes or Women's size 8 for Women's shoes. The weight listed is for a single shoe, including the laces.

    • Heel Stack

      The heel stack refers to how high your heel sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.

    • Forefoot Stack

      Forefoot stack refers to how high the ball of the foot sits above the ground when wearing shoes. Based on Men's size 9 as the standard.

    • Heel-toe Offset

      Heel-toe offset (drop) is the difference in height between the heel stack and the forefoot stack. We use the number given to us by the brand.

    How We Measure Shoe Fit

    • All measurements are based on Medium width.

    • Fit (width) options are Narrow - Snug - Average - Roomy - Wide.

    • Sizing (length) options are Short - True - Long. Note: fit is relative to the "average" running shoe.

    • We partner with SmartLast, a program by Heeluxe, to use advanced shoe-measuring technology, to provide objective measurements for toe box, midfoot, and heel widths as well as overall length.
