Their versatile design allows you to run on tarmac, gravel roads and trails, whilst offering protection against rain, mud and snow. This version features more foam underfoot, an updated fit and a new outsole configuration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"428\" data-end=\"804\">Weather protection is provided by the <strong data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"510\">GORE-TEX Invisible Fit<\/strong> membrane, integrated into the upper to keep your feet dry during runs in challenging weather conditions. The technical mesh is made from <strong data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"660\">100% rPET<\/strong> and features a 3D screen-printed toe cap. Reflective details also enhance visibility when running in low light.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"806\" data-end=\"1191\">The <strong data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"829\">EVA<\/strong> midsole offers protective and balanced cushioning, whilst maintaining sufficient responsiveness as the pace increases. The construction is neutral and utilises a symmetrical cushioning unit, without any additional pronation control technologies. The heel-to-toe drop has been set at <strong data-start=\"1097\" data-end=\"1105\">8 mm<\/strong> and the new shape improves the fit in the forefoot and instep areas.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1478\">The outsole features a <strong data-start=\"1214\" data-end=\"1253\">4 mm multi-directional tread pattern<\/strong>, with a redesigned orientation to increase traction on gravel. The design is intended to maintain a smooth stride on hard surfaces and offer greater confidence when transitioning to gravel, dirt and trails.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1480\" data-end=\"1755\">Weighing <strong data-start=\"1495\" data-end=\"1504\">315 g<\/strong>, the Challenger 8 GORE-TEX focuses primarily on versatility, protection and comfort. It is the ideal solution for those who don\u2019t want to choose between road and trail shoes and are looking for a single waterproof model for training on mixed terrain all year round.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li data-section-id=\"18wixoh\" data-start=\"2494\" data-end=\"2602\"><strong data-start=\"2496\" data-end=\"2522\">GORE-TEX Invisible Fit<\/strong> to tackle rain, puddles, mud and snow whilst keeping your feet protected.<span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"><\/span><\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"kszcal\" data-start=\"2603\" data-end=\"2722\"><strong data-start=\"2605\" data-end=\"2626\">EVA midsole<\/strong> with extra foam underfoot for protective, balanced cushioning.\n<li data-section-id=\"kszcal\" data-start=\"2603\" data-end=\"2722\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1pxih5t\" data-start=\"2723\" data-end=\"2836\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><strong data-start=\"2725\" data-end=\"2781\">315 g, 8 mm heel-to-toe drop and 4 mm multi-directional lugs<\/strong>, redesigned to boost traction on off-road terrain.\n<li data-section-id=\"1pxih5t\" data-start=\"2723\" data-end=\"2836\" data-is-last-node=\"\">\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":482333,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[6466,6469],"product_tag":[3372,6227],"class_list":{"0":"post-482203","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-men-shoes","7":"product_cat-mens-trail-shoes","8":"product_tag-hoka-one-one-en","9":"product_tag-hoka-one-one-men-en","10":"pa_attivita-running-en","11":"pa_attivita-trail-en","12":"pa_attivita-walking","13":"pa_colore-challenger-8-gtx-pebble-grey-boulder-gre","14":"pa_marca-hoka-en","15":"pa_sesso-men","16":"pa_size-42-en","17":"pa_size-43-en","18":"pa_size-44-en","20":"pa_size-45-en","21":"pa_size-46-en","24":"first","25":"instock","26":"taxable","27":"shipping-taxable","28":"purchasable","29":"product-type-variable","30":"wvs-archive-product-wrapper"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
