Please note that this women's style has updated sizing. We recommend going down half a size from your usual HOKA size. For instance, if you typically wear a 5.5UK in Clifton or Bondi, try a 5UK now. If you're new to HOKA, stick with your usual size. Happy running!

WHAT'S NEW
You’ll find a new last with increased drop and improved fit in the forefoot and instep. We’ve also amplified the traction with an updated lug design.
The Challenger 8 contains our J-Frame(TM) technology designed to prevent excessive inward roll, or overpronation, without overcorrecting your gait.
The Challenger 8 contains features that make the shoe inherently stable, such as a wide base and our Active Foot Frame, for a moderate amount of stability that is still designed to work for neutral gaits.
The Challenger 8 features a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies. Designed to provide the support you want and nothing you don't.
Challenger 8
The Challenger 8 features a low-profile cushion bed that keeps your foot closer to the ground, and utilizes a firmer material designed to provide an efficient push-off.
The Challenger 8 is designed to provide protective cushion while maintaining a responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster.
The Challenger 8 features a higher bed of soft cushion, designed to provide a forgiving impact and ride.
