Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 8

With the changes to the Clifton 10, I decided to go back to the Challenger 8. Hoka has not changed the shape and width of this shoe and it is as comfortable as ever. Not exactly the Clifton 9 but I will take it. I wish Hoka would stop changing their shoes so drastically. I have been a Hoka wearer for years and now cannot wear most of their new models due to the changes.

The Challenger 8 wide is wider than the Challenger 7 wide which I love. However, the midsole is much softer and squishier like a marshmallow, so I returned the shoe. I don't like soft midsoles and I don't feel they are safe on trails with uneven surfaces.

Love the Hoka brand and these shoes, purchased for hiking, were comfortable the first time I wore them.

Great shoes for rucking. Cushiony feeling but good grip for hiking.

Just like all my other Hokas fits very well and very comfortable during my 5 mile walks daily. You will not be disappointed. Love my Hokas.

Those shoes fit me good, I will just have to break them in a little. With so many variations in athletic shoe sizing I have a problem in finding the correct size when buying them over the internet. But these shoes should work for me Ok.

Big Hoka fan and find most styles comfortable with the Challenger model a standout.

I find the challenger model the most comfortable but don't overlook other Hoka models that will have excellent fit and comfort.

good and great

This is my first time using Hoka and the experience is great, confort, support and the look…in general are excellent sneakers.

As described

Awesome comfortable shoe.

OK, I admit I tried several brands trying to save a few bucks. I finally broke down and went with the Hoka and they fit and feel great. I do not trail run so these are my everyday shoe and I have no complaints.

Fit as expected. Very comfortable running shoe.

These shows are amazing!
