Customer Reviews Hoka Challenger 8

Shoe fits well but it is stiff, moderate cushioning.

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.

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.

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.

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.

These shows are amazing!
