Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: How do the Men's HOKA Challenger 8 GORE-TEX trail shoes fit, and should I size up?

  A: Most people can order their regular HOKA shoe size, but sizing up a half size is also recommended. If you're between sizes or prefer a little extra room, the half-size-up option can be a good choice.

• Q: Do these trail shoes help keep your feet dry in wet weather?

  A: Yes, they are built with a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane that helps keep feet dry. It is designed to add wet-weather protection without the bulky feel of a traditional bootie construction.

• Q: Are these shoes a good choice for both roads and trails?

  A: Yes, they are designed as road-to-trail shoes for comfort across mixed terrain. Multi-directional 4mm lugs help provide traction on both roads and trails.

• Q: Do they have enough cushioning for long days on your feet?

  A: Yes, they have a comfortable EVA midsole and a high-cushion design. The stack height is 42mm at the heel and 34mm at the forefoot for a plush feel underfoot.

• Q: What kind of traction do the outsoles have?

  A: They have a rubber outsole with multi-directional 4mm lugs for grip on varied surfaces. This lug pattern is designed to feel steady when you move from pavement to dirt and back again.

• Q: What is the upper made of, and does it have any added protection?

  A: The upper is made from 100% rRPET engineered mesh. A 3D screenprinted toe cap adds extra protection up front, and a heel loop makes them easier to pull on and off.
