Hoka Challenger 6 GTX

The Hoka Challenger 6 GTX is a true road-to-trail crossover built for wet-weather running when your route is unpredictable. A waterproof GORE-TEX bootie helps keep moisture out, while the cushioned EVA midsole delivers Hoka’s signature comfort for long miles on pavement, gravel, and hard-packed dirt. With its smooth, early-stage rocker and a lugged outsole tuned for mixed terrain, the Challenger 6 GTX feels equally at home cruising easy miles, exploring park paths, or heading out for everyday trail runs in rainy, slushy conditions.
