Hoka Challenger ATR 6 GTX

Built to handle the in-between routes that start on sidewalks and end on singletrack, the Hoka Challenger ATR 6 GTX brings the series’ smooth, cushioned ride into wet-weather territory. A waterproof GORE-TEX bootie helps keep feet dry when conditions turn, while the compression-molded EVA midsole and early stage Meta-Rocker geometry keep transitions fluid at easy paces and steady efforts. Underfoot, the distinctive, zoned lug pattern balances grip on dirt and gravel with a more forgiving feel on pavement, making this a dependable pick for year-round road-to-trail running.
