A lot of running shoes are designed exclusively for road runs or trail runs. The strength of the HOKA Men's Challenger 8 GTX Running Shoes is that they are designed for both.
If you want to run on mixed surfaces and keep your feet dry, there's few better options than the Challenger 8 GTX Running Shoes.
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
