HOKA Challenger ATR 5 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoe

The perfect trail shoe to take you from your first step out the front door to the top of the mountain and back in complete comfort. The highly cushioned HOKA Challenger ATR 5 Trail Running Shoe is designed to boost your performance whilst offering maximum comfort for everyday training on the roads or trails.

GORE-TEX Upper

To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, a GORE-TEX membrane resides inside the shoe; supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside; keeping sweat to a minimum and you, cool and comfy. Dual-layer mesh has been used in the construction of the upper to provide exceptional breathability, durability and support. The mesh actively and efficiently wicks away the build-up of excess sweat and moisture to leave you feeling cool, dry and comfortable as you strive for the best results and performance. Additionally, the mesh encourages cool air to circulate, creating a drier, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. As well as improving moisture management, the upper of the Challenger ATR 5 offers supreme durability for a sturdy, reliable shoe that is ideal in all conditions as it battles the elements as well as difficult, unpredictable terrain. Support is ensured by the internal heel-counter, which adds stability in the rearfoot on initial impact. Finished off with a textured TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) toe reinforcement, the added durability provides protection against debris and sharp objects that could be detrimental to your performance, especially on the aforementioned terrain. The Challenger's durability, stability, and breathability makes this a trail shoe that works for you.

EVA Midsole

The Challenger ATR 5 continues to offer a high cushion-to-weight ratio with a lightweight, oversized EVA midsole that offers a plush underfoot feel; designed to help each stride feel more comfortable than the last the compression moulded EVA absorbs impact forces and creates a stable landing so you can you run further for longer in comfort and protection ensuring the wear and tear placed on your joints is kept to a minimum. A modified midfoot design offers an improved lockdown ensuring a sturdy and secure fit whilst the early stage Meta-Rocker will transfer you to your toes quicker for a powerful push off ensuring a smoother ride and an improved gait efficiency and transition.

Podular Outsole

When trail running it is imperative to have an assured footing, with difficult, unpredictable terrain often causing obstacles and challenges to your performance. The Challenger ATR 5 boasts a podular outsole, which delivers an abundance of grip and traction to help fill you with confidence as you take on the trails. 4mm lugs provide traction on a variety of surfaces; strategically placed along the outsole the 4mm lugs provide a full, unrestricted range of motion in all directions and much need flexibility to bolster comfort and performance in equal measures. Designed to be spaced closer on the heel for a smoother, more consistent ride and wider in the forefront for added grip in slippery trail conditions, the Challenger ALT 5 provides stability on a variety of terrain to be the perfect all purpose trail shoe.
