Hoka Challenger Low GORE-TEX Walking Shoes
Designed for the city and the trails, the Challenger Low GORE-TEX features a waterproof Nubuck leather and a GORE-TEX waterproof bootie for a clean look. Featuring an all-terrain outsole with 4mm sticky rubber lugs, this shoe has a soft, cushioned ride.
GORE-TEX Upper
The waterproof Nubuck leather upper and GORE-TEX waterproof bootie provide a premium and complete barrier from a variety of weather. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, the 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. A moulded eye-row ensures that stability is no problem, locking in the feet allowing you to move confidently with every step. Adding further to the stability is the stitched midfoot seatbelt providing more support to the foot keeping it in place on a variety of terrains.
CMEVA Midsole
A Meta-Rocker midsole geometry is specifically designed with a low heel-toe differential and a sculpted outsole in the heel and toe, which creates a unique fulcrum effect, like a rocking chair for your foot, encouraging a guided gait cycle. The unique feature is designed to support a walker's natural form whilst encouraging an efficient, smooth roll from initial impact to toe-off. Lightweight cushioned CMEVA fills the midsole volume. This engineered midsole volume is up to 2.5x the volume compared to standard walking shoes, made with a performance-specific, lightweight cushioning material. The maximum cushioning material is designed to provide shock attenuation and superior comfort for reduced fatigue in out feet, legs, and core.
Podular Outsole
The podular outsole design is primarily functioned to provide stability, especially on difficult and unpredictable terrain such as walking and hiking. Having the stability on uneven terrain will enable you to run with confidence and style knowing your body will be secure and the potential risk of injury or strain should be diminished in the process. 4mm lugs provide all-terrain traction to give you the grip required to conquer the trail.
