GORE-TEX Upper
The Challenger 8 GTX keeps your feet dry in wet conditions thanks to a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, which is built directly into the upper so it seals out water without the bulk of a traditional waterproof lining. The engineered mesh upper is made with recycled materials, while 3D printed toe caps add protection where you need it. Reflective details improve visibility on dark mornings and evenings, and heel loops make the shoe easy to pull on.
EVA Midsole
The latest Challenger has more foam underfoot than the previous version, giving a well-cushioned, protective ride that stays comfortable whether you are on pavement or trail. An 8mm drop offers a familiar, smooth transition from heel to toe.
Rubber Outsole
The outsole features redesigned multidirectional 4mm lugs that bite into soft, muddy ground without feeling clumsy on the road, making the Challenger 8 GTX a versatile choice for wet-weather runs that link roads, paths and trails.
