The Challenger GTX is a true hybrid, designed to move seamlessly from road to trail. In our waterproof running shoes guide we were immediately impressed by the plush cushioning: it’s like running on a cloud, yet you still feel connected to the ground.
The transition from tarmac to trail is smooth, the stack height adds cushioning without compromising stability, and the GORE-TEX membrane keeps your feet dry. The Challenger 8 GTX is the current version.
Who it’s for: runners whose routes mix roads, towpaths and light trails in all weathers.
