Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Transport 2 hiking shoes are designed for adult females seeking versatile footwear for hiking, walking, and everyday lifestyle use. They offer enhanced comfort and a softer step-in feel compared to previous models, featuring a higher stack height and a plusher collar. A key benefit is their city-to-trail adaptability, supported by sustainable materials like a sugarcane EVA midsole and recycled outsole. One caveat is the quick-toggle lace system, which might require an adjustment period for those accustomed to traditional laces, though traditional laces are included.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?

Yes, the HOKA Transport 2 offers enhanced cushioning and comfort, making them suitable for long walks and moderate hikes. For extremely rugged or technical terrain, a more specialized hiking boot might be preferred.

How do I clean the recycled materials?

The recycled polyester and mesh can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the material integrity and water-repellent treatment.

Can I replace the quick-toggle laces with regular laces?

Yes, a set of traditional laces is included with the shoes. You can easily remove the quick-toggle system and use the provided traditional laces if you prefer.

What does '360-degree reflectivity' mean?

It means that reflective elements are incorporated into the design all around the shoe, increasing visibility from all angles in low-light conditions, which is beneficial for safety.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The HOKA Transport 2 features a topically applied PFC-free/PFAS-Free water repellency treatment, which helps to repel light moisture and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for immersion in water or prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the benefit of the sugarcane EVA midsole?

The midsole made with 30% sugarcane EVA provides a soft, responsive, and cushioned feel underfoot, similar to traditional EVA foam, but derived from a more sustainable resource.

What type of outsole do these shoes have?

They feature a Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole, made with 30% recycled materials. This outsole is known for its durability and reliable traction across various surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Quick-toggle lace won't tighten or loosen properly.

Ensure the toggle mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check that the laces are threaded correctly through the toggle. If damaged, consider replacing the toggle system or using the included traditional laces.

Feet feel wet after walking in damp conditions.

The shoes feature a water-repellent treatment, not full waterproofing. For very wet conditions, consider alternative waterproof footwear. Ensure the water-repellent treatment hasn't worn off; consider reapplication if necessary.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

While the Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole is designed for traction, extremely slick surfaces like wet polished floors or icy paths may still pose a risk. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could reduce grip.

Discomfort after initial wear.

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. The enhanced cushioning and stack height might feel different initially. Ensure the fit is correct – not too tight or too loose. Adjust the quick-toggle laces for a secure, comfortable fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort for extended wear.
  • Versatile for various activities from hiking to casual use.
  • Eco-conscious design with recycled and bio-based materials.
  • Easy on/off functionality with the quick-toggle lace system.
  • Improved visibility in low light conditions due to 360-degree reflectivity.
  • Durable and water-repellent construction.

Cons

  • Quick-toggle laces may take time to get used to for some users.
  • While water-repellent, not fully waterproof for heavy rain or submersion.
  • Higher stack height might feel different for those preferring a lower profile shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The shoes come with a quick-toggle stretch lace system pre-installed for easy, on-the-fly adjustments. If you prefer traditional lacing, a set of traditional laces is included. Simply remove the toggle system and thread the traditional laces through the ghillie webbing.

Compatibility: Designed for adult females, these shoes are suitable for hiking, walking, and general lifestyle wear. They are compatible with various weather conditions due to their water-repellent treatment, though not intended for deep water or prolonged heavy rain.

Care: To maintain the shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Laces: The stretch laces can be wiped clean. Traditional laces can be hand-washed with mild soap and water.
  4. Water Repellency: The water-repellent treatment may diminish over time. Reapplication with a suitable PFC-free spray can be considered after significant wear, following product instructions.
