Hoka Transport 2 Hiking Shoes - Tranquil Blue/Ambient Blue - UK8

The HOKA Transport 2 shoes feature a topically applied PFC-free/PFAS-Free water repellency treatment, which helps repel light moisture and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion or heavy rain conditions.

Yes, the HOKA Transport 2 comes with a set of traditional laces that you can easily swap in if you prefer a more conventional lacing system or need a more precise fit.

The shoes incorporate sustainable elements such as a midsole made with 30% sugarcane EVA and a Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole constructed with 30% regrind materials. Additionally, many fabric components, including the vamp, tongue, and lining, are made from 100% recycled polyester.

Clean the shoes using a soft brush or cloth dampened with cool water. For tougher dirt on the midsole and outsole, a slightly stiffer brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The HOKA Transport 2 is best suited for light hiking, walking, and general lifestyle wear. They offer good traction on urban surfaces, gravel paths, and moderate trails but are not designed for highly technical or rugged terrain.

The reflective elements are integrated into the shoe's design. Regular cleaning with water and a soft cloth will help maintain their visibility. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the reflective material.

The Transport 2 builds upon the original by offering enhanced comfort through a higher stack height, a cushier sockliner, and a plusher collar, providing a softer step-in feel and improved cushioning.

Ensure the toggle is fully engaged and the lace ends are properly secured within the toggle mechanism. If still loose, consider switching to the included traditional laces for a more customized fit.

The shoes have a water-repellent treatment, not full waterproofing. For heavier rain or prolonged exposure to wetness, consider waterproof footwear. The water repellency can be refreshed with a suitable spray.

The Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole is designed for versatility, but extremely slick surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that could affect traction.

The EVA midsole will naturally compress with extensive use. For optimal comfort, consider replacing the shoes when the cushioning feels significantly diminished. Ensure the sockliner is clean and properly seated.
