Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Transport 2 is designed for adult women seeking versatile footwear for city commutes and light trail adventures. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort and responsiveness, offering a smooth transition from urban environments to natural terrain, with a caveat that while versatile, it is primarily designed for lighter outdoor activities rather than rugged backpacking. This updated version features a higher stack height, a plusher collar, and a more comfortable sockliner, combined with sustainable materials like a sugarcane EVA midsole and Vibram EcoStep Recycle outsole, a quick-toggle lace system, durable water-repellent treatment, and 360-degree reflectivity for added safety.

FAQs

Are the HOKA Transport 2 suitable for hiking in the rain?

The Transport 2 features a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) treatment, which helps repel light moisture and rain. However, they are not fully waterproof and are best suited for moderate or light wet conditions rather than heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet environments.

What is the primary difference between the Transport 2 and the original Transport?

The Transport 2 offers enhanced comfort with a higher stack height, a plusher collar, and a more cushioned sockliner compared to the original model. It maintains the same city-to-trail versatility and sustainable design elements.

How do I clean the Vibram EcoStep Recycle outsole?

Gently brush away loose dirt. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Ensure the outsole is dry before use.

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

Yes, the quick-toggle lace system can typically be removed, and standard shoelaces can be threaded through the eyelets if preferred.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The standard width is designed for typical adult foot shapes. Specific width options are not usually advertised for this model, so trying them on or checking customer reviews for fit experiences is recommended.

How durable is the 30% sugarcane EVA midsole?

HOKA's EVA midsoles are engineered for durability and cushioning. The sugarcane-based EVA in the Transport 2 offers comparable performance and longevity to traditional EVA, while providing a more sustainable option.

What type of trails are these shoes best for?

These shoes are best suited for well-maintained paths, gravel trails, light dirt trails, and general urban environments. They are not recommended for highly technical terrain, rocky ascents/descents, or muddy conditions where aggressive tread and ankle support are crucial.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty adjusting quick-toggle laces

Ensure the laces are not tangled. Check that the toggle and lace channels are free of debris. If laces are frayed, they may need replacement.

Reduced water repellency after wear

Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for footwear. Clean the shoes before application for best results.

Foot fatigue on longer walks

Ensure the shoes are properly sized and laced for optimal support. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is needed, though the stock cushioning is substantial.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While designed for versatility, extreme wet conditions or very smooth surfaces may reduce traction. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip from the Vibram EcoStep Recycle compound.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HOKA Transport 2 comes ready to wear. The quick-toggle lace system can be adjusted by sliding the toggle to tighten or loosen the fit. For a more personalized fit, you can also untie the knot at the end of the laces and re-tie it.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for general adult use and is compatible with a wide range of athletic and casual wear. It is best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.

Care: To maintain the shoe's performance and appearance:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not use a dryer.
  3. Water Repellency: The DWR treatment can be refreshed using commercially available waterproofing sprays designed for footwear.
  4. Laces: Ensure the quick-toggle mechanism is clean to allow for smooth adjustment.
