HOKA Transport Hike Hiking Shoes - Green/Cream - UK 11

While the Transport Hike is very capable on day hikes and trails, it is primarily designed as a versatile shoe. For heavy, multi-day backpacking with a very heavy pack, a dedicated hiking boot with more ankle support might be preferable.

GORE-TEX is designed to be breathable, but as with all waterproof membranes, it will be warmer than a non-waterproof mesh shoe. They are best suited for cool to moderate temperatures.

Simply rinse the outsole with water and use a brush to scrub out any debris trapped between the lugs. Allow it to air dry.

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.

The internal GORE-TEX bootie provides a high level of waterproof protection against rain, puddles, and wet grass. However, water can still enter the shoe if it flows over the top of the collar.

HOKA shoes generally follow standard sizing. If you plan to wear thick wool hiking socks, some users prefer going up a half size, but the current fit is standard.

The exterior water-resistant coating can wear off. Apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for GORE-TEX footwear to restore performance.

Adjust the speed lace hooks. Because the shoe features a bootie construction, you may need to loosen the laces significantly to allow your foot to slide in comfortably before tightening.

While Vibram Megagrip is high-performance, sticky mud can accumulate. Use a stiff nylon brush to clear the tread patterns after particularly messy hikes to maintain optimal grip.
