FAQs
Are the Transport 2 shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane, which provides reliable waterproof protection while allowing for breathability.
Can I wear these for long-distance technical hiking?
While they are very capable, they are designed as a hybrid for city and light trail use, so they may lack the specific deep-lug traction needed for extreme technical mountain terrain.
How do I maintain the anti-odour features?
Regularly air out the shoes after use and follow the standard cleaning guidelines. Avoid using heavy machine washing cycles which can degrade the integrated treatments.
Are the materials sustainable?
Yes, the shoe features a PFC/PFAS-free durable water repellent finish to minimize environmental impact.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The HOKA Transport 2 generally provides a standard athletic fit. If you have specific fit concerns, it is recommended to compare them with your previous HOKA sizing.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the laces are tightened properly and the DWR coating is intact; if the surface is saturated, clean the shoes and re-apply a DWR treatment.
Feeling of discomfort during initial use
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and using appropriate moisture-wicking hiking socks, as the stiff structure of a new shoe requires a short break-in period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Transport 2 stays in optimal condition, consider these care tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and mud using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the DWR finish.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the adhesive and upper materials.
- Waterproofing: If the water-repellent performance fades over time, apply a technical waterproofing spray recommended for GORE-TEX footwear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
