FAQs
Are the Transport 2 shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides reliable waterproof protection while maintaining a level of comfort for daily use.
Can I wear these for long-distance hiking?
These shoes are designed for city-to-trail transitions and moderate terrain; for extended technical mountain hikes, specialized high-traction hiking boots may be more appropriate.
Do I need to spray the shoes with water repellent?
They come with a PFC/PFAS-free DWR finish, but over time, you can re-apply a technical fabric DWR spray to maintain the water-shedding properties.
How do I deal with odours?
The shoe includes built-in anti-odor technology. To further assist, remove the insoles after use to let them air out and store the shoes in a well-ventilated area.
Is the sole designed for icy conditions?
The sole is designed for versatility and general trail utility, but it is not specifically rated as a slip-resistant boot for ice or snow.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is laced tightly and check that the waterproof DWR coating has not been compromised by heavy wear.
Feeling of heat buildup during long walks
The GORE-TEX layer prioritizes waterproofing over maximum breathability; switch to moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to improve moisture management.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Transport 2, keep these maintenance tips in mind:
- Cleaning: Wipe away surface mud or dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can degrade the specialized materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Never place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can warp the foam and damage the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration and breakdown.
- Care: Periodically check if the water-repellent finish needs re-application with a technical fabric spray designed for GORE-TEX items.
