FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Transport 2 over the original?

The Transport 2 offers enhanced comfort with a higher stack height, a cushier sockliner, and a plusher collar, making the step-in feel and overall cushioning more pronounced.

Are these shoes suitable for heavy rain or hiking in wet conditions?

The Transport 2 features a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which is effective against light moisture and splashes. They are not waterproof and not recommended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet hiking conditions.

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

While not officially recommended, it might be technically possible depending on the lace eyelets. However, the quick-toggle system is a key feature, and replacing it would alter the shoe's design and convenience.

What makes the sole sustainable?

The outsole is made from Vibram EcoStep Recycle, a material incorporating recycled rubber. The midsole uses a foam derived from 30% sugarcane EVA, contributing to a more environmentally conscious product.

How do I know if the size is right for me?

Refer to the HOKA sizing chart and measure your foot length. These shoes are designed for women and are available in UK sizes. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box for comfort during activity.

What kind of terrain are these shoes NOT good for?

These shoes are not designed for technical hiking with very uneven surfaces, steep rocky ascents/descents, or muddy conditions that require aggressive traction and ankle support.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The 360-degree reflectivity is integrated into the design of the shoe. With proper care, these elements should maintain their effectiveness for the lifespan of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Laces won't tighten or loosen properly

Ensure the toggle mechanism is clean and free of debris. If it feels stuck, try gently manipulating it. Refer to the product's specific lacing guide for adjustment tips.

Reduced water repellency after use

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for hiking shoes. Clean the shoes thoroughly before application.

Unusual wear on the outsole

Inspect the terrain typically used. If unusual wear is occurring on specific parts of the outsole, adjust gait or consider if the shoes are being used on excessively abrasive surfaces.

Slight odor developing

Ensure shoes are dried thoroughly after each use. Remove insoles and allow them to air out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HOKA Transport 2 comes ready to wear. The quick-toggle lace system is pre-set but can be adjusted for a personalized fit by following the instructions provided with the shoes, typically involving releasing and re-tightening the toggle.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for women and are suitable for adult wear. They are best used for walking, light hiking, and everyday activities. They are compatible with various casual outfits.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Transport 2 shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For more stubborn dirt or stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Water-Repellent Treatment: The DWR treatment can be refreshed periodically using specialized waterproofing sprays designed for footwear.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from direct sunlight.
