Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Transport 2 is designed for active adults seeking versatile footwear for both urban commutes and light trail adventures. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort and sustainability, making it ideal for daily wear and varied terrains. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it is optimized for lighter activities rather than rugged, technical hiking. This updated model features a higher stack height, a plusher collar, and a more cushioned sockliner for improved step-in feel. Constructed with recycled materials and a sugarcane EVA midsole, it offers a more sustainable option for the environmentally conscious consumer.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The HOKA Transport 2 features a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which helps to shed light moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

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

The Transport 2 offers increased comfort with a higher stack height, a plusher collar, and a more cushioned sockliner for a softer step-in feel compared to the original model.

How do I clean the quick-toggle laces?

The stretch laces can be cleaned by hand with mild soap and water. Ensure they are dry before re-attaching or using them.

Can I use these for intense hiking?

The Transport 2 is designed for city-to-trail versatility and is best suited for walking and light hiking. For intense or technical hiking, a shoe with more robust support and protection is recommended.

What does 'sustainably minded details' mean for this shoe?

It means the shoe incorporates eco-friendly materials such as a midsole made with 30% sugarcane EVA and an outsole made with 30% recycled materials. Additionally, various components like the vamp, tongue, and lining are made from 100% recycled polyester.

How visible are the reflective elements?

The shoes have 360-degree reflectivity, meaning reflective materials are incorporated around the entire shoe to enhance visibility from all angles in low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source.

What is the benefit of the Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole?

This outsole provides durable traction and is made with 30% regrind materials, contributing to the shoe's overall sustainable design by utilizing recycled components.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose with quick-toggle laces

Adjust the toggle mechanism for a snugger or looser fit. For a more precise fit, consider swapping to the included traditional laces and tying them to your preference.

Water repellency is reduced

Clean the shoes thoroughly and apply a PFC-free/PFAS-Free waterproofing spray suitable for footwear. Allow to dry completely.

Traction seems poor on certain surfaces

Ensure the Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole is free from mud, debris, or excessive wear. For slippery conditions, exercise caution, as no outsole guarantees perfect grip on all surfaces.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure you are using the correct lace tension for your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's fit is suitable for your foot type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort due to increased cushioning and a softer collar.
  • Versatile design suitable for walking, light hiking, and daily wear.
  • Environmentally conscious construction with recycled materials and sugarcane EVA.
  • Convenient quick-toggle lace system for ease of use.
  • Improved visibility with 360-degree reflectivity.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient support or durability for advanced, technical hiking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Transport 2 comes with a quick-toggle stretch lace system pre-installed for convenience. If you prefer a traditional fit, traditional laces are included and can be easily swapped out by unthreading the existing system and lacing them through the ghillie webbing and eyelets.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for adult use, specifically women in this variant. It is best suited for walking, light hiking, and general lifestyle wear. It is not intended for technical mountaineering or extremely rugged terrain.

Care: To maintain the shoe's condition and water-repellent properties:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Water Repellency: The topical PFC-free/PFAS-Free water repellency treatment can be refreshed periodically using suitable waterproofing sprays designed for footwear. Follow the product instructions for application.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can degrade materials.
  4. Laces: The stretch laces can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Traditional laces can be hand-washed.
