Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Transport 2 hiking shoes are designed for adult women seeking versatile footwear for city exploration and light trails. Their key benefit is a blend of enhanced comfort and sustainable design, making them ideal for everyday adventures. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are best suited for less technical terrain. This iteration builds on the original's city-to-trail capability with a higher stack height, a more cushioned sockliner, and a plusher collar for a softer step-in feel. Key features include a midsole made with 30% sugarcane EVA, a Vibram EcoStep Recycle outsole, a quick-toggle lace system, a durable water-repellent treatment, and 360-degree reflectivity.

FAQs

Are the HOKA Transport 2 shoes waterproof?

The HOKA Transport 2 shoes feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which helps to repel light moisture like splashes or very light rain. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for immersion in water or heavy rain.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?

These shoes are designed for city use and light trails. They perform well on pavements, packed dirt paths, gravel, and moderate, non-technical terrain. They are not recommended for rugged, rocky, or extremely uneven surfaces.

How do I clean the Vibram EcoStep Recycle outsole?

You can clean the outsole by using a damp cloth with mild soap to remove mud or debris. A soft brush can also help dislodge dirt from the treads. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.

How do I maintain the quick-toggle lace system?

The quick-toggle lace system requires minimal maintenance. Ensure the toggle and laces remain clean. If the laces become frayed, they can be replaced with standard shoelaces, though you may need to adapt how the toggle functions.

What does '30% sugarcane EVA midsole' mean for performance?

Using sugarcane in the EVA midsole contributes to a more sustainable manufacturing process. This material blend still provides the signature HOKA cushioning and shock absorption, offering a comfortable and responsive feel underfoot.

Can I wear these shoes for extended periods of standing or walking?

Yes, the enhanced cushioning, higher stack height, and plush collar are specifically designed to provide comfort for extended periods of standing and walking, making them suitable for daily wear and travel.

How durable is the DWR treatment?

The DWR treatment provides an initial level of water repellency that can diminish with regular use and cleaning. It is recommended to reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain its effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the quick-toggle lace system. Pull the toggle to tighten and press it while sliding to loosen. Ensure the lace is secured properly.

Reduced water repellency.

Reapply a compatible DWR spray to the shoe's exterior. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before application.

Slight squeaking noise during walking.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or specific sole materials. It often resolves with continued use. Ensure no debris is trapped in the outsole tread.

Foot discomfort after initial wear.

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, check the fit and consider if the shoe is suitable for your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HOKA Transport 2 hiking shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Adjust the quick-toggle lace system for a secure and comfortable fit by pulling the toggle and sliding it to your desired tightness, then tucking the excess lace. Ensure the shoes fit properly before your first extended use.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for general adult use. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. While designed for versatility, they are best suited for urban environments and light, non-technical trails. They are not intended for rugged mountaineering or extreme sports.

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

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap for dirt and grime. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the materials and affect the DWR treatment.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade or shrink.
  3. Water Repellency: The DWR treatment will naturally wear off over time. You can reapply a DWR spray suitable for footwear to refresh its water-repellent properties after several months of use or as needed.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing in damp conditions.
