FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for heavy snow?
While the GORE-TEX membrane keeps feet dry, they are designed for light hiking and urban use rather than deep, winter mountain trekking.
Does the GORE-TEX make the shoe feel hot?
GORE-TEX is designed to be breathable, but as a waterproof shoe, it will naturally be warmer than a non-waterproof mesh runner.
How do I clean the PFC/PFAS-free DWR finish?
Use a soft brush and water to remove dirt. Avoid harsh detergents that can strip the water-repellent coating.
Is this shoe good for standing all day?
Yes, HOKA is known for its supportive cushioning, making this model excellent for those who stand or walk on hard city surfaces for long hours.
Are they true to size?
The Transport 2 fits standard, but it is always recommended to compare against your existing HOKA sizing if you have owned the brand previously.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing appears less effective
The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a technical DWR spray specifically formulated for GORE-TEX footwear.
Footbed feels less comfortable
Check the insole for debris or damage; you may need to replace the factory insole with an aftermarket supportive insert.
Odor buildup
Ensure you remove the shoes promptly after use to allow air circulation and consider using an antibacterial shoe spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA shoes last, proper maintenance is essential. Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the cushioning materials and the waterproof membrane. After muddy outings, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes get thoroughly soaked, remove the insoles and air dry them naturally at room temperature. Ensure you choose the correct size for your foot shape, as the Transport series offers a structured fit intended for walking stability.
