Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Transport Hike GORE-TEX is a versatile, low-profile chukka designed for women who need a seamless transition from urban commuting to light-duty trail hiking. These shoes provide excellent weather protection through an integrated waterproof membrane and reliable grip on mixed terrain, though the sleek aesthetic may feel less robust than traditional, heavy-duty mountain boots.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature an internal GORE-TEX bootie that makes them fully waterproof against rain and surface water.
Can I use these for technical hiking?
These are designed for light-duty trails and urban environments; they lack the rigid support required for technical, high-altitude mountaineering.
How do I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Clean the exterior with water and mild soap. Never use harsh detergents or bleach, as they can break down the waterproof treatment.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the provided insoles are generally removable if you prefer to use custom orthotic inserts.
How does the size run?
HOKA sizing is generally consistent with standard athletic shoe sizing, but we recommend checking the size chart against your current measurements.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure the shoe is laced tightly around the ankle. While GORE-TEX is waterproof, water can enter through the top collar if walking in deep puddles or heavy downpours.
Slipping on dry, smooth surfaces
Check the Vibram outsole for packed mud or debris in the lugs, which can reduce surface contact; clean the soles with a stiff brush.
Laces coming loose
The speed lace hooks require a specific pull-and-lock motion; ensure you have fully engaged the hook to secure the tension.
Pros and Cons

- Stylish, versatile design suitable for city and trail

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Transport Hike shoes last, avoid high-heat drying, which can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and outer adhesives. If the shoes become heavily soiled, use a soft brush to remove dried mud and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. The speed lace system is designed for ease; ensure the tension is distributed evenly across the eyelets to prevent pressure points. For those who wear custom orthotics, the internal footbed is typically removable to accommodate your specific arch support needs. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area if they become saturated from the inside.
