FAQs
What makes the Transport 2 more comfortable than the original?
The Transport 2 increases comfort with a higher stack height, a plusher collar, and a more cushioned sockliner, providing a softer step-in feel and enhanced all-day comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?
The Transport 2 is best suited for light hiking, walking, and lifestyle use. For technical terrain or long-distance backpacking, consider specialized hiking boots.
How do I clean the shoes?
Use a damp cloth for surface dirt. For a deeper clean, mild soap and water can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid machine washing or high heat.
What does '360-degree reflectivity' mean?
It means the shoes have reflective elements strategically placed all around them, enhancing your visibility to others when light hits them, particularly useful in low-light conditions.
Can I replace the quick-toggle laces with regular laces?
Yes, traditional laces are included with the shoes, allowing you to switch from the quick-toggle system to a standard lace-up closure for a more customized fit if desired.
What is the benefit of the sugarcane EVA midsole?
The 30% sugarcane EVA midsole contributes to the shoe's cushioning while using a more sustainable material derived from renewable resources, reducing reliance on traditional petroleum-based foams.
How durable is the water-repellent treatment?
The PFC-free/PFAS-free water repellency treatment is applied topically and is effective against light moisture. Its durability may decrease with frequent wear and washing, and reapplication might be necessary over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose with the quick-toggle laces.
Ensure the toggle is fully tightened. If the issue persists, consider using the included traditional laces for a more secure, customizable fit.
Water is seeping through the upper material.
The water repellency treatment is effective against light moisture. For heavier rain, consider additional waterproofing or alternative footwear. The treatment may need reapplication over time.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
While the Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole offers good grip, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal performance.
Cushioning feels too soft or offers too much give.
The Transport 2 prioritizes a cushioned feel. If a firmer ride is preferred, these may not be the ideal choice. Ensure you are using the correct size; an ill-fitting shoe can sometimes feel less supportive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Lace Adjustment: If using the quick-toggle lace system, pull the toggle to loosen the laces for easy foot entry. Once the foot is in, pull the toggle to tighten and secure the shoe. For a more precise fit, use the included traditional laces and tie them as you would with any other shoe.
Compatibility:
Activities: Best suited for hiking, walking, and general lifestyle wear. Not recommended for technical or aggressive off-road hiking.
Footwear: Designed for adult female feet.
Care:
Cleaning: Clean the shoes with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, ensuring to rinse thoroughly. Allow the shoes to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
Water Repellency: The water-repellent treatment is topical and may fade with wear and washing. Reapplication of a suitable PFC-free/PFAS-free repellent spray can help maintain water resistance.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the materials and shape of the shoes.
