Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Transport 2 is an ideal choice for urban commuters and light hikers seeking a versatile shoe that seamlessly bridges the gap between city streets and natural trails. It offers a significant boost in underfoot comfort through a higher stack height and a plush collar, making it perfect for long days on your feet; however, users should note that the durable water-repellent treatment is designed for light exposure and may not be fully waterproof in torrential conditions.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Transport 2 features a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment, which helps shed light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof.

Can I use these for long-distance trail running?

While they are capable on light trails, they are designed primarily for hiking and walking rather than high-performance trail running.

How do I replace the quick-toggle laces?

If the laces fail, they can be replaced with standard hiking laces if preferred, though you will lose the quick-toggle functionality.

Are the sockliners removable?

Yes, the cushier sockliner can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotic insoles.

How should I store them?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the midsole foam to degrade or discolor over time.

Do they provide arch support?

Like most HOKA models, the Transport 2 features an inherent neutral-to-supportive geometry designed to provide balanced comfort for most foot types.

Troubleshooting

Toggle lace feels loose during a walk

Ensure the toggle is pushed firmly against the tongue and that no fabric is caught underneath the locking mechanism.

Foot feels too tight across the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system by sliding the toggle downwards and re-distributing the tension evenly across the eyelets.

Outsole collecting mud

Use a soft brush to clear debris from the Vibram lugs after your hike to maintain optimal traction and prevent tracking dirt indoors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both urban environments and light trails
  • Improved cushioning compared to the previous model
  • Eco-conscious materials used in midsole and outsole
  • Convenient quick-toggle lacing system
  • Enhanced visibility with 360-degree reflective elements

Cons

  • Water-repellent finish is not a full waterproof membrane
  • Higher stack height may feel less stable on extremely technical, rocky terrain
  • Quick-toggle laces offer less granular adjustment than traditional tied laces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Transport 2, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure your feet are measured at the end of the day when they are at their largest to account for swelling. The UK size 8 provided is standard, but wearing your typical hiking sock during your first trial fit is recommended.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the toggle tension once and then use the loops to slip the shoe on. Avoid yanking the toggle aggressively to maintain cord integrity.
  3. Cleaning: Hand wash using cold water and a mild detergent. Remove the sockliner to clean separately. Never put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the EVA foam and the DWR coating.
  4. Maintenance: If the water-repellent performance fades over time, apply a silicone-based DWR spray specifically formulated for synthetic footwear to restore moisture resistance.
