FAQs
Is the HOKA Transport 2 waterproof?
It features a water-repellent (DWR) treatment that protects against light rain and damp conditions, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for intense hiking?
They are best suited for urban environments and light, maintained trails. For rugged or technical terrain, a more specialized hiking boot is recommended.
How do I clean the shoes?
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the exterior. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the sockliner is designed to be removable if you wish to use your own orthotic insoles.
What does the 360-degree reflectivity do?
It ensures that the shoe is visible from any angle when hit by light, significantly increasing your safety during night or low-light activities.
How does the fit compare to the original Transport?
The Transport 2 has a higher stack height and a plusher collar, providing a softer, more cushioned feel than the first version.
Troubleshooting
Quick-toggle lace feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the toggle tension while the shoe is on your foot; pull the loose ends to tighten or depress the toggle button to release tension.
Outsole losing grip on wet surfaces
Check the tread for debris or compacted mud, which can hinder the grip of the Vibram EcoStep outsole. Clean the outsole with a stiff brush.
Water repellent properties fading
After extensive use or cleaning, you may reapply a standard hiking shoe DWR spray to restore water resistance.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Sustainable material construction
- Easy on-and-off with quick-toggle laces

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the quick-toggle laces until the shoe feels secure but not restrictive across the instep. Because of the DWR treatment, it is important to avoid harsh detergents or high-heat machine drying, as these can strip the protective finish. If the shoes become muddy, wipe them down with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the shape and longevity of the EVA foam midsole.
