Their key benefit lies in enhanced comfort and city-to-trail adaptability, with a caveat of potentially being less specialized for extreme technical terrain.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for technical hiking?

The HOKA Transport 2 is designed for city-to-trail versatility, light to moderate hiking, and walking. For highly technical terrain with significant rock scrambling or steep, uneven surfaces, a more specialized hiking boot with enhanced ankle support may be preferable.

How do I clean the HOKA Transport 2?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or dry. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.

What is the benefit of the quick-toggle lace system?

The quick-toggle lace system allows for very fast and easy on-and-off, as well as quick adjustments to the fit without needing to tie knots.

How much recycled material is used in these shoes?

The shoes feature a 30% sugarcane EVA midsole and a Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole made with 30% regrind materials. Additionally, 100% recycled polyester is used in the vamp, Cordura® mesh tongue, rear-quarter mesh, tongue and collar lining, and ghillie webbing textile.

Is the water repellency treatment permanent?

The water repellency treatment is applied topically and is not permanent. It may diminish over time with use and washing. Reapplication may be necessary to maintain optimal performance.

Can I replace the included insoles?

Yes, the sockliner can typically be removed, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics or insoles if needed, provided they are of a similar thickness and shape.

What is the main difference between the Transport 2 and the original Transport?

The Transport 2 offers increased comfort through a higher stack height, a cushier sockliner, and a plusher collar compared to the original model.

Troubleshooting

Quick-toggle lace system is difficult to adjust

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the toggle mechanism. If laces are dirty or frayed, clean or replace them. Gently work the toggle back and forth to loosen any stiffness.

Reduced water repellency after some use

The topical water repellency treatment may naturally wear off. Consider reapplying a PFC-free/PFAS-Free water repellent spray designed for footwear according to product instructions.

Shoes feel slippery on wet surfaces

While the Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole provides good traction, extremely wet or polished surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris, which can impair its effectiveness.

Discomfort or rubbing during wear

Ensure you are using the correct lacing method (traditional or quick-toggle) for a secure fit. Break in the shoes by wearing them for shorter periods initially. Check for any debris inside the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort for extended wear due to increased cushioning.
  • Environmentally conscious design with significant use of recycled and sustainable materials.
  • Convenient and quick lace system for easy adjustments.
  • Good visibility in low-light conditions thanks to 360-degree reflectivity.
  • Durable and versatile outsole suitable for a range of terrains.

Cons

  • May not provide the aggressive ankle support needed for very technical or rugged off-trail hiking.
  • The quick-toggle lace system, while convenient, might not offer the same precise lockdown as traditional laces for some users.
  • Water repellency treatment is topical and may diminish over time with heavy use or washing.
  • Primarily designed for lighter hiking and walking; may not be ideal for extreme conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HOKA Transport 2 comes with a quick-toggle stretch lace system pre-installed for immediate use. Traditional laces are also included in the box. To use the quick-toggle, simply slide the toggle to tighten and lift the toggle to loosen. If you prefer a traditional lace-up fit, you can remove the quick-toggle system and thread the included traditional laces through the eyelets.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult women. They are suitable for a variety of surfaces including paved paths, light trails, and urban environments. They are compatible with most types of weather, with the exception of extreme conditions like heavy snow or prolonged submersion in water.

Care: To maintain the shoes, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. The water repellency treatment can be refreshed periodically using appropriate fabric care products.
