Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Transport 2 is designed for adult women seeking a versatile shoe for urban commutes and light trail adventures. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort and a softer step-in feel due to a higher stack height and plush collar, making it suitable for all-day wear. A potential caveat for some users might be the quick-toggle lace system, which offers convenience but may not provide the precise fit of traditional laces for highly technical terrain. This updated version features sustainably minded materials, a comfortable sockliner, a durable outsole, and 360-degree reflectivity for increased visibility.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Transport 2 over the original Transport?

The Transport 2 offers enhanced comfort with a higher stack height, a cushier sockliner, and a plusher collar, providing a softer step-in feel and improved overall cushioning.

Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking on rugged trails?

The Transport 2 is best suited for light hiking, walking, and urban use. While the Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole offers good traction, they may not provide the necessary support or protection for highly technical or rugged terrain.

How do I clean the shoes?

Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For interiors, spot clean with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.

Can I replace the quick-toggle laces with regular laces?

Yes, the shoes come with a set of traditional laces. You can remove the quick-toggle system and insert the traditional laces for a more customized fit if desired.

What does 'sustainably minded details' refer to?

It refers to the use of eco-friendly materials, such as a midsole made with 30% sugarcane EVA and an outsole made with 30% recycled materials (Vibram® EcoStep Recycle). Several components also use 100% recycled polyester.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

The shoes have a topical PFC-free/PFAS-Free water repellency treatment. To maintain this, you can reapply a similar treatment spray periodically, following the product's instructions.

What is the benefit of 360-degree reflectivity?

The 360-degree reflectivity enhances your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as during early morning or evening activities, contributing to increased safety.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the quick-toggle lace system for a more secure or relaxed fit. If using traditional laces, ensure they are tied appropriately. Consider trying the included traditional laces for a more customizable fit if the toggle system is not meeting your needs.

Reduced water repellency

Reapply a topically applied PFC-free/PFAS-Free water repellency treatment spray to the exterior of the shoes. Follow the product's instructions for application and drying.

Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces

Ensure the Vibram® EcoStep Recycle outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. While designed for grip, extreme wet conditions can still reduce traction on any shoe. Dry the shoes thoroughly after use.

Discomfort after extended wear

Verify you have the correct size and width. If the issue persists, try using the included traditional laces to adjust the pressure points more precisely. Ensure you are using appropriate socks for cushioning and moisture-wicking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for all-day comfort.
  • Versatile design suitable for multiple activities and environments.
  • Incorporates eco-friendly and recycled materials.
  • Convenient quick-toggle lacing system for ease of use.
  • Increased safety with 360-degree reflectivity.

Cons

  • Quick-toggle laces may not offer the same level of precise fit as traditional laces for some users.
  • DWR treatment is topical and may diminish over time with wear and washing.
  • Primarily designed for light trails; may not offer sufficient support for rugged or technical terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Transport 2 comes with a quick-toggle stretch lace system pre-installed for immediate use. To adjust the fit, simply pull the toggles. If you prefer traditional lacing, the shoes also include a set of traditional laces. To switch, untie and remove the quick-toggle system and replace it with the provided traditional laces, threading them through the eyelets as usual.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for a wide range of users and activities, primarily focusing on walking, hiking, and lifestyle use. They are compatible with various sock types. For optimal performance, ensure your size is correct, as the cushioning and support are calibrated for the intended fit.

Care: To clean the HOKA Transport 2, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. For the interior, a gentle spot clean with a mild soap and water solution can be used if needed. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction. The water-repellent treatment can be reapplied periodically using a PFC-free/PFAS-Free spray to maintain its effectiveness.
