Hoka

Transport GORE-TEX®

Women's

I'm disappointed that a wide version is not offered.

I live in the Pacific Northwest (lots of rain) and walk 3-6 miles daily with my dog on paved and unpaved surfaces. Comfortable waterproof shoes are a must. When I saw these came in waterproof I knew I needed to try them. Overall, I'm pretty impressed. I think the waterproof is more of a "water resistant" but that's not unusual - I have yet to find a truly waterproof sneaker. They are incredibly comfortable, my feet feel "energized" in these and some knee pain I had been dealing with pretty much resolved completely after switching to the Hoka transport. The upper material is a gore tex cordura nylon which is lightweight but a bit stiff, and though not completely waterproof, they are water resistant and along with wool socks my feet stay pretty dry. The material is also really easy to clean (mud basically wipes off) so that is a plus (my previous waterproof sneakers were a knit material which was fairly waterproof but required more thorough cleaning). I will say these probably won't work for wider feet - my feet are pretty narrow and these feel a little snug in the toe box. Overall though I'm happy with them: Rating 5 for comfort, 5 for style and 3.5 for waterproof - 4.5 rounded up to 5.

I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and I have found that the hoka product provides me with enough comfort, that I do not suffer by the end of the day.

These are my go to shoes for travel and all day wear at Disneyland. I can go 12k steps without discomfort. I want them in every color.

I have problem feet, big time: My feet are very sensitive, and tough to fit due to past injuries and poor healing. I have arthritis, I like to run on wet turf. I walk my dogs every morning, often in the rain. As a result, It is very tough for me to find a shoe that meets my needs. I ordered the Transport GTX hoping the GTX would keep my feet dry and that the shoe would fit relatively well. These are remarkable and surpassed my expectations by a landslide! I've been wearing them for everything - dog walks, wet runs, shopping, even casual going out. They look great - not bulky or clunky. The fast lace technology is very easy and actually works to hug my arch and give my forefoot lots of room. I love them so much I ordered two more pairs in different colors.
