Customer Reviews Hoka Transport

I have been wearing the Gaviota 5 for just over a year. The sole started to separate at around 10 months. Now at 11.5 months, it is hurting my fee to walk in so I ordered another pair of Hoka's. I purchased the Transport hoping for a bit longer lasting shoe, expecting the same comfort etc. from them. Not the case. I ordered the same size and EE wide width. At first try, I couldn't get my foot into the Transports. Once I completely removed the laces I was able to get my feet into the shoe, but the squeezing was horrible. When I stood up on them, I could tell right away that they were nothing like the Gaviota 5's. The cushion is way firmer, almost hard by comparison, and walking was painful due to the much narrower toe box. I did double check to make sure they both say EE, and they do. There is also the issue where the point is toward the center of the toe box instead of above the big toe like the Gaviota 5's. The Gaviota 5's are like walking on air. I haven't had a pair of shoes that didn't make my feet hurt for decades (I am 59). It is so nice to actually be able to think instead of having this horrible foot pain constantly and always having to sit down to do anything. So, for me, the Transport is too narrow, the point of the toe box is in the wrong place, and the cushion is just too stiff. I will order the Gaviota 5 again and hope to find another shoe that will not hurt my feet within the next 8-10 months.

I just think that the shoes are not flexible and very narrow, even if you get a wide pair shoes.

I have several pairs of Hokas , but these are the first ones that have been so tight around my foot that it hurts. I sure hope they stretch.!

Love these shoes so comfortable and I think they look sharp. Been a allbird fan but I'm pretty sure I'll be switching just wish they weren't so expensive. But you usually get what you pay for. Had a friend interested in them told him to try mine he's a believer. You're welcome Hoka

Everyday wear

I have plantar fasciitis in both my feet and stand for work around 65% of the time. This shoe has made my days a whole lot easier with just the right amount of cushion combined with the light weight of the shoe. I would highly recommend the transport for someone who spends a lot of time on their feet at work.

I didn't know what to expect. My girlfriend suggested to me that I should try these. I trusted her and so glad I did. I love these shoes. I definitely will be buying another pair soon.

Shoes fit great on day one. They are incredibly easy to slip on and off, and I like how easy to clean they are. I thought the shoe would look too bulky and rugged due to the lugs on the bottom, but I was surprised that it looks great. I wear these casually and for some yard work. The lugs are great for dirt and wet spaces, and do not make walking hard on flat surfaces. I do not use these for running, but they are just as comfortable as my Cliftons.

They are comfortableand give great support. I had them on all day and they felt great. They also look great.

My husband loved it. If you have a wide feet, go for wide.

My first pair of Transports were so comfortable and stylish that I went out and bought a second pair then a third pair. Now I have beige, blue and white. I can wear them all day without any problems or lack of comfort.

There is a slilght pink tint to the shoe so returning.

These are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever purchased! I'm on my feet for 14 hours a day in my feet and back never get tired or hurt!

Look awesome.

Purchased as a gift and they love these.

Nice fit, very comfortable and I like the low key option colors of alabaster and white. Love the bungee lace closure synch system but I wish it had a male to female snap option when you bring the laces back through the elastic hoop and can secure the lace end tabs.
