Customer Reviews Hoka Transport

These shoes look great and feel great! However they make a noise as I walk. Not a squeak but the fabric where the shoe folds as I walk makes a loud noise that is annoying. I regret buying them!

Given Hoka's reputation for cushioning and being an overall great athletic shoe, I was expecting more from the Transport shoe. I bought these shoes specifically for a trip to Japan, knowing that I would be on my feet all day and expecting 20,000+ steps daily. The shoe started nice, but I noticed over time that support was lacking, and the cushioning was not up to par compared to Asics. I ended up with heel pain and some foot cramping that led to me to purchase another pair of shoes while on my trip. This is an OK shoe for light daily wear, but definitiely not something for all day walking.

I have loved all three of my Bondi Hokas. This Transport I don't like at all. The toe box is tight, unlike others, and hurts my foot. I also do not like the lacing system. I won't be buying another pair of Transports but will stick with the Bondi.

Narrow and stiff least favorite yet

Like the fit but in outside daylight they are partially blue.

I purchased a 9.5 Transport EE it feels too tight .. doesnt even feel like a regular 9.5. I think there's a design flaw! I don't like this shoe!

I'm sure this doesn't apply to all their shoes however I'm reviewing my experience. The fit was okay.The uncontrollable squeak that alerts everyone 8n the office that I'm coming is a feature I can do without. I would expect this from an inexpensive sneaker. If you are going to charge a premium for your shoes, ensure your quality control is on par. Unfortunately, I didn't start using these shoes until after the return date so I'm stuck with "squish, squish, squish!"

Got these shoes because I liked the color/style and the apparent practicality of the shoe. I got standard sizing, since I don't usually buy wide shoes. I'd say the standard size is made for narrow or low-volume feet, so the wide sizing is probably more appropriate for standard feet. I'm not sure if people with actual wide feet can feel comfortable in this shoe. I think the shoe suffers from low volume mostly, because if I remove the insole then it actually ends up feeling much more comfortable. In my case, they don't have the color I like in Wide sizing, so I ended up finding some very thin insoles and that has helped the sizing issue.

The right shoe is pinching my right toe. The shoes were comfortable and enjoyable for the first two weeks. I have switched back to my Nike's :(

This was my first HOKA purchase. I researched some of the best walking shoes and these came up high on many lists. I'm really pleased with the fit and comfort, but as many other reviews have stated, they are a really noisy shoe. It's more of a "squishing" sound than a higher squeak, but it's audible. You can hear me coming around the corner for sure. It's pretty annoying. I love the shoe otherwise, but for the price point and noise they make, had to give it a three star.

Fit is tighter than my other pairs of Hoka.

I purchased these for my child. The stitching around near where the holes through which the shoelaces are threaded were loose when we received the sneakers. The shoes themselves are wonderful, but the stitching was loose with pieces sticking up and some threads were cut and the stitches were broken. When the loose threads were pointed out, I could still return the shoes. I requested a replacement, but nothing ever came and I proceeded to hope for the best since the shoes are nice. 3 months later, the threads that were initially loose are drooping and hanging down! The only failure of these shoes is the stitching that was frayed and loose on day 1--the stitches proceeded to unravel. I requested a warranty return. I had trouble submitting the form. Hopefully, I can resolve this as I like this brand and this shoe style in particular.

Love the shoes overall but seems the laces give me some discomfort. I am hoping they just need broke in.

Daily walking, need better sole inserts

I really liked the sea moss green size 13 transports but had to return them because the toe box was so much narrower than all of the other Hoka's I own. This color was not available in wide or I would have exchanged them.

I've been looking into different shoe brands last few months. Learned and heard the hype around Hoka's and was time for a change. Upon trying different brands and type to narrow my search. Even stopping at a Hoka store in Oahu,HI during my vacation (great customer service btw). I bit the bullet and decided to purchase when I returned home for an event. Being 1st time owner of Hoka, I took advantage of the free expedited shipping and was excited! Next day, found out it will arrive the day after the event I was planning on using it for. Spoke with Customer service. Was unfortunately very unhelpful and provided no solace to why my purchase was not considered expedited shipping after sharing multiple copies of invoices as evidence. Shoes are good. Glad to have tried em physically before purchasing. But I really don't see the hype around it. The first impression on this purchase, customer service, and its delayed shipping, really soured my experience with this brand..
