Customer Reviews Hoka Transport

I bought these shoes for a trip to Tennessee. We walked around Nashville, Pigeon Forge, the Great Smokey Mountains, and Knoxville. I used them for walking and light hiking. They were really tight on the top of my feet. After a while they would be too painful to wear. I am nervous about wear them again but I may need to break them in. I tried to adjust the laces but they were always too tight. I wore running socks with them and still had issues.

I bought two pairs of Transports July 2025. They were black and beautiful. They are true to size and easy to put on. However, these shoes comfort doesn't last. I stopped wearing them because they hurt my feet walking and standing as of September 2025, I no longer wear them due discomfort and pain on my feet. In our experience, these shoes aren't made to be worn daily and for walking or long standing. Long periods of time I wouldn't buy them again and their cost is high.

I am currently in my second trimester and was told I needed more supportive footwear as my feet are flattening. That all being said, I still fit into all of my other shoes so I didn't stray to a larger size or wider width. With these shoes, I wish I had. My toes feel very compressed, however the look of these shoes is versatile and neutral. I would definitely purchase a wider size and half size up if I were to get these again.

They are cute, clean up well, but don't have as much cushions as the other Hokas I have bought. Not the shoes fault but just be aware

i got this in 7.5 wide but unfortunately it doesn't feel wide at all

they need to make an x-wide version of this shoe!

I have wide feet, and I wear Clifton10s in wide very comfortably. By comparison, the Transport in wide felt very narrow, and the low heel hit in an uncomfortable spot on my heel. Back to the Cliftons for me.

Three stars because I have to return these. Should have paid more attention to the reviews. 168 poeple said the shoe runs narrow. I ordered an 8 regular -- my normal size in other Hoka modelsm although my feet are slightly wide. This style was too tight for me and pressed painfully on a bunion. I've never had that problem in a Hoka, I own two pairs (in regular width) that were comfy right out of the box. This shoe rubbed against the back of my heel, too, even though the length was perfect, so it's not a function of being too short. I'm going to exchange for wides, and hope for the best. They are much lighter than my other Hokas (less padded? we'll see). I wanted them for everyday use and they seem designed for a college teacher like me who has to walk some distance across the campus every day. I'll review again once I get the wides. A note on this color -- I ordered "smoky quartz". It's lighter than pictured. I was expecting a deeper shade verging toward burgundy but it's more mushroom, with a silky finish. Very pretty, actually -- a useful neutral.

I was hoping these would work as a good daily walking around shoe since they aren't quite as chunky as the Clifton 9's I use in the gym. After putting them on the first time I immediately felt a lot of pain in my ankle and an old injury in my hip that rarely bothers me anymore. I was hoping it would go away after a bit and that it might just be retraining my joints with shoes that had better support, but after a little over a week I had to admit defeat. I stopped wearing them and the pain disappeared. The shoes were a bit stiffer than I often wear, so if you struggle with stiffer shoes, I'd try a different pair with more cushioning. If you do fine with stiff shoes, this one may be fine for you.

I purchased the eggnog and even sprayed them with the weatherproof type spray. My understanding was they were coated in something that helped prevent staining and was already weatherproofed. Well, first week I wore them to school and a student stepped on my shoe with his shoe and there's a scratch or discoloration on the eggnog that won't come out. I've tried everything and there is no shoe polish that matches the color exactly. These are also not as comfortable as I expected them to be compared to the Bondi or Clifton.

Only reason I gave 3 stars is bc the mesh gets dirty so fast.

I'm hypermobile and need shoes that keep my metatarsals from subluxating and provide enough stability with feedback to help me keep everything else in line. It's so hard to find understated, stylish shoes for everyday wear. I'd hoped the Transport might be it, but they barely felt like Hokas on. No rocker. Limited support. All style and no substance for me. Wish Hoka would make more lifestyle shoes, or whatever they call them, with better internal support but outward style.

I got these for everyday use turns out I'm not a fan. I've worn Hoka,'s for years, these aren't for me.

I love Hoka sneakers and wanted to try a different style and purchased the Transport. Although the style fit my feet, it was not a comfortable as my Clifton sneakers. The ankle area was not as snug as the Clifton. Sadly, I returned it.

I initially loved the style and comfort. Bought for upcoming summer trip to Europe where it will be warm. After wearing them multiple times to break them in pre-trip ( only 70 degree days) and my feet are ROASTING! I am not somebody who usually has hot feet but this material is not good. I wore them for. 2 mile walk annd got "hot spots" on my feet. I was even wearing breathable bamboo socks, hoping they would help. The upper layer I material is not breathable. I won't be taking these on the trip and actually wish I could return them. WINTER WEATHER SHOE ONLY!

I am a loyal Hoka girl! Clifton, Bondi; a pair for work; a pair for gym. This pair is bigger than I expected.
