Customer Reviews Hoka Transport

I've been wearing them for a couple weeks now, since wearing them my heels and feet hurt, not as comfortable as I thought they would be. I liked the style and the look but not happy with the comfort.

Rubber by my toes is splitting apart

I have been buying Hoka for years due to 5-ft surgeries and plantar fasciitis. Sometimes it's frustrating to only be able to wear sneakers, so I was really hoping this shoe would look more like a leather shoe. It does not, it has no arch support at all and has a strange wrinkle in the fabric upper right behind the inside ball of your foot because there is no arch support to take the slack out of the fabric. The shoe sole also curves up in the front which isn't really noticeable in the pictures. It was just not at all the usual Hoka quality shoe that I get. I'm definitely returning it, I did order a half size larger and that was appropriate. I hope they continue to work on this shoe. The idea was great. The execution not so much

I live my life wearing Hokas. I wear them for everyday wear. I have bilateral arthritis in my knees, plantar fasciitis and bulging discs in my back so I need them for support and comfort. I noticed that wearing Hokas has helped tremendously with my back and foot pain. I bought the Transports specifically for walking as they came up in my search as walking shoes. I anticipated that they'd be soft and cloud-like, like my Bondi 7s but they're are not. They're firm and not really that comfortable. They're true to size. I really like the way they look and was excited to add them to my comfort shoe lineup but they don't do it for me.

I like the look and feel of the Transports, but the clicking sound from left shoe continues to bother me. Not sure I would buy these again. Decided not to return, so living with the "click" but not liking it.

I couldn't even get these all the way on, the heel was so stiff and tight. I have other (older) Hokas and they aren't like this.

Conveniently, about 3 months after purchase, the lace keeper tore on one side (on one shoe). Seems it wasn't sewn very well. The shoes get worn very little - about once every 2 weeks so it wasn't excessive wear. Just poor workmanship. I buy a lot of Hoka shoes but will not buy these again.

I loved these snickers when I saw them! But a year later, after having only wear them 4 times, they discolored. The white parts turned pink and it doesn't look cute. Since it was after the year warranty, customer service couldn't do anything. The shoe is very comfortable and cute, I just hate that this happened so if you're considering buying, just have that in mind because I didn't know.

I've been buying Hoka speed goats for several years in 7 wide. When the speed goat 6 came out, the 7 wide was a lot narrower that the 5's. Had to size up to 7.5 wide, slips off the heel a little but doable. I need room in the toe box and these shoes were the most comfortable I've ever worn. However, they didn't last too long as a lot of my walking/hiking is on pavement. Went to road runner sports, tried the 7 wide cliftons, too tight. Tried the 7.5, wide, still snug. Decided to order the transports online. 7.5 wide. narrower than the cliftons or speed goats. I don't know if Hoka is having their shoes made somewhere else the last couple of years where they have super narrow feet and a wide to them is just regular width? Super disappointed and will now have to look for my new favorite wide width brand.

I've purchased many different name brands of tennies over the years. Always in search of a box fit that would not irritate the throbbing corn on my pinkie toe. My first Hoka purchase were the Challenger 7. These were very comfortable for walks and the wide width is great! I then purchased a pair of the Gaviota 5. These are AMAZING I must say. I wore them so much I wanted to try a more casual looking shoe not an athletic shoe. I really liked the style of the Transport and ordered them in a 9 wide. They were delivered yesterday and I wore them out last night and uh, super disappointed. Well, I'll start with the positives. They are stable enough for long walks, the toggle laces are easy to adjust, and I really appreciated the sustainability of the resources used in making these shoes. Now the negative. The shoe box is not wide as promised. I broke my right ankle years ago and that foot has become wider over the years. As a result, I've developed this corn on my pinkie toe that is extremely sensitive. Once I put the shoes on last night, I just knew maybe these aren't going to work after all. But I figured both other styles of my Hokas are great. Well, by the end of the night, my corn was sending it's angry pulses when my shoes are too tight. I'm super bummed out. Nice try though....

This is my first pair of Hoka shoes. I am not as impressed as I should be. My feet are getting corns, and hurt after my 4 mile walk. A lot disappointed!

With all the buzz about this brand, I decided to give it a try. I do not wear wide shoes so the normal width should have been fine but they weren't. They are only wearable with thin socks. Considering the price point the shoes should not have disappointed.

Too tight. Too small so disappointed

Comparing to Bondi 7 & 8 Good: The mid-section of the shoe is not as wide so it doesn't look like a clown shoe. I like the "waterproofed" fabric so, presumably, they won't suck up rain and moisture and perhaps will not be as cold in the winter. I like the "easy ties." Bad: Stiff. Not at all the "cushy feel" I like on the Bondi.

Compared to the Bondi 8, this shoe fits a lot more narrowly and snugly. I normally wear 8.5 or 9. I tried this in 8.5 regular and 9 wide. Both times, it was very tight. I had to return/exchange both times.

I returned these and bought my second pair of Bondi's. It also is very long and makes my feet look weird. For my foot, which I came out of a boot this summer, it hurts to walk for an extended amount of time.

The platform Is too high and too soft for me. Also, a slight tendency for me to tip backward.

I shoes don't fit as described!

For some reason the sneakers I received were marked with a B, which I believe means narrow. I didn't order a narrow size. I expected to receive a regular width shoe. The fit is too snug for comfort.

This would be my fifth pair of Hoka's but this model is very difficult to wear:(

Ordered these in a wide and wanted them to work out so badly because these would be great for commuting and as a casual shoe. Unfortunately the toe box is not wide enough and these pinched a great deal to the point I had to take them off after 5 mins of walking around. Would not recommend for those with bunions or arthritis in your foot.

My third pair of Hokas. My first in Traveler line. Had I not known they were Hokas, I would have assumed I was wearing cheap shoes. Hoka dropped the ball on this line. Attractive but not a shoe I would wear for extended period of time like I do with my other Hokas.
