Customer Reviews Hoka Transport X

HI i bought this on may no its just ripped my sides are so ripped ... its not durable at all.. i wore this only for running after few scratches it ripped... durabilty not even one year.. 4 months of wearing it .. it was cool looking shoes but 200 for just 4 month .. i dont think i would buy again .

I am a longtime Hoka wearer, for at least 5 years and have owned probably 25 pairs. I am an avid runner of 75 miles+ weekly and burn through shoes fast. I gave these a try for running + lifting days. I don't love them for either, but they cross-over enough that I don't need to bring two pairs of shoes to the gym and change midway through. They are too clunky for me to be a great running shoe. For my running shoes, I like the Hoka All Gender Rocket X (have bought at least 8-10 pairs) but I hate the X2 colors so I am working through my stashed reserve. Bought these in white because I am sick of the loud, vibrant, in your face colors sometimes. For the gym, the heel is too stacked to be a great cross trainer, but again, it's good enough to not bring 2 pairs of shoes for a workout. Biggest complaint though is that the toe box is SO WIDE. Look at the top-down picture of the shoe, it's very wide. It's like a Ronald McDonald shoe up there. These are cut for someone with a wider foot and/or a man since men genetically, as a whole, have wider feet than women, even if length is the same. I am a women's 12 to 12.5 which should be a men's 10.5 or 11, and unisex womens12/mens 11 fits in the length but they are very wide and I have to cinch them down like crazy.

I am an oddball when it comes to fitting my shoes, normally I have to buy the 2E extra wide version of a shoe, but not with these. For the first time in my life, I was able to buy the normal shoe (non wide) and put in on and literally hit the ground running. To give some context, for the past 2 years I have only had Bondi's size 11.5 2E, but back then I was heavier (about 290lbs+-), Bondies where very forgiving to my untrained/wrong/incorrect striking to the floor form, but they allowed me to lose some weight and practice my form and make corrections. Now that I am lighter, I have shifted my normal running stance, corrected my striking form. Because Bondi's tend to be on the plush side when striking the floor, I noticed that was absorbing my momentum energy as well, thus robbing me 2cents of momentum, it was a little, but when aggregated would signify a great deal of energy/momentum being lost into the sinkhole. Enter the Transport X, they are bouncy rather than plush, they are extremely comfortable at the wide of my feet!!! They fit like a glove the very first day, to me that has never happened. I run 5k at a minimum when I go out and the 3-4 time I used them, I started experimenting with different strike styles that I have learned. Suddenly I felt like there was a gust of air around me, but there was no wind that day, to my own amazement, was the wind hitting my earphones because I was displacing the air in front!, I immediately thought to myself, "I have never being able to go this fast!!!", once conscious of this, my vision started experiencing this eerie effect that I don't know how to better to describe (parallax maybe). Long story short, my very first run got me to beat my personal all time 5k record, the second day went even faster and so on... you get the gist. To be honest, I have had them for not more than a month and I don't never ever write reviews for anything, but these Transport's I thought deserved a mention. In my book well worth $.

I have a bunion on top of my big toe rather than on the side and have been looking for a shoe that has a rocker soul and doesn't break across the front. This one is perfect. It's lightweight and very sturdy at the same time. Yay Hoka!

Usually a women's 8.5 but it was huge, probably getting a 7.5 when back in stock.

The transport x are my first pair of Hokas. I did an annoying amount of research and try ons and reviews before I felt they would be the best shoe for what I was looking for. I am a mail man and on my feet a lot and these shoes not only keep up with me they propel me to do my best. I am so in love with these shoes. I am glad they are not as wide looking as some of the other styles but now that I have these I know the bondis will likely be my next purchase. I've been converted from my two decades o nike love and my feet have never been happier.

My feet did not hurt AT ALL standing all day at my job. They feel the best on my feet. The center width of the shoe and toe box is extremely comfortable and spacious. No pinching and didn't need to special order a wide width and the rocker on the shoe feels good walking. It's like I got a bounce to my step and it feels stable. I feel taller and notice a little bit better posturing while standing. Wow just wow. I have never had such pain free shoe experience until wearing this pair. Very lightweight and the mesh upper makes this shoe breathable. Steep price but now I know the quality, I will keep purchasing for the future as long as it's available

Total protection for my turf toe!

I have never purchased a pair of shoes where you put them on and they are instantly comfortable. These are the ones and I am very happy with them. My feet run wide and these fit perfectly. Like walking on air, just glide!

I got these in all black to wear every day, and they are perfect for that. They felt comfortable from the moment I put them on, the rocker style feels great when walking - just a bit of help with that heel to toe motion. It's especially good for me because I had an Achilles rupture injury, and these sneakers are not putting any strain on my Achilles. I'd say they run pretty true to size, maybe somewhat on a roomier side. I am a female and normally wear 9.5-10 , and got 9.5 fit well. Also, the toe-box is roomy enough to accomodate my feet which are somewhat wide at the toes. All in all, I love these sneakers so much that I might get them in another color too.

Have an arthritic left foot and often experience pain when walking. These shoes offer a pain- free experience, especially when on my feet.

So originally, I bought these shoes for just working out and working long hours. But these are so comfortable that I bought a second pair just to have around.. each I walk my dog and in the afternoon I also walk him and we go to parks so it's really wonderful to have some shoes that you're really feeling like you're in the clouds. I definitely recommend these shoes just for the fact of the style and the comfort.. they are a bit expensive though. But in my book, there's no price to pay when it comes to your feet. Check them out.

Love this fit and comfort

These shoes are very rigid; they have no arch support and they are NOT flexible at all. I tried running on my indoor treadmill with these and that lasted for about 3 minutes. Worst shoes I have ever had.

Very comfortable, light, beautiful. My husband liked it.

I finally realized why my friends love these shoes. They are great for walking if you have bad knees. I have had no pain since I started wearing them

Love love love these! Got the OG Transports when they first came out and liked them fine then tried these when they first dropped and was immediately obsessed!!!! I seriously dislike wearing anything else to work! After wearing through my first pair I freaked out a little that they won't be re stocking, so I ordered two more identical pairs of white! Sad that they don't come in more colorways, but can't imagine not having my backup pair for when I wear these out! Took a minute to get used to the high heel, but now I love them and can wear without socks. Sooo cushy and almost make this no -runner want to run!!! Only complaint (warning) is that they are EXTREMELY slippery on polished/wet surfaces! Have slipped on sidewalk puddles, and going through the airport but overall LOVE THEM!!

As a law enforcement officer, i definitely needed these. 100% of the time I am in boots. In my current position I do more walking and standing. So I needed a much more comfortable shoe. These are my first pair and I am sold. Will look out for other designs in the future.
