Customer Reviews Hoka Transport GORE-TEX®

These sneakers were just as bad as you'd expect it. These were my first HOKA shoes and was excited to get them but day one trying them on they were just ok. My New Balance sneakers were way comfortable. I Coach Volleyball so i'm always standing and was hoping these would relieve some standing foot pain but it made it worse. These shoes are expensive too!!! If this is how HOKA rips people off then i'm never buying from them again and will prevent anyone from getting ripped off. I would rate this a ZERO but i can't

I ordered a size 13 and couldn't even get foot in the shoes

I initially bought this shoe for work, as it boasts a Vibram sole (supposedly extending the life of the sole), as well as other benefits it claims along with the Hoka namesake. Unfortunately, within two weeks, there was a clicking type sound coming from one of the shoes. It was annoying but ignored. Fast forward a few more weeks and one of the soles is bubbled and coming apart from the midsole. It's not worth the hassle of having to mail back the shoes for inspection before a warranty can be claimed, as I would be without shoes for work for that time frame. I am also not confident that a replacement pair would be any different as there are multiple reviews/comments similar to mine. Also, the support and comfort were not up to par for a simple 8 hour day; by the time I got home my feet were begging for other sneakers. Unfortunately having high hopes for this item has let me down and I will not be in a rush to purchase from Hoka again, as it just doesn't seem the quality and craftsman ship they claim is there.

I have 5 pair of Hokas in my closet, and pretty much wear them daily. This one, in my usual size, however, was way to narrow in the front end. The fabric had little stretch, so it was clear in a minute or two that they weren't for me...way too tight and painful.

Just as society determines what is fashionable or not, these shoes fail to meet the standards of desirability and comfort. It's sole is hard as a brick. Hoka's is not what I expect their shoes to be. Upon trying on Asics Nimbus and Novablast. I would never buy any Hoka's again!

Shoes are extremely tight in the toes, very uncomfortable

Not up to Hoka's usual standards, so I returned them. There were white flecks on the toes and soles, and all around the sides. They're supposed to be solid black.

Shoe is stiff and lumpy inside. My sketchers are much more comfortable

The shoe did not hold my foot anywhere near as well as the other HOKA pairs I own. It felt as if the sole was not molded correctly as my foot was uncomfortable and my toes were cramped and rubbed the top of the shoe.

Received the shoe and inspected it. Great color and design. However stitching was falling apart the the bottoms of the shoes were covered in some sort of white paint and white feathers. I had smelled it and it smelled used/ stinky socks Customer service offered exchange. This is the second time I had issues in a week with shoes showing up in bad condition.

I'm a huge fan of Hoka, but unfortunately this shoe fell flat. I will say it looks amazing however when you walk it sounds like you're wearing flip flops. It was so loud and annoying. Had to return them :( I hope this gets resolved as the entire design is very nice.

Couldn't get sneaker on because the uppers were way to stiff

I have six pairs of Hokas and love them all EXCEPT these. They are so tight my feet begin to throb. And there is no breathability. Same size as I always get but a totally different fit and feel. Sending them back..

To: Hoka and why I am returning the Transport GTX, Galaxy/Astral, 11.5 First, I should like to say I own a number of Hoka shoes because of the comfort, support and traction they provide ( FYI your Bondi leathers were the best). I purchase a pair of standard Transport at the local running shop, not for running, but for fair weather golf. The fit and finish is excellent. I visited your web-site and saw that there was a Gore-Tex version, the GTX. I purchased a pair of the GTX online anticipating a good shoe for wet conditions. The GTX's arrived, the fit was fine, but the thickness of the sole treat caused me concern compared to the standard Transports. A visual inspection of the GTX's told me the treat depth was about 1/2 the depth of the standard Transport. And I am not willing to buy a shoe with 1/2 the sole gone. I measured the tread depth on one shoe using a digital caliper on the GTX and the standard Transport. Here are the average depths (n = 5): Standard Transport; Heel depth: mean = 3.57 mm, Std. Dev = 0.13 Ball depth: mean = 3.48 mm, Std. Dev = 0.19 GTX Transport; Heel depth: mean = 2.22 mm, Std. Dev = 0.12 Ball depth: mean = 1.92 mm, Std. Dev = 0.10 Not quite 50 percent less, but enough to consider the GTX unacceptable. There is a quality issue with the GTX's JimInReno

Hey there Unfortunately the shoes are not doing great for me. I have always used your challenger goretex shoes and they were great. The goretex allowed for breathability while providing water proofing. These new transport goretex shoes don't breathe and and my feet end up drenched in perspiration. And that is just from walking around. I have to change socks multiple times a day.. The shoes are comfortable but don't give you any breathability. I am gonna have to go back to the challenger gtx

There are white speck marks everywhere on the bottom of both pairs of shoes. Is this normal? Or a sign of rushed manufacturing defect? Do better!
