Customer Reviews Hoka Transport GORE-TEX®

My foot size is 12 but decided to go half size up and ordered two pairs in size 12.5. The Reg Transport fits perfectly but the GTX runs smaller and hurts my toes so I gave it away! Order a full size up in the GTX version!

I've purchased countless number of HOKA running shoes for the past 8 years. My go-to line is the Challenger ATR after the Clifton re-design years ago. I was looking for a walking shoe with the familiar HOKA feel that was also able to withstand the PNW weather. The HOKA Transport GTX fits the bill. I've had the shoes now for a couple of months and am incredibly happy with them. They are extremely comfortable, great for walking and hold up to the elements. Time will tell how they hold up, but after many many miles so far, they still look like they do on day one. I haven't experienced the squeaking that other reviewers have. I really like how they slip on and tie. Overall, if you are looking for a great walking shoe for not so sunny weather this is a shoe for you

Got my true size but it's a little bigger

I thought this shoe was very suitable for traveling. I usually wear size 8.5. After receiving the shoe, I felt it was a little small, so I changed to size 9. It is very comfortable to wear, but it is a little narrow in the front, which is not a problem.

Bought for my husband. He liked it very much. Hopefully more quick toggle laces options for most shoes for the young at heart that hates tying laces. He just wished it has more cushion/ plushier.

I bought this shoe for walking (exercise). The shoe was very tight upon arrival so now I see why they added loops at the heel to assist with pulling them on. This is NOT a slip om shoe. However, onve on and tightened, they provide a secure feel to your feet. The shoes have stretched somewhat and are much easire to get on and off after a bit of break in time.

This new gor tek style is nice but to tight. Need to make a wide size.

This shoes is very comfortable. The only problem i have is that its to narrow for a regular width. I have no problem with my other HOKA shoes that are regular in width.

Pros: - Fully waterproof (I dumped 8 cups of water on them) - comfortable (I have plantar fasciitis, these shoes do not hurt my feet) - breathable, they don't make my feet sweat Cons: - The tongue of the shoe is not wide enough, there is a very, very tiny spot where water WILL leak through on both shoes and get on your socks. - Almost like a leather shoe, the fabric gets wrinkles. I am a 11 in woman's and bought the men's 9.5 and it fit well. Go with your real shoe size. these shoes do stretch when you break them in.

The fit is more snug than other Hoka's I've owned. I usually go with Speedgoats and wanted to try something different. Way stiff sole than I'm use to and taken way more time to break in. I ruck daily with 25lbs 4 /5 miles so these should have been feeling better by now. I have 4 weeks with about 125 miles. Going back to SpeedGoat's.

The shoe is great but continues to have various toe box widths! This one too narrow. Why I don't know. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Wide was tight

Purchased this as a general purpose shoe in inclement weather. I haven't been able to put it through its paces in terms of its weatherproof-ness or durability. Cushioning is solid. Grip is great. I love the quick toggle laces, and the general appearance of the shoe. Being Gore-Tex, it is of course warmer than a non-weatherproof shoe, and you feel it the most after a long day with your shoes on. My biggest complaint is the snugness of the mid-foot area. Even with the laces fully loosened, it is very snug on the top of the mid-foot area in a way I have not often experienced in any other shoes. I do not have a high-volume foot, nor is the shoe otherwise too small, as I have sufficient room in the toe-box and in front of my toe as well. It was not quite a deal-breaker - I am willing to see if it further loosens up on break-in, and I otherwise like the shoe. But for me it's a notable issue.

The shoe is well made, but for a men's wide, this was much narrower than I expected. It is especially narrow over the arch and instep. As a woman with a wide foot I was told that a men's shoe in my size would be the equivalent to a women's wide and a men's wide like a women's extra wide. This certainly was not the case with these shoes. I am able to wear them, but they begin to hurt my feet after a period of time.

I loved the wide fit and happy Hoka has been adding more wide models to their product line. In the past, it was only New Balance that had a decent wide shoe. And living in Miami, Gore-tex is a must. However, after 6 months, the pull-on loop broke after normal use. I only buy shoes with a pull-on strap or loop. I submitted a warranty request to replace but a bit worried they haven't fixed the quality issue.

Shoes just arrived. Nice looking and seem well made, but they feel very narrow and cramped at toes. Will return.

These are very plush. They work well as walking and running shoes for me. My only concern with them is they make an annoying plopping noise somewhere near the toe box. This noise has persisted since the first time wearing them. I was hoping they would break in however the noise is consistently there every step I take. It happens as I'm completing the walking motion and rolling off the toe box into my next step.

Comfortable. Well-cushioned. Nicely built. But calling these shoes "waterproof" is fiction. I stepped outside in light rain for three minutesa walk to the mailbox and back. When I returned, my socks were completely soaked. Not damp. Not borderline. Soaked. If a Gore-Tex shoe can't survive a brief drizzle without failing, the waterproofing claim is meaningless. These may be fine as dry-weather trainers, but they are absolutely unreliable in rain. Disappointing performance from a shoe that markets itself on protection.

If your feet sweat at all do not buy this shoe. Once there is any moisture on the inside of the shoe, the shoes start squeaking. They're very comfortable and because of that I refunded and tried a 2nd pair and they squeak the exact same.
