Customer Reviews Hoka Transport GORE-TEX®

The toe box is much tighter in the toe box and height than my other pair which is why I repurchased Hoka. Because of the plastic kind of material they make a lot of noise when you take steps. The string keep on the end of the strings already came off. I really didn't like the feel of the soul of the shoes either. Will see if I can return this pair and try something else.

comfortable but feet are wet in light rain or walking in wet grass. not expected of a gtx

The strap across the top of the shoe tongue is too tight, even with the laces completely loosened. I returned the shoes.

Loved these at first, but the strap on my shoe broke in two months. Squeeky noise won't go away. Probably the worst hokas I've owned! Save your money for some different hokas.

I purchased these shoes and was excited. I put them on and went on the 12.5-mile walk I do daily. When I went to take my shoes off, the quick draw shoelace system that came with the shoe comletely broke. I had to swap them out for the laces completely. I knew eventually I would probably need to replace the quick-release laces that came with the shoes, I just thought for the price, they would last longer than 1 walk or 3 hours. Love the color and styling. Find them a bit snug width-wise.

I ordered the Transport GTX with hope that I could wear it on an upcoming vacation where rain is anticipated. I like the look and feel, but the right foot towbox cover tents down when walking and makes a very annoying snapping noise. I returned the first pair and received a replacement and low and behold, it has the same problem. I have worn HOKA shoes for years and know the size and fit well. I returned the Transport GTX again and will order another shoe model Challenger without Goretex even though it comes in GTX.

I've had a pair of transport GTX for over a year. My go to shoe for walking, sometimes hiking. So, I know it's a good product. My newly purchased pair left me puzzled. The left shoe sounded like a flip flop with. every. step! My return was easy, pretty sure the exchanged pair will be fine.

I've gone through two pairs in the past 6 months. Good cushioning, but they're terrible near any moisture. Your feet will be wet even when it's a light rain let alone on a trail. Also, the loud squeeking noise from the material on the bottom of the shoe will make everyone's head turn if you walk on anything but carpet indoors - like at the supermarket.

Wish I could save I love these "lifestyle" Hokas. I love my running shoes and my trail hiking versions but these fit differently and are more narrow. I can only wear them for short periods of time. Disappointed.

Front sole un-sticking after less than one week of use

So bummed because I LOVE my Hokas (have two pairs!!) but I bought these for my boyfriend and after two weeks the soles are already separating from the rest of the shoe. Not sure if this is a one-time thing or if all pairs are like this.

3 days after purchasing my transport GTX my left shoe started making a clicking sound whenever I tried to walk. It went away for a day then came back on and off. Very embarrassing when your walking at work and people hear you coming from a distance.

My transport 9.5 D bought from Cabel's are great!! Ordered online Transport GTX same size (9.5 D) and they were tight and too narrow; had to return them.

I always wanted a pair of "not so running shoe" look Hoka. I thought this would be the one. However after tried two pairs(sizing up 0.5 and 1 respectively) I had to return both. The sole is perfect, sweet balance of cushioning and support. Looks sleek as well, not as bulky as other models. But it makes this flip flop noise when walking, you can both hear and feel it. Deadly awkward when walking in a quiet place(such as your office) and extremely annoying when you walk alone on a trail. And then the fitting is also not friendly to people with wide feet. I sized up 1 fully size and it's still squeezing my feet with loosest laces. I hope they make a v2 which addresses both problems.

This is the first pair of Hokas I have bought, and I finally took the plunge because they were waterproof. My family all love Hokas and say they are really comfortable. Unfortunately these are not just uncomfortable, they are e painful to wear. I think it's the waterproof fabric on the front third of the shoe: it doesn't stretch at all and is so restrictive on my toes that I can't wear them for more than an hour. These were expensive shoes, so I keep trying to wear them, but next time I will opt for a version that is not waterproof.

Purchased the Transport GTX to replace the Rincon 3s I've been using for long-distance (4+ miles) daily walking workouts. I was surprised at how stiff and non-compliant they felt. I experienced an annoyingly loud "heel whack" (the same noise from which flip flops get their name) on my left foot that I couldn't adjust out. I've had several pairs of Rincon 3s and Bondi's and the Transports felt much narrower through to forefoot to the point that it created some irritation after 3-4 miles. I tried to be patient and used them for a couple of weeks to see if they'd stretch out but no luck. I returned them for exchange to Bondi 8s.

Nice looking shoe, but was way too narrow for me. I had to return, as they were not comfortable.

If stability is your thing, I suppose this is good. Comfort? Not a comfortable shoe. Has a strange feeling footbed. Very narrow. I normally wear 10.5 2E. These come only in D width, so I went for size 12, which works with Nike. Here? Nope, very narrow sneaker. Very disappointed. After "Dark Brandon" got a pair, which I guess he got for stability I thought I'd try a pair. I'll continue to look for support with comfort, which this shoe was a major disappointment for.

Love the look and style of the Transporter. Unfortunately, this particular model runs small. I would recommend sizing an entire size up. I have been wearing these shoes for approximately 2 weeks thinking that they will eventually stretch out, but that has not happened.

I wear extra wide shoes. For an upcoming Alaska trip waterproof shoes are highly recommended. These are very nice looking shoes & the laces are great. I can fit into these but am definetly cramped. But they are waterproof. I bought them & guess that i am stuck.

Stylish shoe and more stable than the Clifton 9. Unfortunately, the shoe is very snug around where the second shoelace loop is. I learned that this is because the tongue at that part of the shoe is sewn to the rest of the shoe. I even went up half an inch to adjust for this, but the shoe was still very uncomfortable. I only felt comfort once I cut the rest of the tongue away from the shoe, which defeats the purpose of the GTX. Also, because of the materials used to make the upper part of the shoe, the shoe makes a weird sound when I walk. The sound comes from where my feet and toes bend. Think of the sound rubber rain boots make as parts of it bends/collapses and goes back to its original form. If you ever find these GTX shoes in store, try it for yourself. Hold the heel in one hand, and the toes in the other. Simulate walking as you bend the heel or toes up.

The shoe is made for narrow feet. No options for wide sizes.
