Customer Reviews Hoka Transport GORE-TEX®

I have a small wide foot. I normally wear a 5 1/2 wide, I also have a bunion on my right foot so a wide is critical to my comfort. I wanted a waterproof walking shoe for a trip to Europe. I had a very hard time finding this in wide. I came across the Hoka Transport that came in wide. The Zappos site recommended sizing up 1/2 size so I did and went with a size 6. I am very please to report that they fit nicely. I have worn the Hoka Bondi and love them but they don’t have the waterproof version in wides. The transports do not have as much cushion as the Bondis but they still feel really good on my feet.

Fantastic shoe! So glad Hoka is making wide options. I wear a size 9 in a regular width shoe but since Hoka runs narrow I opted for the wide fit. So glad I did because they fit perfectly. When I travel to Europe, I can wear them every day and never worry if it rains. They are so comfortable! No need to put orthotics in either; the arch support is fantastic. Thanks for carrying these Zappos!

These shoes are exactly what I was looking for - a comfortable walking shoe that I could wear for walks at home and use for my primary walking shoe on trip to Scotland & Ireland this summer. I have to say, I already have 1 pair of the Hoka Transports (not GORE-TEX). I love them and hope the GORE-TEX version would be as wonderful. They are. NO breaking in required. Nice cushion but not the super thick soles that are so popular. They’ll go nicely with jeans or slacks as we travel. They’ll have a more “polished” look than regular athletic shoes. I ordered 1/2 size up and my regular size because so many review said the GOR-TEX version ran smaller and/or tighter. I’ve experienced that with other brands so it sounded likely. Not true for me. I have a 10.5 in regular Transort & the 10.5 in the GOR-TEX is perfect. Not at all smaller or tighter - in fact, I’d say the toe box area is actually a little bit bigger! Go figure. One thing I really love about the Transports - they are a bit on the narrow side and I have a foot that is a bit on the narrow side so I love, love, love them. Most shoes I buy in size 10.5 or 11 are way way to wide. Anyway, I think Hoka hit it out of the park with this one.

I have many size 8.5 Hoka shoes that fit great, with one size 9. This shoes was a 9, but felt more like an 8 Narrow! I'd need a Wide in a size 9.5 or 10. Which is crazy, especially since a Wide isn't offered.

These shoes had to go back because they were very narrow I the front of the shoe.
