HOKA  Transport Hike GTX Boots - Women's

I wore these for a hike today and was really impressed with how comfortable they were. My toes had plenty of room, and I didn’t have any rubbing or discomfort. I had to step through a few small creeks and puddles, and thanks to the GORE-TEX, my feet stayed completely dry. They also had great traction in the trail and felt supportive throughout the hike. And honestly I love that they’re cute enough to wear around town after the hike too! Overall, really happy with these boots and would definitely recommend them!

I received these Hoka Transport Hike GTX Boots for free as a part of a product testing promotion. These Hoka boots will definitely be a part of my regular hiking shoe rotation! They have an excellent footbed, great traction on the trail and left my feet happy - which can be a challenge as someone with wider feet and a previous orthopedic surgery. I also tested their waterproofing and had zero water seep through. I should note I did NOT immerse the entire shoe but did stand in water that reached the printed “Hoka” printed on the side. My only reason for 4 stars versus 5 is I did have some issues with the ankle fit. Throughout my hikes I noticed rubbing/irritation, but this is not uncommon for me with a mid-cut boot. I noticed slight loosening at the ankle especially when dealing with steep inclines and declines. Thus could probably be corrected with a tighter tie up front or a thicker sock, but worth mentioning if this is something you struggle with. Overall incredibly comfortable hiking shoe that gets the job done and looks good doing it.

After searching for the perfect hiking boot for quite some time, I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and features of the HOKA Transport Hike GTX. While I have tried various HOKA sneakers in the past without finding the right fit, these boots check several essential boxes for me: Vibram soles, excellent ankle support, and GORE-TEX waterproofing, which is a necessity for living in a wet climate. I also love the all black color, which makes them a bit more versatile for me. I initially worried that the size 9 might be too large for my narrower foot, but after a few uses the fit felt perfect. The toe box is ample, and the ankle eyelets allow for a very secure feel. Although I typically require a stability shoe, I have not experienced any support issues with these. If that changes, the interior is spacious enough to easily accommodate and insole. These boots have performed exceptionally well for both day, hikes and urban adventures. I especially appreciate the reflective details throughout the boot, which will be incredibly useful as the rainy season approaches.

I have worn Hokas for 10+ years. They are my favorite brand for the comfort and cushioning that my feet require. The engineers really missed the mark with the Transport Hike boot. There are stiff, heavy lumps at the gusset attachment on each side of the tongue. These hard lumps pressed painfully into my foot on each side. It's either poorly constructed or a bad design. I hope this issue is corrected in the future. I will be returning these. My old mid-ankle speedgoat boots have been the best, but they are worn and I need new boots. The new "mid" speedgoats are a joke with the neoprene collar, not at all like the prior ones. I hope someone at Hoka reads these reviews. I'm going to have to wear Keens.

I'm looking for a lightweight casual hiking shoe similar to the Keen NXIS and I tried on the Hoka Transport GTX in the store. I have to agree with Barbara's review about the material used for the gusset at the tongue. I am a loyal Hoka wearer and I would have bought these in the beautiful Grey Skies color except for the gusset painfully digging into the outside of my foot. It was easy to compare this flaw with similar shoes in the store which all used a softer material. I will be buying the Keen Targhee Apex shoe instead.

Surprised at how comfortable these were. I usually find ankle support restrictive but I found the support to be just right. It provided enough support while still allowing some mobility in my ankles. Toe box was roomy and there was enough cushioning.

I wanted to love these but as others mentioned. There is a flaw in the design of where the tongue attaches under the gusset. It is very painful on the top of the foot. I had to return them because they caused painful sores on the top of my foot.

I love Hokas! With fused big toes, they're my only option to stay active, with the rocker bottoms and thick soles (though other companies are starting to catch on). Regular Hoka Transports are my go-to, so I assumed the hiking boot would be a match made in heaven. But I have to agree with other reviewers on the stiff, painful gusset seams. I almost returned them, but decided to see if I could break them in, or get used to them. After a few painful walks, they're bearable and I think I'll keep them, but please fix this for future models!

Very comfortable and warm, nice traction for trail walking and just the right amount of ankle support. I got them for travel bc i didn't want to bring heavy boots and they were just right. Would recommend for Hallux Rigidus; i was able to walk all day with no pain. True to size.

These hiking shoes/boots are so comfortable and I cannot recommend them enough. Not sure about the reference to the seams. I don't experience that at all. Maybe it was corrected by Hoka recently.
