HOKA’s Transport sits in the brand’s everyday, city-friendly end of the range, pitched more at commuting and all-day wear than pure road racing. It’s the sort of trainer that competes with other “walk-all-day” silhouettes from the big running brands, but with HOKA’s typically cushioned feel and a tougher outsole choice thanks to the Vibram sole.

Who will get on with the Transport?

If you want one pair to cover errands, travel days and lots of time on your feet, the Transport’s mix of cushioning and grip makes sense. The Vibram outsole is the headline here: it’s chosen for traction and durability, so it should cope better with damp pavements and repeated miles than many fashion-first trainers. Just note the sizing is limited to UK 5.5 and 7 in this listing, so it’s more of a “right size, right time” find than a full size run.

  • Vibram outsole for longer-wearing grip underfoot
  • HOKA cushioning aimed at reducing fatigue on long days
