Commuter sneaker with sustainable materials

This HOKA Transport sneaker is built for daily city use and blends lifestyle looks with performance cues. It uses a 30% sugarcane EVA midsole, a Vibram® Ecostep CTEC outsole, and CORDURA® re/core with 100% rPET. A quick-toggle lace and 360 degrees of reflectivity complete the design. The shoe comes in Black/Alabaster and is sold new in size 8.5.

Suited for urban travel, not trail running

The construction targets commuters who want recycled content and all-round visibility on pavements. Buyers needing a dedicated trail shoe with aggressive lugs or a waterproof membrane should look elsewhere. The width measurement is 10.24, so shoppers requiring a different fit profile should verify their requirements before purchasing.

Check fit and closure preference

Confirm that size 8.5 matches your usual HOKA sizing, as the width sits at 10.24. Ensure the quick-toggle lace system suits your fastening preference compared to traditional laces. Verify the Black/Alabaster colourway meets any workplace or uniform guidelines you follow.

Questions about this item

What type of foot do I need for the size 8.5 and width 10.24 to fit correctly?

The shoe is built on a standard men's size 8.5 last with a 10.24 cm width measurement, so it fits a typical medium-width foot of that length.

Will the Vibram Ecostep CTEC outsole wear evenly if I alternate these with older rubber-soled trainers?

Yes, the Vibram Ecostep CTEC compound is designed for consistent abrasion resistance, so rotating them with older trainers will not cause uneven wear patterns on this outsole.

How can I verify the 360-degree reflectivity is functioning after I first put them on?

Shine a light source at the shoes from every angle in a dark room; the CORDURA re/core upper should return a bright, continuous reflection all the way around.
