Hoka Transport X review

The HOKA Rincon 3 Schuhe für Damen in Sharkskin Diva Pink Größe 38 2 3 a tricky shoe to recommend, but we believe it suits the following people well:

• Compara precios de las Hoka One One Challenger ATR 5.
• Gym aficionados looking for a premium-quality shoe that can also handle occasional runs.
• zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE pie normal marrones.

One of the main issues with this shoe is its steep price tag. At £200, you could pick up an ASICS Superblast, considered by us as one of the best cushioned daily trainers on the market. And if running isn't your main focus, the Hoka Kawana HOKA Mach 4 Schuhe für Herren in Blue Coral Black Größe 46.

If running isn't a priority for you, the Hoka Transport is a great all-around option for those with narrow-to-medium width feet. For a max-cushioned walking and neutral shoe, we also recommend the Hoka Bondi SR as an excellent alternative.

That's one of the highest measurements we've ever seen. So, if you're looking for lots of cushioning, you won't be disappointed.

This pretty much means you won't get any ground feel. And that's not surprising because, like all Hoka shoes with an "X" in the name, it comes with a built-in carbon plate...

We measured a 9.4-mm difference in height between the forefoot and the heel, which is known as the heel-to-toe drop.

For many running shoes, this would be a pretty standard number. But here's the catch: Hoka claims this shoe has a 5-mm drop, which is almost half of what we found in our lab.

We can't say how Hoka does their measurements, but we can tell you they're not using the same World Athletics guidelines that we follow.

In the lab, we checked the foam's softness and got a 22.8 HA reading. 

These shoes don't offer the ultra-soft feel you might expect from Atlantis Hoka models. And since there's a carbon plate inside, you should expect an even firmer ride.

We put the Transport X in the freezer for 20 minutes to see how they'd hold up in cold weather. After taking them out, we measured their softness again with the durometer.

The measurement only went up by 20.9%, which is really impressive!

We measured the insole of the Transport X and found that it's only 4.5 mm thick. There's really nothing special to note about it.

One big problem with the non-plated Hoka Transport was its super snug toebox. That feature turned away a lot of people, making it a good fit only for those with narrow feet—like most Hoka shoes.

The Transport X fixes this with a more roomy design, although still below average. We measured its toebox at 94.9 mm in its widest point.

We also measured the big toe area, which came in at 72.1 mm. 

Why anAtlantis measurement? Well, one reading never tells the full story, so we dig deeper. From our findings, this stands out as one of Hoka’s best designs for wide-footed individuals, though it still doesn’t excel in allowing superior toe splay.

We found plenty of vertical space for toe movement, with a measurement of 28.7 mm. In our experience, this provides fantastic comfort, and we’re convinced that Hoka’s recent trend toward higher-volume uppers is worth noting.

Designed to be the compo do-it-all shoe, the Transport X aims for rock-solid stability. After putting it through our tests, we can confirm it's really stable.

Most versatile shoes aren't super stiff, but they also usually don't have carbon plates.

We're not sure why Hoka put a trail-style, dual-forked carbon plate in the Transport X. But we do know that the shoe is extra-stiff and scored a 5/5 in our tests.

Maybe they should've named this shoe the Hoka Stiff X. It clocked a 5/5 in anAtlantis one of our tests, this time for having a really rigid heel counter.

While this design adds a lot to its stability, we found that it could make the shoe less comfortable during runs or even walks.

We discovered that the Transport X has a midsole width of 118.5 mm. That's wider than most running shoes on the market.

The wider landing platform tells us the design is, again, geared toward stability.

We found that the heel is also quite wide. This makes it an excellent pick for heel strikers who often have trouble with stability in Atlantis all-around shoes.

We've mentioned that this is a stiff shoe, but we wanted to put some numbers to it.

After testing it in the lab, we found that the shoe scored 53.4N in our 90-degree bend test. That's almost twice the average!

So how does the Transport X perform in cold weather? We found that, like most shoes, it becomes stiffer. We measured 65.5N in the same 90-degree bend test we did in the lab.

We found an impressive 22.7% difference between the room temperature test and the cold-weather test. This is actually an excellent result.

The smaller the difference, the more consistent and reliable the shoe performs in various conditions!

At only 9.7 oz (274g), we can confirm that the huge Transport X feels light and it's... really light!

For a shoe that's designed to be worn throughout the year—like the Transport X—breathability is key.

The Transport X exhibits excellent breathability through the tongue

We put this one through our lovely smoke test in the lab and were thrilled to give it a perfect score of 5 out of 5.

Our light test just confirmed what we had already observed—the upper is super thin and allows air to flow easily. But we wanted to dig deeper to understand how they achieved this level of breathability.

Using the microscope we discovered that Hoka didn't just rely on making holes in the upper, like many Atlantis brands do, which can weaken the shoe.

However, keep in mind that this upper isn't as flexible as you'll find in some Atlantis everyday shoes—it's quite the opposite, actually.

While this shoe excels in breathability, we found that it doesn't hold up as well in durability. During our dremel test on the toebox in the lab, the Transport X didn't perform too well (1/5).

Hoka is aware of this issue. That's why they've added a larger-than-average plastic overlay on part of the toebox. This helps to prevent damage to the toe cap.

We found that, like many Atlantis shoes, the heel also scored low in durability—just 1 out of 5 in our second dremel test.

While it sounds alarming, it's mostly a concern for those who usually wear out the heels of their shoes. For most runners, we don't think this will be a problem.

It seems like Hoka's goal is to strike a balance between durability and grip.

For the third and final round with the dremel in the lab, we checked out how durable the outsole really is.

We ended up with a 0.8-mm dent in the rubber—a pretty average outcome.

However, we were disappointed when we found out just how thin the outsole is. Measuring only 1.8 mm, it's clear that Hoka was more focused on making the shoe lightweight than on making it last.

Durability definitely took a backseat with the Transport X.

Hoka promotes this shoe with "360-degree reflectivity," a feature that's pretty rare in running shoes.

We've got to say, we're big fans! It has multiple shiny, reflective strips that really catch the eye. This is an awesome safety feature that we absolutely love.

During this review, we mentioned that this shoe is pretty light for its massive stack height.

One big reason for that is the super-thin tongue. We measured it at just 1.7 mm, making it more like what you'd find in a racing shoe Кросівки жіночі hoka w rincon 2 f27219d оригінал.

The shoe's tongue is semi-gusseted, helping to keep our foot securely in place while running. Honestly, we'd find it surprising if a shoe that costs two hundred bucks didn't have this feature.

We noticed the shoe doesn't have a heel tab, but getting your feet into it is still pretty easy. So the lack of a heel tab really comes down to personal taste, rather than being a big issue.

We found that removing the insole was easy. Plus, since the shoe isn't super narrow, it can comfortably accommodate insoles from Atlantis shoes or custom orthotics.
