I have tried Hoka in the store but never thought enough of them to buy a pair. It’s always just been too much shoe for me. The Rocket X was the closest I have come to getting into a pair, but it was a very strange fitting shoe, being very narrow and straight lasted. Well along comes the Transport X! It doesn’t t seem to have a lot in common with the Transport line, which is more hiking and trail oriented. So let’s get into it…

Thanks for the breakdown, due to you being one of the only reviews out, you got my sub. Good work 👍
Wow. I am impressed with the technical shoe knowledge across so many brands and the thoroughness of your reviews including the science behind them 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words. Lots of reviewers are great at reading what they are sent. I try to go from the viewpoint of a designer who is a lifelong athlete-which I’m both. It’s difficult to stand out in the hype and media production of it all, so I just do it for the love of it. Thank you again 🙏🏾
I’ve been waiting for this review. And did is the only review on this new hoka. Thanks 😎
I’m floored that I had the first review on this shoe. Thanks 🙏🏾
Thanks for getting this review out so quick. First review on UA-cam!
Oh wow, really?! That’s pretty exciting! Thanks for letting me know that 🙏🏾✌🏾
Great review - glad you like it! Stack is 30-35 without insole. Insole is 4x4mm
Thanks Robert! Do you by chance work for Hoka?
I’ve been looking at the Transport GTX as my first HOKA. I’ve pretty much stayed with the Saucony Shadow series for the most part but this new GTX caught my eye.
I’m going to get a pair of these for Lawn Bowls. Most Lawn Bowls shoes are based around a walking platform. The super flat sole is a great change up that makes this work for that sport.
Did you grab a pair?
@@RDQLUS I did and they have been brilliant. Pricey compared to other brands but imo worth it.
You're literally the only person that review interesting yet functional shoes. Im a 200lbs runner. So far the only shoe that works for me is the Prime X Strung. Would you do a performance review by any chance even if its a 3 mile run? I am really interested in these for commuting to work
I really appreciate that 🙏🏾
So you’re asking about a performance review of the Prime X Strung, or these Transport X? I can tell you, these Transport X’s are phenomenal! Easily the most overlooked shoe on the market right now, because Hoka mis-advertised them. They are literally a do it all shoe. I’ve done a morning workout of intervals and plyos, coached that same day where I put in nearly a half marathon of walking and jogging around a track meet, and then wore them out to dinner that evening. They don’t even make sense being this good!
Brilliant thanks, yeah sorry I meant the Hokas. I commute to work by running. Thanks for the reply will definitely give them a go. Just picked up the Li Ning Soulland collab for a £100 here in the UK. Keep up the great work
Great video, thanks. How does the HOKA TRANSPORT X compare to the On Running Cloudstratus 2.0 ?
For me it’s better than any On shoe below the Cloudmonster level. The cushion and support are top tier.
I'm not a runner but im a super active guy. I always look for cushy sneakers because I need to take care of my lower back. I'm going through some PF with heel spur now and the Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 have been the best in mitigating my pain. I'm looking for some other thick and cushy soled kicks and hoping these Hoka Transport X fit the bill.
They are a bit less plush than the Nimbus, but their thick midsole and rocker geometry are as good as any shoe I’ve worn. I recently went on a vacation full of walking and hikes and these were the only shoe I took with me. Faired brilliantly and never once considered any foot fatigue or discomfort
@@RDQLUS Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated 👍
They look like the Scott speed rc carbon. Which i just bought 2 x pairs of the Scott shoes.
I may have to try and review a pair of Scott(s). Thanks for the suggestion!
How are the shoes holding up? Looking at this shoe for all day walking and gym wear.
Easily the most overlooked shoe on the market right now, because Hoka mis-advertised them. They are literally a do it all shoe at a high performance level, while they are marketed at a low level pedestrian shoe for the casual fitness. I’ve done an morning workout of sprint intervals, jumps and plyos, coached that same day where I put in nearly a half marathon of walking and jogging around a track meet, and then wore them out to dinner that evening. They are well worth the price point as (3) great shoes in one. My favorite shoe of the past two years, not even close.
@@RDQLUS thanks, keep feeding us new videos
The blackout colourway looks better imo.
There’s a blackout Transport X?! Nice!!!!
Ooooh weeee! That’s damn near formal dress looking! Love it!
@RDQLUS I wonder..how they perform in warm weather?
@@pelemasa2516 hot fire! ☄️ 😂 I’ve had even partially black shoes generate horrible heat in summer sun.
So basically ,you wouldn't recommend it for summer time. More like spring, autumn.
So what are your thoughts on the shoe currently. How’s the ride? Is it worth $200?
Glad you asked… I’m actually doing a summer wrap-up series to go over all of the kicks I reviewed this spring and summer. I can give a hint; this one is still amazing!
How's this for walking? Does it feel peppy? Stiff?
Excellent for walking! One of my favorite shoes right now. A smooth, softer ride without being mushy. Lots of pep without being stiff. But that’s my feel. I hope the same for others
I really love the transport X, but $200 bucks is too much for me.
I understand that. And agreed. Value and price are a personal thing. I think they are only about $30-40 from being a must grab.
that thin outsole worries me about the durability. I work 12 hr shifts and love my clifton 8s
Beautiful shoe, but the thin sole turns me off, looks like those would wear very quickly
I would use these only for more formal occasions, don't think the sole would hold up that long for people that actually run
I’ve gotta say, I’m finding the opposite in part; you are correct for longer mileage, but I truly think they are mis-marketing the shoe. I have been in mine 24/7 for a week. I’m clocking about 5-8 miles each time I’m coaching, my running workouts are about 1600-2000 meters 2 days/wk, an intense plyo session, and a full speed sprint session, then I lift twice/wk. that sole is actual rubber (not sure if it’s Vibram or Continental… Hoka is typically Vibram) and it’s going to hold up nicely. If you’re a miler or marathoner? Yeah, maybe you’ll get some wear. But it’s legit. Put it like this… it’s actually as thick or thicker than the soles on the Adidas AdiZero lineup (Adios Pro, Takumi Sen, etc) and the previous versions of Nike ZoomFly and VaporFly.
The marketing for this shoe is telling us it’s just light walking and everyday runs, but this shoe has worked itself into my hardcore rotation as a sprinter/jumper type. The looks are more street because of the way they heat-molded the foam, but it’s every bit an UltraBoost Light or Saucony Endorphin Speed equal in comparable construction.
What's different between this clifton 9 ?
There is absolutely nothing “Hoka” about this shoe, so in answering what is the difference between this and the Clifton 9? Everything! The Clifton line is a Hoka flagship in look and feel, the way it performs. The Transport X is an experiment in creating a fashionable platform of value in which you can take a shoe day to evening (maybe not night), wearing only one pair to do it all at a decent level but nothing to a super high level… they failed because apparently their idea of only being pretty good at everything was to perfect an UltraBoost better than adidas ever did. Hahaha! I sincerely wish I had said that in the review. 🤣
@@RDQLUS 💐
Dope shoe and I’m sure it’s comfortable but that all white toe box is gonna get filthy because I’d wear them every day.
True, and you’re right… but they clean up daily with a simple wet cloth, and they get back to perfectly white with a shoe cleaning brush.
Is it clifton 9 ?
???
It’s Transport X. If you’re asking if it feels like the Clifton 9, no. Not at all
Thanks what different
