My wife and I had to choose wisely about the one pair of shoes to wear (+plus a pair of backup flip-flops). We were very happy with our Hoka Transports. Though the color selection is not as great as the other Hoka models, these were comfortable all day long. They are water-resistant to help keep feet dry from dew and rain, reflective for safer night walking, and easy to slip on and off with the gliding closure shoe laces.

I just wore my Hoka Clifton 9's for 3 weeks and never gave my feet a thought! Lots of others on our tour wearing Hoka's as well.

I have a FEW pairs of Hoka Kawanas. They are a little harder to find, so when I see them in a good color, I stockpile. Happy shoe shopping!

I love the look and versatility of the Hoka Transports but alas they did not have enough room in the toe box for me compared to my Hoka Bondi. Glad they worked for you!

In reply to Accidental Southerner: I did have the advantage of trying the Hoka Transports on at their flagship store in Goleta California where I purchased them. And I do have a narrow foot, 12.5 AA. The USA 13's fit great for my feet. I like the Vibram sole which is more durable and has a lower profile than other models of Hoka like Clifton and Bondi for the ONE PAIR of shoes to take on the Rick Steves' Villages of Italy Tour. I chose to take my black pair over my white pair in keeping with Bella Figura!
