Want a walking shoe that can do everything? My favourite slip-on pair gets a rare discount in REI’s anniversary sale
If you’ve been thinking about buying a new pair of Hokas, now is the time!

Sold as a shoe built for commuters, this is one of my favorite Hoka shoes for its performance both on the road and on the trail.
The Transport holds a top spot in my walking shoe guide as the best slip-on walking shoe. The main selling point for me is the toggle fastening, which makes it quick and easy to put on.
If you struggle with fine motor control or have sore hands, this removes the need to tie laces and means shoes are easy to adjust one-handed. (It does come with a pair of laces, if you don’t want the toggle feature.)
The men’s shoe is discounted in REI’s 30th anniversary sale, with a 25% reduction on the oak/alabaster olorway. There are some reductions on the women’s Transport too, but stock is thinner on the ground.
Sizes 8-13 are still available to buy in the oak/alabaster colorway. Other colorways are still full price for now, but this may change as the sale goes on. The Transport fits true to size, so you can buy your usual size with no nasty surprises.
The Transport is stylish enough to wear as an everyday sneaker, but with the performance of an athletic shoe.
It’s water resistant and has a tough outsole that grips well, so it can handle a trip off-road as well as city walks.
The Transport is one of Hoka’s flagship shoes since its release in 2023 and is rarely discounted despite being an relatively old shoe at this point.
