It features a water-resistant CORDURA upper made from recycled polyester, a PFC-free water-repellent treatment, reflective details for 360° visibility, a speed-lace system, and a Vibram EcoStep Recycle EVO outsole made from 30% recycled rubber. According to user feedback, it is more suitable for casual use and travel than for intense trail running, and the sole may wear down more quickly on hard surfaces like pavement.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-footwear/all-our-shoes/white-transport-2-trail-running-shoes-women--18811-1171850?colourId=0","brand":"Hoka","condition":"new","product_category":"women
