I've purchased a couple of pairs of these shoes because of the stability and cushion. They are true to size and are made of great materials.

I replaced the inner covering with an active orthotic without even wearing them without the orthotics. They are a perfect fit, lightweight and very comfortable. I ordered a second pair (and orthotic) for my inside treadmill just atwo days ago. I have used my current pair five times now for three-mile daily walks.

The only thing I don't like is how dirty they get and I can't just wipe off,

I brought this shoe after being recommended by my Podiatrist. His advice was to wear this shoe with my custom orthotics, following and injection, I haven't had any trouble since using them together. I'm back to a moderate to high activity level.

I had never heard of Hoka before but they were recommended by my surgeon and they were the best purchase on shoes that I've ever made.

I have worn these sneakers for over 2 years since I've had 2 foot and ankle surgeries. The quality of these shoes saved my feet and back!!!!

So...Im a nurse who was in a major motor vehicle accident the end of March 2020. I suffered several injuries that kept me from walking for roughly 12 weeks. Once I could walk I then began having vestibular (balance) deficits due to the head injury that occurred during the accident - which I am currently in physical therapy for. My nephew, a marathon runner, told me about Hoka's. I ordered the most balanced shoe - the GAVIOTA 2. When they arrived and I put them on...FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A VERY LONG TIME STANDING I FELT ABSOLUTELY SAFE!!! I seriously cannot explain very well with words how much that means to someone who is used to working 13 hour shifts and taking care of people...who driving home from work one day during the beginning of COVID 19 had their life hijacked......I immediately ordered another pair...THANK YOU HOKA!!!! And while I'm not a runner....THESE ARE TRULY AMAZING AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!!!!

This is my third pair of Gaviota 2s. Prior to using them I was in constant foot pain from running. I have used these along with Protalus inserts and have been pain free from running ever since. Heck, I am scared to try others because I don’t want to fall back in the cycle of pain! They are not the most attractive shoes, not that any Hoka’s are, but they have been a godsend when it comes to running and being pain free.

I was having foot pain and my podiatrist recommended a shoe with a thick, strong sole. This shoe gives me support and stability. I can go for my daily outdoor exercises with coming home with massive foot pain.

I am a woman with large feet. So the men's wide is the best for me. I also have Multiple Sclerosis, and I need a comfortable shoe with stability. This is great. I wish there were some less severe color choices for ladies who have to wear the men's styles. But I like them.

Like walking on a cloud.
Lightweight.
Give you a boost in height.
No need to break in.
Also looking forward to my first hike in their hiking boots
Glad i found some Hokas in a normal color.
Order up 1 size in my opinion.

I have three pairs of Hoka, and ever since I'm able to be on my feet and not suffer from terrible arch and heel pain.

My wife bought a pair of the Gaviota 2 for training and running. She loves them. Great support for feet and joints, and they look good, too. Definitely worth the investment.

I've used Hoka for a number of years after a bout of severe planter faciatis and my podiatrist recommendation (who is a marathon runner and swears by Hoka). I originally went with Bondi but now find the GAviota offer a bit more support and I don't need the extra cush. I do change the shoes out every 400 miles or so which seems important to my feet.

Gaviota pronate and arch support is exactly what I was looking for. I have been looking forward to purchasing a pair of Hoka's for awhile. Not only for the quality but for the fun colors. I'm disappointed with the color choice I had to choose from, especially for the cost. Like other reviewers, I would like to see better color choices and the horizontal pull tab return!
I bought 1/2 size down to a size down depending on the brand you compare Gaviota to.

As a nurse, I am on my feet for hours at a time. I was having chronic lower back pain until I started wearing these. It's amazing what a supportive shoe can do! I've already purchased a second pair.

I was working 10-12 hours per day walking up and down the stairs, my shins and my feet would ache every day. From the moment I put these shoes on, I have had no pain!
