Loved my Gaviota shoes! I was looking for some that would be great for work since I stand for long hours and came accross these shoes. I had already gotten some other brand and was dissatisfied but these feel great and I have joint issues and have flat feet!

These are truly the only sneakers that provide adequate support for overprobation associated with flat feet. I have tried every sneaker brand and this is the only one that offers protection against plantar fasciitis.

These have made a beliver out of me! I was going for another pair of ASICS to wear to work but decided I'd try on the Hokas because I had seen a few nurses wearing them. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! They have been a God send. My feet or back may be hurting when I wake up but after putting these on the pain goes away. I have several pairs of shoes I rotate through (nine of them are cheap btw) but find my self wearing these the most. After 12-13 hours of running room to room, my feet are only "tired" at the most.

I am a runner with overpronation, a recent ankle fracture, and Mortons neuroma. So far, this shoe is great! It fits true to size (I am 8.5 in normal shoe and 9.5 in running shoe), is secure at the ankle, and provides a wide enough to box to avoid toe compression which can really aggravate the neuroma. They are comfortable out of the box, but it takes a while to get used to them if you over pronate as the shoe helps correct that. I have not had to use orthotics in this shoe. Formally, I ran in Brooks but did use an orthotic.

Wonderful shoe. Great fit and stability. Used to have ball joint and toe problems and pain until I got my Hokas. No more! Love them so much I got another pair soon after receiving my first pair!

I love my new sneakers. I finally spent money where it counts. On your feet that hold your whole body up. Why do we wait so long before we realize that this is an important part for everything else to work properly.

These shoes so have a chunky sole, but the cushioned comfort that sole provides is a good trade-off. I am always a size 11 B but after switching their factory insole for my insole and wearing them around the house, the circulation in my left foot was cut off. They were not tied too tight. Looks like I need an 11 Wide in this shoe.

This is my second pair of Hoka Gaviotas, and I will continue to buy them in the future. I love them. They are steady and cushioned. I have difficulty with twisted ankles due to weakened tendons, but the Gaviota makes me feel stable.

My daughter is a new nurse. She said all the nurses on her floor were wearing your shoes, so I surprised her with a pair for her new job. She said your shoes are the most comfortable shoes she has ever had.

I was in dire need of work out shoes. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and both of my ankles have loose tendons causing them to roll in and out. I have always been told by my orthopedist to wear new balance. Now don't get me wrong, I still love new balance, but I have made my new balance shoes my everyday shoes. My Hokas are my workout shoes. I walk the track several times and use the cardio and weight machines. The first time I wore my Hokas, I was a bit skeptical, as I thought this was just another shoe company passing off their shoes as being great stability shoes. I was so wrong... I fell in love with them and even convinced my sister in law who wears the same size I do to get herself a pair for everyday wear as she is on her feet a great deal. Thank you Hoka, for making such a great shoe. I am definitely hooked and will be a return customer!

I really was hopeful that this shoe would be awesome, because my running buddy swore by it. I barely got through a 3-mile run with it. Way too narrow, my feet were numb by the time I finished and I normally easily get by with M for width. I was totally bummed because I did like the padding. I would consider ordering in the future if it was a little wider.

I use these shoes for running on blacktop aka streets. Im training for half marathons and they feel very soft and absorbing of the pavement. My legs and feet dont feel as tired as traditional running shoes do.

I love the style and colors! Hard to find a pair of supportive shoes that I liked!! Usually wear New Balance 9W, I had to get these in an 8W and they fit perfectly! I even put in a thicker orthotic for arch support. I also have a problem with my feet rolling outward and these keep them from doing that too! I hope they will last a while for this price!
