Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 2

I am still hoping you will find a way to make women's size 13. Yes there is a great need for them.

use to walk in the park. rotate with other pairs.

As an overpronater, I used to wear Brooks Adrenaline GTS shoes for running. They're quality shoes and I thought they got the job done. Until I purchased Hoka One One Gaviota 2s. These are on a totally different level! Lots of cushion that reduces impact. Heck of a shoe!

This is the only shoe I will wear for work. I am in a warehouse and on a sales floor. I'm on my feet all day with lots of heavy lifting. Before finding the Gaviota 2 I was in terrible pain daily. I have fallen for the Hoka brand and I will stay a customer for life. I LOVE THE COLORS! I wanted the Grape/Orange but at the time I was ordering it wasn't available in my size. I got Black/Gray and it's nice but I hope to get the Grape/Orange next. My only gripe is the toe reinforcement. My big toes wear through the fabric underneath the outer shell quickly. You can see my socks through the netting. When I can see the color of my socks that's how I know I need a new pair.

I wear these on my 12-13 hour nursing floor shifts. They provide excellent support. I only have one complaint. The outer edge on the right foot has a seam in a horrible place that causes constant soreness on my foot. Please pad that area!

I'm not exaggerating either!!! I work in a warehouse & am on my feet 8-10 hours a day on concrete. I have bone spurs and Plantar Fasciitis... I've spent hundreds of dollars trying to find the right shoe & insoles on my own. The Hoka brand was recommended by my Podiatrist (finally broke down & went), I picked the all black Gaviota 2 because of the look & reviews & WOW!!! No joke, to me it feels like I'm walking on an anti fatigue mat all day. They are the most I've ever spent on shoes, but I'll happily pay the price!!! I cannot begin to describe how it feels to not want to cry at the end of my shift from foot pain. THANK YOU!!!!!

These shoes have been comfortable since the first day, when I put them on and walked the 75-pound pulling machine who is my dog for a full hour on city streets. Bricks made uneven by the elements, storm-tossed branches, cement, and the direction changes of an exuberant canine ... nothing fazed these wonderfully stable shoes. I have a couple-of-years old pair of Arahis, also in wide, and was told these are a little bit wider. They are! While I have loved my first pair of HOKAs, they were never quite wide enough (my foot kind of hung over the sole) or as stable as I needed them to be. Gaviotas are it, for me! I love them so much that though I keep meaning to exchange them after walking for HOKA Recovery Slides, I forget most of the time! If they hold up as well as the much-loved Arahis I will be impressed.

I bought this product two days ago. Used it to run the first two days for 3miles. Its amazing how im not too sore after my runs. Im 5'10" 220lbs, my shoes before this are Nikes zoom fly maybe im too heavy for them. Im going to retire my nikes. This are the perfect shoes for me! I regret not buying this before spending money on Nikes.
