I work 12+ hours in a hospital just bought my second pair of HOKA . They were highly recommended by a co worker. The only drawback for me is some of the bright colors choices in some of the styles ....thanks

I have had these for about a week, and they have really made a difference with my heel spur and PF. The inserts are removable so I started with my purple arch supports, added a heel gel pad on top, and put the normal shoe cushion back in place. Much, much better. They run a little narrow so if you have a combo regular/wide foot then opt for the wide size. The shoe feels stable in the heel without being overly so to help with overpronation and a balanced foot roll when walking. I have a moderate bunion on one foot and it does not seem to bother it but that is probably because I got the wide. Although the shoe is slightly stacked for extra cushioning, I don't really notice the difference at all. It does not have that bubble bottom that some shoes have, but rather provides superior cushioning with a normal stride. This is the best shoe I have found for a normal, cushioned stride while providing relief for my poor aching feet. TDL: Quality construction, excellent cushioning, definitely helped with my PF and heel spur. If you are as challenged as I am you may still need to find the right combo of gel cushion and arch support but no shoe can fix everything. This one worked very well for me with a few adjustments.

I would like to have the bondi 7 just to switch from stability to more cushion!

Plantar Fasciitis, low arches, hammer toes and a couple of foot surgeries and this is by far the best show I've worn for all my walking. I do multiple 5 and 10K races during the year and this is the only show I wear! I have a couple of pairs along with some other Hoka styles but Gaviota's are number one!

I bought these for my daughter who stands on a concrete floor and needs good support for flat feet. She absolutely loved these shoes. Says there's nothing like a new pair of Hokas.

I am almost 60 and broke my foot two years ago. My podiatrist recommended Hoka Bondi so I tried them. Loved them except that the toe wore through and they started to tear away from the side sole, first 6 months. Decided to try other brands. Well I am back, there is nothing as comfortable as a Hoka. I now have two pairs so not to wear them out as fast
My feet are so happy.

General walking in this pair of Gaviota 2. My second pair and no knife or back pain. Husband even got him a pair and can now keep up with me in the 5k walk.
Make lots more colors as they are also my color coordinated comfort.

I know you're a sneaker company, but these are like walking on pillows and would make a great base for shoes other than just sneakers! Terrific comfortable sneakers! Please consider expanding your line to include shoes for work, dress etc! Thank you for this great sneaker with roomy toe box, arch support and most needed cushioning!!

I needed a shoe with a firm sole for support. This shoe has plenty of room for my wide foot and looks good with jeans, yoga pants and capris for all-round wear. Will buy Hokas again.

I love these shoes. They are perfect for my feet. I talked to support and they guided me well in picking out what was best for my flat feet. They were spot on. Thanks again!

I have been wearing this style for everyday use. The stability in the shoe is exactly what I need to make it through the day pain free. I've had many surgeries on my feet/ankles and I have found the perfect shoe for me. This is my second pair of gratvia the first pair held up really well for the hours I wear them.

I have to say the Gaviota 2 shoes changed my life! I used to walk 4-5 miles a day for years, but about 4 years ago, I started having pain in my right hip and heel. I went to Doctors, Podiatrists, and Physical Therapists searching for any relief. I had $500 orthotics made and even tried dry needling for relief. I have bought MANY brands of shoes and insoles, searching for relief. I have very flat feet and overpronate. I've also been called a "heel striker" meaning I naturally stomp with each step. A friend recommended I try these shoes. I thought they were pricey, but was willing to give it a try with the money back guarantee. I ordered a half size up for plenty of room for my toes. Within 24 hours MY PAIN WAS COMPLETELY GONE. I'm not exaggerating. I could walk 4-5 miles again 6x a week with NO PAIN! I got my first pair in August, and in mid-November the pain started gradually returning so I ordered another pair. I waited 2 weeks, but nothing arrived. I called and customer service said there was no record of my order, even though I had an order number. Weird. (I was never charged.) I ordered them from another site and got them quickly. If they are discontinuing this style I need to STOCK up on my size ASAP.
