Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 2

I own Adidas PureBoost and Brooks Ghost 13, which I still like, but these may be my current favorite. I walk/run 15-20 miles a week and these are the most comfortable from start to finish. Maybe SLIGHTLY snug(narrow), but not enough for me to go to Wide. Keeping my eyes open for more color options!

I purchase these for my son who has flat feet. Whatever shoe we got for him was uncomfortable and cast him some pain whenever he had some physical activities. But he liked these. Totally worth the money. I need to mention the great customer service and awesome return/exchange policies.

Good walking support and my custom orthotics fit well in the shoes. I would buy them again.

I wore a Brooks shoe for 12 years, and in the past year I've had an ankle issue that wouldn't go away. Was introduced to the Hoka brand on a visit with a friend to On the Run. Was told it was a lighter shoe and more cushion, which was the absolute truth! Issue with my ankle has gone asway, my two mile walks and hour workouts with my trainer now come with ease. Love I can get 3 colors, but I wish all six colors were available in my size. Thank you for creating such an amazing shoe for the flat footed!

about 2 weeks after i started wearing my hoka's one of the eyelets for the shoelaces broke, they replaced them so fast, no questions asked, no hassle-now that's amazing customer service and trust!

I love the gaviota 2 so far I've worn them about 3 weeks and they are phenomenal!!! I workout in them and i wear them to work on concrete in a warehouse and they hold up pretty good! I'm so surprised because, most shoes i feel some sort of discomfort. They are great for the most part!! I feel like I'm walking on clouds, they are so comfortable. I will be ordering more real soon!

I am a Nurse and work 13 hour shifts, this is my second pair of Gaviota. The stability is key for me to keep my knees, hips and back from hurting. I wear a women's 12 and it is nice that you have my size. Worth every dime..

It fit straight out of the box just like the pair I'd worn out! I have screws in my ankle and a leg plate, arthritis with some bone on bone, and these shoes make it stable so I can walk with minimal pain! Thank you!! (a note about size... in most shoes I wear an 8-8.5 but in this type of shoe (tennis shoe) I've always worn larger (9-9.5) and this one is the same - the 9.5 fits perfect.)

Wear all day at work and play

I am not a runner. I have "run" quite a few times in this shoe and I were it to work everyday. I am working outside all day and walking on concreate and asphalt all day. I pronate severely. This shoe provides me with a lot of support. I didn't relied how much I loved theses until I tried to replace them. I wanted to experiment with running with a zero drop shoe (Altra Escalante). those are fine if you are running but if you are walking(heel striking) me feet would begin to hurt. These two shoes are on the opposite spectrum of cushion. The Gaviota is more comfortable for me to run in and more comfortable day to day. I love them probably going to get another pair soon.

This is my third pair. Super comfortable. The rocker bottom helps reduce pain.

I use these for walking for exercise mostly. But starting to use them as my everyday shoe. Very comfortable so far. Glad I bought them.

These are the best of a great line of shoes. This is my second pair, just a different color.

Good looking and comfortable.

This is my second pair ! I have one for walking and one for my boot camp ! They fit like a glove and my feet never get tired of wearing them!

I have worn this brand of shoe for about 3 years. I developed foot drop from having back surgery. Gaviota 2 are the best shoe to help keep my foot position correctly and assists in keeping my ankle from rolling. I do not need to wear any special insoles . Love them. I have not had any issues with size. I do wish they had better color selection. The colors are getting more subtle. I like the bright colors.

I believe I'm a Hoka. addict, i have 6 pairs and keep looking to buy more ! My feet don't hurt at all , and you have an amazing customer service! Thank you

Although I have only worn these for a short time they feel really great

So comfortable and I use for many activities

Fits well. Ankle stability really works.

I had terrible plantar fascitits in both feet and after just 3 weeks in my Hokas, the pain and stiffness is barely 1/3 what it was. You have yo soend money on your footwear when you are on your feet all the time.

I run 25 miles a week and have flat feet but the Gaviota J-Frame support ...it's awesome!!

This is a great pair of running shoes.
