Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 2

I run several miles a day, but I have started having pain in my left knee. I bought these shoes specifically to give me support and cushioning. They are even more comfortable than I hoped they would be. I would recommend these to anyone in need of a supportive shoe.

Daily walks. I love the support they give my ankles, I just wish they had more padding on the soles. Do y'all have any shoes that help with the pronation and also provide maximum cushioning in the soles? I've used your shoes for several years now. Love them.

Great for long workdays on my feet.

I run ~12 miles per week baseline and typically train for half marathons in the fall and spring (when that was a thing...). I've run in the Brooks Ravenna for about 6 years and I love that shoe, but I've been having increasing issues with shin splints and wanted to try something different. After a lot of research, I decided on the Gaviota. So far, I would consider it to, at a minimum, match my satisfaction with the Ravenna, which for me is a huge win. The jury is still out on how it's impacting my shins but I haven't noticed a lot of pain and I've been running in the Gaviota for about a month now. More generally, the shoe is very comfortable and cushioned while not feeling bulky. I have noticed I prefer it when doing cross training (fitness DVDs) - my feet feel more stable. Overall, at this point, I would absolutely recommend the Gaviota. I'm not sure yet what my next running shoe will be.

I wear them for work. On my feet all day in a medical office. This is my third pair. Love the shoe. Best shoe I have found for my flat feet and pronating ankles.

I love the look and feel of the shoes. This particular style is very supportive for my flat feet and high impact movements during exercise. Although, I would highly suggest the brand use another carrier instead of UPS. On the east coast in the DC Metro region, they're famous for delaying and losing packages. Just a tip.

Great stability

I've struggled with foot pain due to several surgeries from Hallux Rigidus. I wanted an everyday shoe that provided comfort and stability while Alleviating the pain by limiting the pressure on my big toe joint. The rocker bottoms help position the top of my foot in a way that I do not feel that pressure. While wearing them I do not limp nearly as much as I do barefoot.

i bought these as a gift for my son-i have been very satisfied with my previous purchases. He seems to like them and wears them for work

They are so comfortable. My feet feel great afterwards. I love the support and the cushioning.

I had back surgery and have to walk 7 times a day! I could not do it without the comfort and stability of these Hokas! I will buy these again

I bought them for everyday activities....I work in a restaurante so I stay long hour over my feet either walking or standing and these shoes help me to be pain free...I just love them....

Most comfortable shoes, I have terrible feet problems and with these shoes I can lock all day without any issue

Use my shoes everyday. Great comfort

I use these shoes for hiking and everyday activities

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 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.

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

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!!!!

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!!!!

Very comfortable

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.
