Customer Reviews Hoka Gaviota 2

Very comfortable. I have hammer toe and the wide foot bed does the trick. Very pleased and will purchase more. I normally wear medium but ordered wide. Fits perfect. Length is true.

My doctor recommended Hoka shoes a couple of years ago. I avoided the purchase because of the cost. Now my Achilles' tendon and ankle are paying the price. I started using the Hoka shoes about a month ago, and what a difference! I may still need to wear a boot to heal the tendinitis, but these shoes have definitely helped from the problem getting worse. I highly recommend the Hoka shoes, and cut out some other expenses to purchase, if you need to.

I have a lot of feet issues My podiatrist recommended them. They are great for work. Got a second pair for fun.

I've tried all brands and these are by far the best I have found. I have feet pain, planters fascia and the Hoka's have been the most comfortable. I still have a little pain but that has nothing to do with the shoes.

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 always have trouble with running shoes, and this was my third attempt at a pair of Hokas. These shoes are perfect! I have a slightly wide foot (but I don't wear a wide) with a narrower heel and over-pronation. With some adjustments to the laces, these are now the most comfortable and stable shoes I have ever worn. I cold not be happier with this purchase. It feels like they were custom-built for my feet.

These are awesome shoes. best I have found in my 30+ yrs of nursing!! bought the white for nursing and the grey for home!!! My feet are so happy!!! 7.5W is perfect not available in white so have 8W and used a insert in bottom of shoe and fits great

Just getting back into running after a 6+ year hiatus. Ran for two weeks in my old Brooks and had to stop due to knee pain. Tried a couple other Brooks and other companies but finally landed on these from Hoka and I couldn't be happier. I need the stability and cushioning but was thrilled to find those features in a shoe with minimal drop so I can still toe strike. Super comfortable shoes for road and trail. So happy! The online sizing comparison was also super helpful in finding the perfect size for my feet!

I just got these 2 days ago, I'm happy I purchased them, their a awesome looking shoe, that are very comfortable, I'm glad they come in wide, the toe box is roomy, no break in period needed ! I love the colors that at available, I got mine in lead/anthracite and love them, I'm a happy Hoka customer !

I was running in new edition $$$$$ running shoes from a top athletic apparel brand and my shins and calves were paying a big price. Then I decided to go with Hoka and the cushioning and stability makes my legs feel great even on long runs! I will never run without a pair of Hoka shoes again.

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.

Super nice shoe for general walking/hiking on trails. They wash very well in the laundry machine as well. I like the wide version as well.

Part of the reason that I was comfortable buying shoes without trying them on is because your website allows returns for up to 30 days. But you will never get these shoes away from me. I can't even explain how wonderful they are. I have struggled for years with foot and ankle pain, but now I have found the solution.
