This is best shoe I have found that allows me to be on my feet for hours without pain from chronic plantar fasciitis and arthritis . As stable as they come. This shoe fits true to size.

I ordered these shoes, not for running but to provide a hard-soled shoe to aid in my continued recovery from a 5th metatarsal fracture. I love the color and the shoes are very comfortable and exactly what I need as I begin the physical therapy treatments and eventually get back to running. I tend to have a narrow foot except in the toe box due to bunions and fallen arches. I took out the arch supports and put in my own with no problem. I have considered ordering the same shoe in a different color to match the rest of my professional wardrobe as I will be wearing this shoe for the next couple of months.

These Hoka's are amazing. Comfortable and supportive. I work 10 hour shifts on my feet. My lower back and knees don't ache when I wear these.

Really comfortable, almost spongey as you walk in them. Makes me want to jump! These shoes were recommended by my ortho surgeon. I have not been disappointed - this is my 4th pair.

I have been looking for a running shoe that I felt helped with my pronation issues. Look no further! The first time I put this on I felt support. After two weeks of running in these shoes, my form of running is better (not solely due to the shoes, I have been trying to focus on taking a better runners form). I can feel the arches in my feet are supported. Good shoes DO matter! I made this discovery after this purchase. While I can't change the aches and pains of running as I get older, I can buy a shoe the helps to correct my pronation and make my foot feel supported. Bye bye shin splints!

I am a casual runner who runs 3-5 miles several times a week. A couple years ago I bought my first pair, and now I'm on pair #6. I'm hooked on Hoka!

Add arch supports and this is a good walking shoe with lots of cushion. However the style is bulky looking.

I wear these all day everyday. Even to church. Only shoe that doesn't hurt my feet. My foot doctor recommended them.

Tried the Arahi 3, but it didn't provide the cushion and stability I needed when running...so I purchased the Gaviota 2 since I need a stability shoe. Really enjoy running in this shoe and it has held up very well. Highly recommend for those who need a stability shoe.

I walk about 16-20 miles a week and have had heel problems with other shoes, the Gaviota 2 are the best shoes I've every owned hands down! They are like walking on a cloud! Adios to my Asics forever!

These are comfortable as the last pair I had which lasted 2 years. They give me a height boost from all the comfortable padding. They are cute looking and definitely worth the expense.

I feel very stable. The toe box is perfect on the D width as I have a bad toe joint. They are comfortable; however, I have added my Good Feet arch support I have had for all my shoes. I would really like more cushion for the removable intersole as I had to buy a thicker one.

I have plantar fasciitis and have had a major flare for several months. One day of wearing the Hoka and my foot is 50% better. No joke. Well cushioned and supportive. I have a low volume foot so they are a bit wide for me. They accommodate my orthotic well. Lots of compliments on the turquoise color.

This shoe...I mean, I really don't have any words except I am truly satisfied! I tried them on, and instantly felt relief! Usually I other shoes you can still feel the ground your walking on. With these, it was complete cushion. I waked my dog way longer than I usually would. They are SO comfortable. They are bulkier than normal shoes, but it makes complete sense. In order to have full support and comfort that's goanna have to happen. Thank you so much to who created these! Making my husband buy some next!

Ordering another after buying first pair in actual retail store. Have PF and relatively wide forefoot with bunion, overpronate. These give me a lot of support, are well cushioned and allow addition of great pair of heel cushions for PF called Profoot plantar fascitis orthotics. The inserts are expensive but made a big difference and were worth every penny. Only thing I wish is that the shoes looked and felt a little less bulky/heavy and came in better colors.

Very happy with this show. It is comfortable and provides great support. The support has significantly improved some hip, leg, and foot pain I was experiencing with other shoes.
