These are the most comfortable shoes!! I wear them 8 hrs a day running around a busy emergency room doing xrays everyday and my feet hurt so much less than they use to! I will be buying another pair!!

I have a lot of trouble with my feet hurting. These make walking/running doable again. I love them!

I always wear size eights in my Hokas and these fit perfectly as usual. I ended up having to get black, which is not a shoe color I usually get but it was the only one available in size 8 however they look very sharp and I’m happy with them we did have a little bit of a mixup they sent me a pair of used shoes Which I assume were a pair that were returned to them for some crazy reason and somehow got put in the shoes to be sent out to people who buy shoes but Zappos was quick to fix the problem and refund me and sent me another pair of shoes Which were not used there’s a big difference between the used ones and the new ones I hope that is not a sign that if you wear them for a month they wear down quickly as the used shoes were totally broken down. However my Hokus have always worn well in the past so I do not see it as a problem. I will see in a month. Photo is after my 2 mile walk this morning.

I have a tendency to pronate, especially on my right foot. The Gaviota 2 keeps me stable and as I work on my feet for hours at a time this is essential. My legs and feet were a little achy for the first few days as I adjusted but now I can wear them all day and feel much less tired and achy.

I am an RN and wear them to work being on my feet for 12 or more hours per day. My legs and feet do not hurt anymore when I get home.

The technical term for my condition is posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. The stability of the Gaviota design is beyond measure. I am a busy surgeon and this is why I can stand for hours in the OR. I now keep three pairs of these shoes handy. I must never be without them

As a nurse, I am on my feet for hours at a time. I was having chronic lower back pain until I started wearing these. It's amazing what a supportive shoe can do! I've already purchased a second pair.

I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot and need shoes that correct for over pronation with excellent arch support. These are my second pair of Hoka's and they are worth every penny! I have been taking 2 short walks a day outside on concrete and my foot remains pain free.

This is my favorite Hoka style and I own 4 other styles. Plan to buy more. These have a wide toe bed and fit true to size. I am a nurse and work 12 hr shifts!

Best running shoes ever. My second pair. They lasted 9 months with heavy street use (15 miles per week). I bought a half size up so I could remove insoles and use my orthotics.

I use these shoes for running, walking, going to the gym, and even occasionally at work when I am going to be on my feet all day. I had a lot of pain in my feet before these shoes, because everything I was wearing gave no real support to my feet. I am obsessed with these shoes!

I have run in New Balance for 35 years and recently began to have aches and pains from my toes to my hips. I ordered these shoes for support while walking and working. So far they have been like a miracle and I have been able to complete my runs without discomfort. I will be purchasing an additional pair!

Super happy with these. I have plantar fasciitis, I over pronate and I have an arch that's falling on my left foot. (I think I might be inheriting flat feet from my dad.) I'm still a heavy exerciser and I've been using this shoe for all my daily exercises. It's fantastic. I just ordered another pair in another color. Comfy, light, great arch support, no need for my own arches. Seems like they always change a shoe once I really get to like it. I hope this style remains the same b/c I'll be a wearer for life if it does! I found them to be true to size for me.
I'd also recommend:
Saucony, Brooks, Alegria, Birkenstocks

Love the feel and support of this shoe. Best pair of running shoes I've ever had. My toes don't go numb like in other brands I've used.

I ordered my regular size without reading the sizing guidelines and they were huge. I exchanged for a half size smaller, as recommended, and they were perfect. I have the variety that stops my foot from rolling in and I can really feel the difference.

I've been running in gaviota s for about four years and this model is better then the first for me. I have a wide toe box but a narrow heel and this third box I feel is more flexible as I increase I mileage I don't feel a tightness that I did with gaviota . Great stability also. I played soccer for 9 years so my ankles need the support. Thanks for making a great shoe!

Five stars! Just started a new job working in the copy room in a local high school. Most of my 10k I get at work involves a lot of standing, pivoting and short bursts of under 250 steps at a time. I also have bunions and plantar fasciitis on both feet. Wore these shoes and no complaints! First time I went home and didn’t have to rub my bunions! Well worth the money.

I have troublesome feet and after trying on about 7 pairs ( thank you Zappos for being patient with me as I kept exchanging sneakers ?as if I was in a store) these fit the bill. Since I'm spending so much money for good, supportive, comfortable shoes it is important to me that I find the perfect pair. I over pronate when walking and have capsulitis in my 2nd toe and arthritis and bone spurs in my big toe. These sneakers are supportive and comfortable. I put in my own custom made orthotic although you can go without with these. I found they run 1/2 size smaller. I'm usually a 9 and I finally settled on 9.5.
I'm now walking on clouds ?? ?

These shoes are so comfortable! I am a nurse and in my feet all day. I usually wear ASICS nimbus or danskos, and I have noticed that my feet have been sore after standing/walking all day. These shoes are great for comfort & support! I didn’t need to break them in, they felt great for the get go.
