I need a lot of support in my sneakers and after trying almost every style on the market, Hoka’s are the only ones I’ll buy. I’ve had fascia surgery on both feet and broke my fibula last year. These shoes make everything feel stable... I’m not a runner but I use them for fitness/aerobics classes. It’s a great sneaker if you need arch support , side support , heel support etc. and they don’t need to be broken in...they just feel good from the moment you put them on.

I bought these to wear following a full knee replacement surgery
Wanted good shoes to start therapy in and a lot of walking following for rehab
They are all expected to be.
Thanks

I had bunion surgery this summer and ordered several styles of sneakers from Zappos to try. I typically wear 8 wide and this particular style fit true to size. I am able to loosen the laces on my right shoe to accommodate the swelling I am still experiencing. This shoe does not rub or aggravate the surgery site. I think these are pretty cute and different, as well. The base is wide so I feel they are very stable when walking.

I am suffering from Plantar fasciitis and these shoes were recommended by the Physical Therapist and a friend who had the same problem.

Excellent stability running shoe. Has the feel of a lighter weight neutral trainer but provides awesome support on road and trail. The Gaviota 2 is much better than the original and it was pretty solid. I have retired one pair of the Gaviota 2's and I'm on my second pair. I got about 380 miles out of the first pair and they still had some life left in them. They are now my every day walking around shoes and they are super comfy for that purpose.

I have weak and wobbly ankles and these shoes are great for walking. I have had falls resulting from lateral payment unevenness and these shoes feel a lot more stable than my other HOKA's and different brands of running shoes. They are nicely cushioned and I walked an 18 hole golf course with no foot fatigue. They are great and I'm very happy with my purchase.

These are one of the best pair of Hoka’s I’ve ever had. I have been running in them for a decade and tried different models and the gaviota 2 is my favorite. I run roads and hills approximately 8 miles 6x/week

My sister in law recommended Hoka to me. Decided to try them out. Excellent heel support. Love the stability. Considered returning for wide width, but wore a few times and decided they will be fine. Glad they offer in a white/grey combination. Not a big fan of the bright colors.

Absolutely love these shoes. They are naturally a little wider than standard size shoes which helps people who have a wide toebox. Wish for more color options.

I went from wearing Altra's shoes with the guide rail to this shoe and can't believe how much more cushioning is in the Hokas! The particular shoe I purchased also has that support for over-pronators but a lot more cushioning. I've walked all day in these and my feet still feel good and not tired or achy. I wish Hoka would make an equivalent trail shoe too! I highly recommend these shoes!

I brought these shoes after being sold the wrong shoes at a big chain store! I didn't know you need a half or full size up in running shoes. I was having shin splints, heel and arch pain. These shoes are lightweight and gave me the stability, I was missing as well as the cushioned feel when I run. This was my first pair of Hokas, but not my last.
