Length-wise, these shoes feel slightly larger than marked. I got a 6.5 but they fit closer to a 7, which I do not mind in athletic shoes because your foot always comes forward when in motion anyway. A little extra toe room never hurt anyone. Width-wise, these shoes are a great medium width; I have a ridiculously narrow foot so I can customize the fit easily with the laces, but I feel like this style will easily accommodate a variety of foot shapes and sizes. I have collapsing arches and I'm an overpronator, so I need the extra support and stability which these shoes provide but they add cloud-like cushion without any weight whatsoever, so it feels like an entire spa experience when I'm walking around in these at work all day. I got these to wear specifically at work but I find myself reaching for them even when I'm not at work because they're so comfortable! As a wearer of both Asics and Brooks over the years, I can tell you I'm absolutely a Hoka convert, because they cater to anyone who seeks balance between function and appearance. They're absolutely worth the investment!

These shoes provide amazing support! They are comfortable and prevent my feet from pronating when I walk. I walk daily as part of my regular fitness routine and after a five mile walk in these shoes I do not have any pain. I will definitely be buying a second pair!

Awesome sneakers. They are great for road running as well as walking in hard concrete all day. I have super over pronation and flat feet and these really provide the necessary support

I was skeptical at first because I have a bad bunion on my right foot that the doctors want to fuse the joint to alleviate pain. Thought I'd try these shoes to see if they help. I wore them around the house for a few minutes each day for a week because I was sure I would return them to Hoka. Eventually I wore them to exercise class and could work out without foot pain. The stability, support, and cushioning are incredible. They are now my favorite pair of shoes.

I have foot problems and several years ago my dr suggested I get some Hokas. I have worn them ever since. I love that they come in all black too since I need to wear them at the office. Makes it a little less noticeable.

My orthopedist suggested HOKAs to help take stress off the arthritis which has taken up residence over the top arch of my foot. Combined with PT, I've reduced the swelling in my ankle and foot pain. Love the Gaviota 3!

Fallen arches, tired, aching feet, I love the Cliftons, Bondis are awesome. But this shoe is fabulous! It has the comfort of all the others, but it's the stability that helps me the most. I'll be buying another pair soon!

I just want to say these sneakers my butt look amazing! Better than heels. I highly recommend. But as far as athletic performance shoes, I can't imagine how people run in these. They are platforms! For me this style could work as a walking shoe, but I don't know about running.

I bought these per the suggestion of my podiatrist - I have flat feet, just how they are, can't be helped. However, I also have scoliosis, bulging discs in my lower spine, paired nicely with degenerative disc disease, and patellofemoral syndrome in both knees, and tendonitis in my right ITB. I have a lot of physical pain. These shoes have Excellent arches as is-though mine were replaced with orthotic fittings-and are so comfortable! I have to wear them every day, and couldn't be happier. Easy to get on and off, don't know if I will ever own a different brand of running/walking shoes after these!

I just started walking after a long sedentary 15 months and was experiencing uneven joint pain. A friend recommended HOKA to me and I am THRILLED! I love these shoes. I chose them for the stabilizing feature and boy did they deliver. I could feel the shoes "fixing" my walk and within 2 days the uneven joint pain was completely gone. I know these shoes aren't cheap but they are worth every penny. They are also very tall, which means I look down at my boyfriend when wearing them. He doesn't like it but to me it's an added bonus! LOL!

Love the new design, Love the comfort and stability. I wear them for work they have honestly helped from my feet to my back. No other shoe has helped me like the Hoka Gaviota. I am always recommending them to others.

I work in busy ER as a nurse. Constantly on my feet for about 13 hours a day. I just tried these shoes for the first time. I felt like I was standing on a mattress all day. No feet,leg, or back pain at the end of the day. I just bought a pair for my husband and he can't stop wearing them. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future.
Thank you for making these shoes!!
