I love the cushiony feel with arch support. It feels like they are being customized to my feet as I wear them.

I have been on my feet and very active all my life and now at 60 I need these shoes that give me the extra cushion and support I need. Bought another pair for my sister.

I love the plush feel and the ability to wear these shoes straight out of the box! This is my 5th pair, I've experimented with different models and I can't say a bad thing about any of them!

I've been looking at these shoes for over 6 months and finally bought them and am I glad I did. Perfect size and fit. This will not be my last pair.

I love the new design. Very stable and my hips don't hurt anymore. The only thing I would change is a bigger pull tab on the back.

They fit beautifully and I both walk and workout in them comfortably. Great looking as well.

I'm very happy with my purchase. I need a stability shoe that accommodates orthotics. This shoe provides the firm stability my doctor wants for me.

Ordered the 8.5 which I have in the agaviota 2. I have now ordered it in a 9 to do a comparison.

going to order in an 8 to see if I can get a little more toe room and improve the arch fit; normally wear a 7.5. they changed the back loop to horizontal rather than vertical, and for me it's harder to get ahold of. overall very cushy.

I love Hokas and have worn them for years. I, however do not like the new lace up. It’s so hard to get them tightened up right…definitely my only complaint but it’s a pain!

Well, this is an odd looking shoe but must say I am pleasantly surprised at the comfort. I replaced the insole with my orthodic and that works perfectly. My only complaint/observation, is that the lacing design is just plain weird. Not eyelets but tabs, not the easiest to use, thus only 4 stars. That said, I like them enough that I bought same shoe in black.

I love my news kicks. I've been waiting for a good pair of shoes. And I wasn't successful in finding any. I've had many days of pain in my heels and legs. So far, I've been having less pain as I wear them. Thank you.

I'm glad I bought these in a wide width because I'd never have been able to squeeze my foot inside otherwise. I wear a size 9 medium width in the Bondis, but in these shoes I should have gotten a 9.5. My toes are right up at the end of the shoe and while it's ok, I wish I had more room. The arch support seems fine. I used to have crazy high arches but my feet have felt the effects of weight gain and old age. So far so good. Will update if things change.

My Gaviota 2's were the best!!! The box toe on my Gaviota 3's is not the same. I wish it was the same as the 2's. I have an ankle that turns over and Hokas have been the best for it!!! This was my 4th pair of Hokas.

I need to return for a half size larger. I wore 8.5 last time but my toe goes right to the end and won't be good when I walk outside.

Not as good as the previous model. Not enough ventilation, doesn't feel as solid.

The general fit is fine, but the heel area is big. My heel, even with the heel lock tie, is so loose that my sock keeps riding down. The toe fits perfectly. I had to get crew socks to solve the issue.
I can't really use these as my go-to shoes like my other Hokas.

I have never had to wear a wide shoe this one hurts the outside of my feet on the side where my little toe connects . The arch support is great.

I am a huge fan of this shoe and have an earlier model. These shoes however, are too narrow and even in a wide width my foot is constricted and the side of the shoe rubs into my foot. I am returning them.

I regret buying these shoes. They are no where near as comfortable as my first pair of Hoka shoes. They don't feel as supportive or as cushioned and just feel cheap and will fall apart soon.

I'd like to wear it all day long. But I noticed my foot doesn't like hard button. I need lot of cushion in the bottom of my foot. My work has a concrete floor and I need to wear something softer and give me lot of cushion to make some kind easy to walk and stand up 8 hours a day every day. I had a bad knee with required more shocking support on the bottom of my foot. So I'd like to find something more appropriate to walking for long period of time on this kind of floor. Thanks

These were awful. I have been buying Gaviotas loyally for years (sometimes I go with Arahis). My feet over pronate and I need the support and cushion. I do about 5k a day (14,000 steps total) and there is something very off about these shoes. I’ve developed really bad plantar fasciitis and my feet feel worse in these sneakers than they do in flats/barefoot. Ive had them for 3 months and think I need to toss them, which is a shame because they aren’t cheap.
