I have searched for shoe nirvana for over a decade. I used a foot massager and I've taken IBU for foot pain after walking my dog until I found the Gaviota 3. These are shoe heaven and I now go through my day without even thinking about my feet. Love the stability and balanced sole on these. I've noticed Hoka changed this up on the Gaviota 4. Please bring back the sole on the 3's. I just found these shoes and now you are taking them away. These are one of the few shoes that don't feel so mushy. On a final note, I'm surprised at how narrow Hoka's run. I've never worn a wide in any shoe until Hoka. I have to get wide to fit more than a thin sock.

Firm footbed -- Not as soft and comfy as other Hoka styles - even though it was stated as the one with the most cushion.

I am a Viet Nam disable Marine Vet with a bad left leg .Ater finding these Hoka Gaviota shoes I am able to fast walk with my service dog Cash . We get in about 7 miles a day. I can't run and because I do all the work with my right leg I wear out the right shoe before the left this makes the pair unusable faster then it should and makes me unbalanced . I can still use the pair but walking becomes a problem for my leg and my back. It's ironic that these shoes are made in Viet Nam , but they are the only shoes I have found that give me the support and comfort for my walking . Sure wish that I could get a deal on buying a couple of pairs but Fit 2 Run does not give deals and do not carry my size . I am now ordering them from you. Semper Fi

Excellent shoe, but the cushioning (my top reason for purchase) wears out too quickly; otherwise, they are remarkably comfortable walking shoes.

I'm no runner so I've never worn Hoka but I run delivery business so I needed comfortable shoe and I'm always looking to buy them so instead of my usual Nike air max I tried this shoe from Hoka and I'm very impressed it's the most comfortable tennis shoes I've ever worn .. not very stylish with big sole but they are super comfortable and made very well.. worth every penny

These are my 3rd pair of Hoka brand shoes. They are an investment, but well worth the price for the comfort you get! I needed an all black shoe that could be worn for exercise as well as for long hours on my feet while working “fly crew” and backstage help in theater. The extra height from this shoe is nice too! Whatever you’ll be needing it for, the comfort that Hoka shoes give you is hard to beat!

These are the only shoes I wear. I have several foot issues including neuropathy in my feet. These shoes are so comfortable, stabilizing and help with my balance. I love them and have 4 pairs. Also I can get a 10.5 size with Hoka. This is one of the few shoes that carry this size.

The overall fit and size are spot on, but the heel support fell short. My heel kept on dropping into the bottom of the shoe, which in turn the arch support was not supporting.

It feels slightly bigger than expected but, is ok because I feel freedom in my feet. Material is soft. They feel very cushion as I walk my feet definitely felt the difference. I was not hurting as much at the end of the day. Hopefully the progress continues as I keep on wearing them. I have only had the opportunity to wear them once.

The Gaviota 2 was a perfect shoe for me because I do as much walking as I do running in the shoes. The Gaviota 2 had the feel of a serious stability shoe, and the weight. For my purposes it was fantastic, the best shoe I have ever had. The Gaviota 3 does not have quite the same serious stability feel, though for me it works well, and it tracks straight and is successful as a stability shoe--but it is a great running shoe. It is one of those shoes that it you try to walk around in them, you want to run, it just seduces you into running. Very nice shoe. I do wish they would bring the Gaviota 2 back as a walking shoeit excels at that.

Best shoe I have ever used! I've tried almost every shoe brand out there and this is the one that has impressed me the most. I usually get shin splints and knee pain. On the first use, I didn't get either of those types of pain. I can honestly say it's a great investment if you want to run pain-free. Buy them you will not be disappointed.
