The shoes are even more comfortable than prior models. But I wear an 11W. When I first bought them in wide they came only in white or black (reminded me too much of the black oxfords I had to wear as a kid). We big-, wide-footed folks like the same colors the non-wide folks are offered. They now have a bright orange but I'm waiting, I hope, for the reds to be offered in wides.

I only gave 3 stars because the sole is already falling off. The shoe is nice but to expensive to have sole come off after 3 weeks.

Let me begin by saying, I love love love my gaviota2. I have 2pairs in purple & I hope they last as long as I do. i thought I found my shoe nirvana. I also have 2 pairs of bondi 6 and one pair of arahi 6. Other than the gaviota 2s, every other pair in the same size W9 wide,fit too small or too narrow or both. I even have tried men's 7.5 medium, supposedly comparable to women's 9wide, in the new gaviota 4. Too short, too narrow. I would have tried the W9wide, but black? Not interested. I hope Hoka you read reviews & get it together. I may have to move on

Had to return the 8 because everything about it was too small. Arch was not placed correctly and toes were touching; however much better looking than the Gaviota 3. Keeping the 8.5 to see if I can put up with the incorrect heal drop; arch is perfectly placed like the Gaviota 2. I also have to utilize the top two holes to secure my heal to keep it from slipping as it feels a little too big.

The size 6 shoe was too small, quite tight, and uncomfortable.

The fit was spot on, but the shoes were not right for me. They weren’t flexible at the ball of the foot and seemed to have more of a rigid fit more suitable for a hiking or trail shoe. I returned them for a more flexible, lightweight style.

I really wish these had been wider in the toe box. My toes felt squished, so I had to return them.

After loving my Bondi 7's, I wanted to try these. I have plantar fascitis and these do not keep my feet comfortable. They don't have enough arch support and do not feel very cushioned. I would not recommend these. The price is over inflated for the sneaker.

I really wanted to love these as i like the design a little better than the Bondi which is the other PLUSH style. I have had 3 right foot surgeries and at first these made my foot feel as happy as the Bondi's do. Within walking 1 mile my right foot started hurting BAD. Sharp shooting pains under big toe joint that worked all the way up my foot. I thought it was a fluke so sat down and after a couple hours tried again. Same thing before i even hit 1 mile the same sharp pain up my whole foot. I will exchange them for a different size Bondi and hope that fixes my issue. Over all HOKA's are the only shoes i will wear and recommend. This model just sadly didn't work for my feet.

These are too rigid, not nearly as comfortable as the Bondi 8!

I have only been wearing these shoes for 2 weeks now ans one of the rubber pieces on the bottom is already peeling off. 100% dissatisfied! Will be returning, for the price these should not have such things happening within 2 weeks of wear.

This shoe is supposed to help people with pronation. It does not. In fact, the right foot shoe was slanted toward the left and did not support the pronation in the right foot at all. Gravitoa 3 model shoe is perfect. Don't know what happened with the Gravitoa 4 because it does nothing for the pronation.

I have severe plantar fasciitis and this sneaker did not work. Not enough arch or padding in the heel. I returned it

I work in healthcare and do not need to be bothered with my feet. I wore these and my feet started hurting not long into my 12 hour shift. I wish I had brought my old Bondi pair with me so I could change into. Wish I could return these cause I would get the Bondi 8.

The Bondi 7 wide is perfect for my feet but sadly this wide is considerably less wide.

These are one of my favorite styles. Nice cushioning. I still need an arch insert to give more support.

Love my Hokas! I have narrow feet, high arches, pronate and I often struggle with plantar fasciitis. So good shoes matter. These shoes have really worked well for me and I have three pair of different styles. The Gaviota is my favorite. It’s very stable which is helpful when exercising ( I’m 74) or walking because balance is always an issue these days. You don’t want to fall! I’ve had no feet problems since wearing these shoes. Highly recommend.
