With the launch of the Gaviota in 2017, the runner looking for a stability shoe could at last shake off the constrictions of traditional support shoes. A premium stability shoe, the Gaviota 2 features superior cushioning along with the HOKA ONE ONE J-Frame design. The HOKA J-Frame delivers support and protection while guiding your foot without the use of rigid and unforgiving materials. The Gaviota 2 embraces the J-Frame further offering consistency in fit and ride. Plus a new upper. Made from engineered mesh, the upper offers superior breathability to its predecessor while embracing all that made it breakthrough.

Questionable durability.
The shoes overall are very good. They are probably some of the best running shoes ive had in a while. All of this was nice...while it lasted. I run about 3-4 miles daily and the padding was already gone by a month. Foot pain and leg pain immediately came back as a result. On top of that, the shoes are very expensive. If you have the money, get them. However, be aware that the durability is questionable.

I wear (through) a lot of Hoka One One Shoes - But Not This One
I am painfully unhappy with this shoe. I wear a 9. In other Hoka One One shoes, a 9 fits perfectly. This shoe is small - maybe an 8 or 8.5. I am riding out the pandemic in Costa Rica and received these through a forwarding service paying transport, administration and 30% import duty. As a practical matter, a return is not possible. On this occasion, I ordered two different Hoka models. The other fitted well and unfortunately is now wearing out. Not wanting to give up on a $300 shoe, I tried my usual morning walk this morning in this shoe. I got about 500 meters before turning back. Now I am back online, trying to figure out whether to risk another $300 on Hoka.

Pain-free
I deal with 7 issues of chronic physical pain. This is the only shoe--very literally, the only ones I've ever tried--that sufficiently mitigate much of that pain. For that reason alone, I'd give it 5 stars. The only reason it gets 4 is because the price is really, really high, and the material falls apart rapidly.

Hands Down Best Sneaker I have Evah Worn!
I have been battling weight issues for most of my adult life and have very rarely found a sneaker that could both support my weight and allow me to exercise at the same time without ruining the sneakers very quickly, the Hoka One One Gaviota 2 are a pure blessing, thanks you Hoka One One, you have a customer for life!

comfort
This shoe was not as comfortable as earlier Hokas I've purchased. Feels like a regular old sneaker. That's not what I paid the big bucks for.

over rated
This shoe came very well rated by others. Not for me. I finally took out the insole, and, finally enjoyed the walk. $275 is rediculous ! Truly one time only. My Altra Lone Peaks are better in every way and cost less than half, ($119)...the Hoka Walker is over rated, over priced,and , and a one timer .

Will purchase again
For me, literally no break-in period. I did walk with these first, before working out with them. And they wash up great from the Washer.

Great support and comfort but also very light weight.
I'm using these for my shorter runs for now as it's my first pair of Hokas. They are very comfortable and provide some welcome relief to my calf's from the other shoes. I bought the same size I would normally wear in other brands but will go up a half size when I'm replacing these in the new year. Very happy overall.

Casi perfecta, excepto que la tela de la punta se desgasta enseguida
He probado los "mejores" modelos de zapatillas de las mejores marcas. Todas me producían dolor de pies (tengo pies cavos). Entonces un podólogo dio con la solución: la "punta TRASERA" de las zapatillas debe ser CURVADA para NO forzar el pie en cada pisada.Busqué y comprobé que la única marca de zapatillas que ofrece modelos de este tipo es HOKA. Esta característica citada más arriba se llama técnicamente META-ROCKER EN FASE INICIAL. Desde entonces nunca más he tenido dolores en los pies.Lo único negativo es que la tela de la punta delantera se desgasta enseguida. Pero esto ocurre con todas las zapatillas fabricadas de tela transpirable.
