Don't know how many miles I put on my Gaviota 2s, but I basically wore...

...them everywhere for well over years. Don't know how many hundreds of miles I put on them, but they held up very well...better than most of my other running shoes. The only running shoes that have lasted as long (for walking) are probably my Brooks Beasts (which I occasionally ran in). I would put those Hokas in my "very long lasting" category of running shoes.

I can feel the support is no longer there, so I'm in the market for another pair of Gaviotas. Just waiting for the NEX to have another shoe sale.

Hoka shoes vs Asics? for plantar? anyone tried Hoka? -- bigbadbird 05/05/2021 08:05AM

Asics work well for me. I am a big fella. 255 to 260. I play sports -- OrlandoHokie 05/05/2021 12:27PM

HOKA is very soft. Lots of cushion. Short on stability. -- great2bahokie 05/05/2021 12:16PM

Just bought a pair and satisfied so far -- Tailgate Guru 05/05/2021 09:54AM

I would get a Gel Kayano -- lchoro 05/05/2021 09:50AM

I normally wear Hokas as my walking shoes, but they don't provide enough... -- EDGEMAN 05/05/2021 09:28AM

I personally am disappointed with Hoka. They don’t last. If you -- GreenvilleVT 05/05/2021 08:52AM

Curious what part of them didn't last for you -- HokieMacDaddy 05/05/2021 08:55AM

The bottoms wear way too easy. -- GreenvilleVT 05/05/2021 08:58AM

Not my experience at all, but I primarily used them for walking (pics) -- EDGEMAN 05/05/2021 09:41AM

I like Brooks, personally. I tried a pair of Hoka,s and they just don't -- santafe 05/05/2021 08:37AM

Agry. Brooks is the way to go. I'm a runner and a walker. ** -- Hokie Chris 05/05/2021 09:55AM

I have a pair of Hoka high top hiking shoes. They're great. I'll likely -- reestuart 05/05/2021 08:37AM

How's their durability? -- HokieMacDaddy 05/05/2021 08:53AM

I haven't had them long, so I don't know for sure. ** -- reestuart 05/05/2021 09:05AM

Hoka for me and it's not even close -- HokieMacDaddy 05/05/2021 08:20AM

I’ve tried Hoka twice. Both pairs fell apart around 600 miles. -- GreenvilleVT 05/05/2021 08:54AM

Try Hooka and maybe you won't need the Hoka. ** -- Late 80s Hokie 05/05/2021 08:10AM
