Great support, awesome daily shoes
Easily my favorite daily walking shoes, awesome support with decent cushion. I do see some mixed review on this model. It’s not geared towards maximum softness, but it’s a life saver for people don’t have good arch like me
Yes , I recommend this product

Just OK!
This is my third pair of Hoka Gaviotas. On average, I walk about 30 miles per week. In my opinion, the Gaviota 4 was a great shoe, the 5 good, and now the Gaviota 6 just OK. It seems as if Hoka has given up on actually trying to improve each subsequent model iteration and only changing it. This does seem to be a very well thought out corporate strategy. Perhaps it is time to look for a different brand. One that actually is committed to improving their products.
