I'm usually very reluctant to order a pair of shoes without trying them on first, but the reviews for the Gaviota 5 - especially how they help folk like me with arthritic pain - were very convincing. Happy to say that these are the comfiest shoes I've every put on straight out of the box and immediately reduced the pain in my feet.
