What shoes might I like if I currently have Hoka Gaviotas?

Question

I run/walk almost daily, usually running 2 miles and walking 5 for a total of 7.

I like my Hoka Gaviotas but I’ve been disappointed by how fast they’ve fallen apart (bottoms are worn down and thin, inside mesh is torn near heel)….especially for being $175. I don’t mind spending the money but I want shoes that last longer than these have.

Any shoe recommendations that are similar? I like the Gaviotas for how plush they are and how wide the toe box is. I got mine in a wide (unclear whether I need a wide or not but these are the first shoes I’ve tried that don’t make my toes numb). I can’t tell if I need a stability shoe…done every test in the book and I’m right on the line.
